Fall Fashion Line – Part I

Summer is coming to an end, and it’s time to start embracing autumn!  This year I thought it’d be fun to make some jewelry in the colors that pantone has declared to be popular for this fall season.

Here is the color palette from Pantone for fall 2012:

And here is the first part of my fall 2012 collection based on these colors:

This post is called Part I because I have more pieces that I have yet to photograph that are made of these colors.  I can’t wait to show them to you!

More Paper Quilled Jewelry Tutorials!

I have been hard at work making more paper quilled jewelry tutorials.  And I still have more in the works, yay!!  And don’t forget all the FREE tutorials I have here, with more coming SOON!

My  most recent tutorial is for many circle designs.  It includes seven patterns including my popular retro circles designs.  This pattern sells, like my other combo tutorials, for the low price of $4.50.

And there is more!  For those who are only interested in a certain pattern and don’t want to buy the combo tutorial, I am also offering “mini” or single tutorials!  These tutorials have instructions for one or two designs and are currently available in the following patterns:  (and remember, all earring designs can also be made as pendants and vice versa!)

pdf tutorial for long retro circle earrings

pdf tutorial for retro circles earrings

pdf tutorial for retro hearts pendant

pdf tutorial for lotus earrings and pendant

These single tutorials are available for only $2 each!!  Of course if you are looking for several designs at once it is a better deal to get the combo tutorials.  But if you are just looking for a specific design, then the single tutorials are perfect!

I have more combo and single tutorials in the works, so stay tuned!

Tiny Rose Post Earrings

I’d like to share one of the newer designs I have available in my etsy shop, the tiny rose post earrings.  I love making tiny roses and I know that some people like very small earrings.  When I make the dangle ones I need to use two tiny roses back to back to make a little bead to dangle from the earring.  But with the post earrings I only need to use one which gives another very affordable option.

Here are the colors that I have made so far, click on the photo to see the ones still available in my etsy shop:

 

Don’t see the color you want?  I can make these earrings in just about any color!  All you have to do is send me a convo on etsy for a custom request.  Or simply purchase one of the pairs that is instock and leave me a note with your order saying what color you would like.
Don’t forget, the Christmas in July sale is on through the rest of the month.  Use code CIJ30 during checkout to receive 30% off your whole order!

Paisley Inspiration

Although I haven’t been posting much lately, I’ve been doing a lot of creating over the past few weeks!  I have finally started listing some of my new pieces in my etsy shop.  One of my favorite styles to make now is paisley designs.  I’ve been making some pendants, some earrings, and some sets.  There is SO much you can do with the paisley design, I just can’t stop thinking of ideas!  Of course it’s impossible to find the time to create all of my ideas, but I have made a few!

Here is my most recent pair of paisley earrings:

These were inspired by an Indian sari I saw on TV when I was at my mother-in-law’s house.  Paisley inside of paisley facing the other direction.  It is simple, but stunning!

Here is one of my recent paisley pendants:

I love how the aqua and the black go together.  Designs like this are a lot more time consuming because of all the little pieces, but the end result is beautiful and quite sturdy!

I have some more paisley designs in the works, and many other pieces that are in the process of being listed as well.  A lot of work goes into my jewelry before I list it on my etsy shop!  First I have to make it and let it dry.  Then it goes through several layers of sealant/top coat which is a process that can take days as it needs to dry between each coat.  Next it’s time to put on the findings and take photos.  I usually do at least a few pairs/pieces at a time to make it more efficient.  Then comes the photo editing which can take quite a while and finally listing in the shop.   When I make a new piece I am often so excited to see the end product in my shop, but it can sometimes be up to a month before it gets there!  Right now I have about 20-30 different pairs/pieces that are in different stages of getting ready for my shop.  Can’t wait to get them all posted, and to start on some new designs as well!

New Paper Quilling Tutorial for Earrings!

I’m happy to have another paper quilling tutorial available!  This one is for five earring designs.  Of course, these designs can also be used as pendants or as designs on gift cards or anything else if you wish.  Here are the designs included in this new tutorial:

I have many  more plans for tutorials coming up.  It takes a lot of time to develop them, but it is fun as well!  Next up I’ll have another free tutorial, hopefully available in the next couple of weeks!

This tutorial, like my others so far, is available in my etsy shop.  It is a .pdf file with LOTS of pictures and very detailed instructions!  Even if you’ve never done paper quilling before you’ll be able to follow the directions to make these.  Click here for more details about the tutorial.
