Slowly getting done with this order.

I have 36 items done on a total of 50 items, for the consignment order. I am slowly getting there, and I'm getting really excited over all this. I'm still waiting for stuff to come over the mail, but I have more than half of the articles ready.

I have 9 sterling silver wire wrapped rings. I tag them separately and then put them in little ziploc bags to avoid tarnishing. I really like all these bright colors on the picture ! Makes me think of candy or something...

I'm still wondering how much I will sell these for. I have to consider the commission and the shipping as well. I do not have to use my own display, since the boutique's owner provides them free of charge. (Which is great !)

I also took a few pictures of the new design I came up with yesterday. I also made new earring cards. At the back, I have printed where it is made, and for whom it is made. The front simply a signature. I signed Enid on EVERY single card, and I like the look so far =)

I like this new design, I never really worked with shell and the mix with foiled glass is awesome. I also got bright fushia shyell beads that are similar to the ones on the picture. I matched them with bright blue foiled glass and it looks very nice too.

When I get more time, and when I buy some more, I will make the same design 2-3 times and list it in my Etsy and my Icraft.ca stores, to see what the demand is. It probably will be a success this summer, because the colors are awesome, and I could see myself wearing these at the beach =)

I also made a couple of dichroic glass earrings. I have 4 pairs so far, and need to have 6 more pairs, to send out with the first order. Here's how they look with the earring cards...
Sorry if the light is reflecting on the bag a little, but they were already wrapped for shipping, and I didn't really want to take them out of the bags and put them back in after.

Finally, I made 6 pairs of sterling silver earrings... These are made with stones, shell and pearls. They're on the same earring cards as the previous shell earrings, and it looks great ! I want to have more professional-looking earrings cards, but for now, I like the plain look of these.

Today was a great day, I think it was at lest 25°C outside today. I even got my first sunburn of the season ! (That's bad =/) Flowers are starting to bloom, I even took pictures.
Isn't it gorgeous ? We're starting to see some color ! I used to be scared that we still have snow for the wedding or something... No, really, I was scared.

Hmmm. I shall get back to work now... And my sunburn itches.

I should keep my hands busy so I don't start scratching my red shoulders.

Sooo lazy.

I have been such a slacker lately ! I haven't even touched a single website yesterday. Since the weather was so nice, I decided to work on my consignment order again, and go out for some shopping !

So here's what I did yesterday ; First, I woke up around 9AM, because birds were singing and my room wasn't even dark anymore... So there. I got up and moved all my stuff to the kitchen table, so I could enjoy the sun and the spring breeze filtering through our sliding door. I crafted there almost all day, and the only time I went out was to buy new supplies.

I got some nice shell beads, as well as som cool new silver foiled beads. Form these supplies, I came up with totally new designs the I will probably photograph tomorrow. They're already mounted on earring cards, so I will take the pictures when everything is done, to show you what my consignment order will consist of !

By the way, we got an awesome response to my "Christianity meets Handmade" chronicles on http://www.philz-corner.com I can't wait to write more articles to make people discover those great Christian crafters =)

That's all for today, I'll post some colorful pics tomorrow, that'll bring some joy to my blog !

I have also been very busy for the past days, as I just signed a consignment agreement with Boutique Mixi, in Quebec City. I've been making more of these dichroic glass earrings. Look how these are gorgeous ! Absolutely love the new color mix.


Doesn't it look rich and sophisticated ? I really like the bright ones, but these look chic chic chic !

I have to deliver 50 items of all sorts before May 1rst. I had to order materials yesterday, and I`ll keep my fingers crossed to have them fast... I already have 4 pairs of earrings made for this order, as well as 3 sterling silver wirewrapped rings. I just need... 43 other items =/

I should stop blogging and get to work. Yes ?

Yes.

Happy Birthday Papa =)

Yesterday's was my dad's birthday. My hard-working papa is now 56 years old ! So I guess today's is going to be "Papa's Post"...

Papa works a lot. He's got 4 days per week day job, and works the other 3 days as a sideline. He does silly things when working, and ends up hurting himself most of the time. (Bad, Papa.)

Here he is, when we had that major snow storm in Montreal...

isn't he adorable ? =D

Happy Birthday to my papa !

Spring... Finally.

***ANNOUNCEMENT***

My website Enidjewelry.com is now online ! Check it out !

***Back to normal post***

Things are starting to grow ! I see some green leave making their way out of the soil, and these will be tulips very soon =) See by yourself !




This smells like spring to me ! I went outside this afternoon, and the sun was very warm... That made a change from the long winter we had. I really enjoyed breathing fresh air. I even went past someone mowing his lawn. Fresh cut grass scent = Goodness.

Here's what I did yesterday, since I couldn't really type due to some killing pain in my arm... I went shopping with my sister, and got two pairs of skinny jeans. Yes, I thought I'd never be able to fit in those, and I was so surprised by how they looked on me ! I had a 40$ gift card for that shop, so I ended up buying two pairs for 5$ =P
I also got those nice leopard shoes...



They look TERRIFIC with my skinny pants ! I look like I'm right out of the eighties <3 I also got dog tags. Anyone remember Aldo's campaign for AIDS awareness with different artists ? I got the one that says "Speak" !



Well, that was my blog lovin's for today =)

Enjoy the nice weather everyone !
