Modern Lockets!

Hold loved ones close to your heart and still look cool!

I love lockets, but really don't like the "Grandma" look of most of them. The one I have - your standard gold heart with some etching - just sits in my jewelry chest.

I decided the other day to modernize the locket and actually wear one on occasion. I love having my son's newborn photo in it!

So here are a few that I've come up with so far. Let me know what you think. They'll be on my Etsy shop for sale very soon.

A few more pics...

I'm so excited to be finally getting the pictures up. I have them all on my flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aweshop/

Take a look and let me know what you think.

btw. my photography skills are improving, don't you think? lol.

My Jewelry!

Finally, after countless setbacks (computer problems, camera problems, battery problems, etc.) I'm putting my jewelry up on Etsy.

It'll be going in my shop a couple pieces at a time, but I'll put a couple extra here on my blog so you can get a sneak peek at what's going up for sale.

I plan on having some weekly specials and some give-aways, so check back often!

These pics are what I put up today and what'll be going up tomorrow!

Artist Profile: Laura Trevey

Laura has beautiful, colorful, exciting watercolor paintings. I love the movement and freedom in her images. They make me feel excited and calm all at the same time!

These are a couple of my favorites. Please visit her shop at: www.lauratrevey.etsy.com

This is from Laura's shop announcement:

Bright... Bold... Beautiful

Welcome to my shop of colorful watercolors! I offer Fine Art originals, limited editions, cards and prints. If you see a painting you would like in a larger size, please let me know! More about me: lauratrevey.blogspot.com

A very neat idea is that she is working with jewelry designer Anna Leah to use her paintings in pendants. They are beautiful. Truly wearable art!

"Original Art Pendants" of my watercolors are now being designed by AnnaLeahDesigns www.annaleahdesigns.etsy.com

NEW: Artist Profile Features

Hi all, I Love the idea of featuring fellow artists on our blogs to "share the love" and help promote one another. And it's so much fun looking around everyone's shops, finding favorites.

I'll do an artist profile periodically, no set schedule as of now. That will probably change as soon as I get it going.

Stay tuned...

Finally got a photo up of the JAVA Jeans cup sleeve.
