The Winds Of Change Are Blowing, Part Two

I have struggled with the words to describe my "new" jewelry style. So instead I put together this slideshow for your enjoyment. I had originally chosen a different theme, but I liked this one better. The winter scene and the quote make me think of clean slates and new beginnings. And in a sense new beginnings is what I am doing with my jewelry and my store. This is the kind of jewelry I will be making from now on and what I will be keeping in my Willow Walker Designs store on Artfire. After viewing this slideshow I have to admit I even impressed myself. I look at it and still can hardly believe such beautiful and amazing work came from my little ole' hands!

After watching this slideshow you may be asking yourself why am I still calling this a "new" style? I started finding my style in late August of 2010. Unfortunately most of 2011 was spent dealing with life altering changes after the loss of my father. Probate, inheriting the family stained glass business and all sorts of little day to day tasks took up most of my time.

That and learning how to juggle all these demands on me and my time.

Just for fun what would you call this style? Romantic, elegant, tribal? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Introducing the New "Elegance Collection"!

I'm finally intoducing my newest jewelry collection! The "Elegance Collection" I know I've been tempting you all for weeks with these pieces. I wanted to time this with the grand opening of the juried jewelry exhibit the first few pieces of this collection are part of in Sage Gallery, on the coast of Oregon in Bandon.

To celebrate I will be doing several things. One is I'm going to do a give away here on this blog! I will be giving away not one, but two pendants! The pendants shown above, my red Sweetheart pendant and the lovely white and gold floral on blue pendant! To enter to win one of these lovely pendants all you have to do is leave me a comment here on my blog. (appropriate, please or it will be deleted and your name will NOT be entered) I will write the names onto slips of paper and put them in a container. At the end of the time period I will randomly draw two names out of the pot. If you help promote this event I will add your name into the pot again! You have to leave me a link of where you promoted this studio at. (I have to be able to follow it!)

I have listed these stunning Black Cherry Delight, Dichroic Art Glass Wire Wrapped Earrings in my studio today. This is the first official listing of the new "Elegance Collection". I have put some items that were already in my studio into this category as they seem to fit the best.


Also I would love to hear opinions on an idea I am toying with. I am very tempted to hi-grade my studio and move a portion of my items to my other Artfire studio, The Glass Goddess. Leaving the fancier, higher end goodies in my Willow Walker Designs studio.
