Friday, October 8th - Art Update

Working on:
• Looking for a way to remove liver of sulfer smell from jewelry. - did some searching with not luck yet.
• Artwork done or printed for the following pendants:
   Black miniature schnauzer 
   Denene - family photos 
   Tiffeni - coffee / foxglove 
   Hellcats 
   Twist Tea 
   SF Giants - images gathered - waiting on pics from customer who requested Giant bling.

Need to Do:
• Aceo pendants - put together and solder - complete with beads etc...,
• Dana's earrings - decided I need to do over so both side match better when cutting the ceramic pieces.  
• Start back in on my hammered and sculptured metal jewelry pieces to build back up my wiped out inventory!
• Goal - add or renew daily to my Studio Jardine Etsy Store.
• Watching for contest winners here to send out boxed cards. - sent 2 boxes out - need to know who to send to
for #470 & who all for #480
• Wrap up earrings for Eileen and Janet
• Lisa -show moonstone necklace to her for possible purchase.
• Send KL - check for shipping

 Pondering:
• The idea of having a booth at the High Country Hellcats Roller Derby bout at the High Country Sports Arena in   Sonora/Standard on the eve of Saturday, November 6th.  I think it could be fun.  I am awaiting the application and as soon as I get it I will make a final decision - not sure if they are going to have vendors now.....
• See if I can build up my inventory & sell my jewelry at the George Post Gallery in Sonora.  It's an honor to be asked and I believe it would be the best place I could sell my craft! : )

HELP:
Let me know if there is anything I'm forgetting! THanks!

Aquamarine Earrings - potential customer request

I don't do commission per-say so, when a customer wants something specific that I would like to do I will give them first rights of refusal.  This takes the pressure off of me (and the potential buyer) and I am never disappointed if they decide they do not want to purchase.  It's all good.

Dainty Aquamarine Earrings

stacked chips: $16
chips & and more: $18
includes tax and shipping

A shout out for Anyone wanting Custom Bling......

I am putting a shout out to anyone wanting a custom picture pendant. The week of October 4th is picture pendant week for me. I have a very small working space so I make different styles of jewelry each week. This past week was additions to my Nature Inspired Collection and this upcoming week are picture pendant necklaces. Cost for a 1x1" picture pendant with some bead bling are $35 each - includes tax & shipping. Now is the time to put in your order (remember 2 images - one for front and one for flip side) That is, if you want a pendant sooner than later. And, if you don't have an image but, know what you would like I can help you find images. If you want to get a pendant order in email me at studiojardine@ymail.com


pendant materials:
•archival glass
•archival aceo gliceé prints (archival ink and paper - long lasting, water and fade resistant) 
• silver solder with a black patina applied
• beads are varieties of glass, crystal and shell.  NO plastic!
