Back on Board

It has been a looong while once again but here I am back on this blog and back on to all things crafty. Last weekend i somehow stumbled back on to this block and scrolled all the way back to the beginning. I realized how much i had on here and it's kind of nice to see all the phases that i went through all through out the years. What a shame to drop everything and forget about this blog, especially now that i have picked up some interests again and am hoping to do more in the next year coming.

I know I've gone through so many different crafts and maybe this is really where my passion lies. I've always dreamed of having a little shop of crafts... supplying everyone with the cutests beads and materials, having workshops. I remember that one inspiration I had, that shop online, i think she lived somewhere in England or something. The shop was Paper and String. I know she started as a little business from just out of her home and i believe now she has this huge warehouse and an great online shop. Well, that's what I want. I had a nice little shop going a few years ago. I was supplying lots of crafting material, people ordering from me online. It was fun keeping inventory and shopping for new stock. I liked it. Unfortunately, things slowed down and I stopped for a while.

At this point, i think things are changing for me. I'm hoping one day I can open shop here where I am right now. I don't need really a physical shop but i think having an online shop here would be pretty profitable. I still have some of my materials and stocks and that could be a start. I have lots of places where i can order new supplies from and so I can definitely keep it going.

Well, i guess that will be one of my goals in the new year 2019. i have also restarted my jewelry business. This time I am planning on designing a few things that can be "repeated" and reordered and that way maybe i can supply to boutiques or small shops or maybe eventually to bigger shops.

I have my ETSY shop back online and it is filled with the jewelry I created. It definitely took some time to post but now it's fully stocked at about 107 listings. (and counting)

Here are some of my new ones....

So I am just rambling on and just putting my thoughts to paper. And I think from now I really should do that more. See you sooner!

Well, let me get back to editing my fused glass pendant photos...I still have tons and tons to upload. I made these for my bazaar in december and I am only able to start uploading them online now...i just wanted to drop by my blog and let everyone know, I am still around and working happily on my stuff...

Happy New Year Blog Friends!!!

One of my first Fused Glass Pieces

The first batch I did of fused glass pendants was in a workshop with my mentor. I made 4 pendants in about 2 hours and it was fired and I picked it up the next day. At that moment...I fell in love with it. I instantly loved fused glass!!! And I also fell in love most particularly with one of the pendants I made that day. It is one of my all time favorites and I almost decided to keep it for myself....but I said no...this is a business and I will make this available for somebody that connects with it. 

I have named it VENETIAN ROSE....the way the glass is arranged, it sort of reminds me of a rose... And I called it Venetian because it reminds me of the glass made in Italy...murano glass. Here it s my VENETIAN ROSE....

 

One of my most favorite dichroic patterned glass is the Florentine dichro. It has a gorgeous shimmery essence to it. The flowers are beautiful and when the light hits it, it just bursts with all sorts of sparkle. The best part of creating with this glass is mixing and matching with other transparent and solid glass.

This one is the simplest...florentine on a black backing. Black always brings out so much when using it with dichro..everything is so intense. 

I named this piece MIDNIGHT FLORENTINE. This one will be available very soon on my ZALORA shop page. Yup I became part of Zalora as a seller. But I am still waiting for my boutique page to go live. It should be any day now...

So, you can check out soon. This one is php1,480..including free shipping!!!

Editing Dichroic Pendant Pics

So i haven't actually tested my new kiln here yet. I have been trying to set up the home studio first and get all things together. I just recently purchased a transformer to plug in the 110V kiln which I am officially going to introduce in one of my next posts...so no picture of "her" quite yet.

Tomorrow will be the first day that I will be creating "new" glass pendants....I plan on firing them sometime within the week...possibly wed or thursday. I will need to make around 12-15 pieces for a batch of firing. Of course since it is my first firing here, it will need to be somewhat of a test fire because I am not quite sure if the firing sched will be the same as I did in Colorado where I learned to use my kiln.

As for now, I still have a bunch of my finished pendants to post. So I have been trying to take pictures of them that I can post in my website and facebook pages. Although I do like how the photos came out, it still is missing something. I mean if you look at my pendants in real life, they seem to pop with color and glow and sparkle....how do i capture that digitally?

Well, maybe with practice.... what do you think of these so far...

I gave each of them a name since each one will be a one of a kind piece...

Those are the few that I have edited so far. When you look at these pendants, there are particular ones that call out to you because of their colors or the way they light gives them a certain glow....and sometime it calls out to how you feel ...almost like bottled up emotions that you can see and wear and only you can understand....that's what I think about these pendants....

More to come in the next few days.....

Meanwhile....please visit my facebook page and you can see the pendants there too...here is the link...
