So, uh. *waves*

I had been waiting to post about this until I got some more items uploaded, but. I keep mentioning it to people, and there's thirteen things in there, which is just going to have to be enough for now. (I had so much more time when I had no social life, srsly you guys.)

Etsy shop. I has one. Jewelry and very tiny paintings - future plans include a wider selection of jewelry, larger paintings, and possibly other things. ;)


And some interactive funtimes: jewelry prompts! (I'll take painting prompts some time soon, promise.) Your prompt can be anything, but I reserve the right to engage in some wacky free-association to turn it into a piece of jewelry.

The prompter has right of first refusal on their piece. After that, I'll offer these pieces to my journal readership, and after that, whatever's left will go on etsy.

Even if you doubt you'll buy whatever comes of your prompt, you can still ask me to make something. No excuses or apologies needed. Nobody has to buy what I make from their prompt. I just want inspiration.

Could I leave you a painting prompt and a jewelry prompt in the same comment and you could pick one and choose the medium? I'm so sporadic about friendslist things right now, I wouldn't want to miss it.

Prompts:

1. Daphne, the girl who turned into a tree.

2. "Yes, the dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate, driven deep beneath the waves--let me forget about today until tomorrow." -- Bob Dylan

Yeah, that's cool.

I will get back to you with the jewelry in the next couple of days, and then return again when I have time and space to paint. Good?

[harborshore]

For sure, that's fantastic! Hopefully the prompts work for you. I really like the look of the jewelry, very simple and elegant (and I mean that in a non-upper-crusty way).

Man, it is nice to get a comment notification immediately after someone replies to you. *glares at LJ*

[sofiaviolet]

Oh, I already have ideas going. I just need to get groceries with my sister tonight. Bleh, basic life necessities, ruining all my fun. ;)

Thank you!!!

[sofiaviolet]

Okay, I went with the first prompt: Daphne

Taking pictures inside at night does not work so well. :\ Let me know if you want me to try again in the morning.

Materials: green marble and labradorite (these stones have a lot of flash, but it's hard to capture that even when the lighting conditions don't suck). The wire I use has a coating that means it's super unlikely to react with your skin.

If you want to buy this set, it'd be $23 with shipping included. If not, I'd be happy to credit you for the prompt in whatever manner you like.

[harborshore]

Yes, yes I want them! They're gorgeous! Would you be willing to hold on to them for a little bit, until I get my student aid or my paycheck, whichever comes first (I'm betting the paycheck, which means I'll be able to buy them by the 23rd of December)?

[sofiaviolet]

Absolutely. :) No rush or anything. Just let me know.

[fleurdeliser]

I would love to see jewelry inspired by this painting. It's my favorite. :)

[sofiaviolet]

... :D

No, seriously. I have exactly the right stone for this. I was debating whether to buy it, but I did and now I'm really glad.

I will have pictures within a couple of days.

[fleurdeliser]

\o/

Yay!

[sofiaviolet]

:D?

Taking pictures inside at night does not work so well. :\ Let me know if you want me to try again in the morning.

Materials: yellow chalcedony and Czech glass beads. The wire I use has a coating that means it's super unlikely to react with your skin. The maze part is kind of delicate, so you would probably want to keep it in its own little box when you're not wearing it.

If you want to buy it, it'd be $17 with shipping included. If not, I'd be happy to credit you for the prompt in whatever manner you like.

[fleurdeliser]

Oooh, I love how you interpreted the prompt. It's really lovely. I would like to buy it, but probably shouldn't at this point. Feel free to put it on your Etsy page, I will bookmark it and if it's still there when I have some spare cash, I will order it.

No need to credit. James Jean did all the real work. :D

[sofiaviolet]

Okay. It'll probably be a while before I can write up a description and take some daytime photos, anyway. (Plus I have another of the yellow beads, which I can hang onto for a while, s I had no actual ideas in mind when I ordered the pair of them.)
