crushing on...

this wicked jewelry by Joomi Lim.

upper metal class...

hey fellow bloggers! so the week kinda got away from me, i've got some new and exciting things going on and a bit of a job change, which i'm really excited about. i'm still working for myself obviously, but i like to keep a job on the side, and i've started a new one and really love it.
and for now, heres some gorgeous jewelry i've been drooling over lately. i love pretty much every piece from Upper Metal Class, and these are some of my favourites right now! aren't the little skulls just awesome?! i actually own a pair of her triangle earrings, and have pretty much worn them everyday since i got them.

of a kind love...

i seriously love the site Of a Kind. and i love this necklace. if only it were within my price range...

some current work...

some new pieces i made last week before the craft show. i really like playing with the hex nuts and different hardware.
tomorrow i'll show you some photos of my bug installation that i had up in the textile show this weekend.

final critique!

so this was the work that i showed at my final critique! i'm really happy with the way that it all turned out, and with the way it was all displayed. the colourful scarves are the pieces that i am putting into the Grad Show at the OCC this week, and then the picture of the b/w work will all be in the Grad Show at the Sheridan Gallery. now i'm pretty excited to see it all up and displayed!

new pieces!

so i've got some new work made! i've mostly been stitching the last 2 weeks, both hand embroidered pieces, and well as the circle machine stitched pieces. and i'm loving both sets! both sets are necklace pieces and well as some brooches. the current pieces are all black, white and grey, and the next bunch will be colourful, in the same colour way as some of my scarves (which i have some new ones to share with you soon too!). ohh and some of these new jewelry pieces are up in the shop if you want to check them out! and if anyone is interested in something specific or a certain colour feel free to message me!

studio day...

so yesterday was a busy day in the studio. i only have one more week left until my final critique! and yesterday we talked with both of our teachers and a guest about installation and our work. i've gotten quite a few little textile jewelry pieces done now, and some will be going up into the etsy shop later. ohh and i dyed some new scarves the other day, i'll show you them soon!

to keep track of my time...

i think that i need this watch. its so pretty. its multi wrapped band and pretty coral colour are calling my name.
i'm not usually a watch wearer. i have one right now sitting on my bedside table waiting for a few more links before i can wear it. but this one would be such a lovely, feminine addition to my jewelry collection.
