Jewelry Design & Opportunities

18.5.15

Bah! The Layla and The Ava are my designs! So stoked to see this when I pulled up our site! 

Here is a look into my journey with my new job in a start up company. 

I am not sure how this all happened but just about two months ago I was a freelance artist and blogger who was trying but not really getting where to being a jewelry designer, product developer & instructor for a start up company that I love and truly believe is going to explode! With such a in concept people will fall in love and get addicted to having creative nights out!

I am overwhelmed with happiness and I think I might be a workaholic- if you can call doing what you love to do work. 

So let's get a behind the scenes of my designs and what you can expect to see for projects at our events. 

We are currently just starting in the Boston area BUT we have big plans. Be sure to share the love with us about your thoughts on this idea. We love to hear what everyone thinks and wants from this.  

I can't complain about working late when this is what my work space looks like. 

Wrap bracelet design. 
Endless about of color options 
So fun for any outfit-customize it to your look or stack it with other bracelets 



I'm digging my new bangle gemstone bracelets. Such a fun way to bring color to a natural yet delicate look. 




Here is a close up:

Layering necklaces is in so go book your creative night out with us now to be one of the first to make these with us! We are even doing double chains! 

I might even just wear them all! 

Other fun looks I am working on for our events. 

The beaded layered necklace 



We call this one rock bottom 




When the first order of beading supplies came in it was like I was 5 years old and just entered my first candy store! 
See how I wear my designs: 

Here are some new wood beads, leather& tassels.  

Events are fun, social and a great way to end the night. 
Plus you leave with a one of a kind, handmade piece of jewelry! 

Be sure to follow me and Jewelry Design & Wine on Instagram and Facebook to get sneak peaks and hear about upcoming events so you can come have a blast and make your own! 


Summer Designs and Beach Wear

Summer designs are in the works & you can get sneak peaks along with some behind the scenes of our designs in the works! 

Bring bright blues & green into some fun tassel designs really brighten up my day! They are so fun to make & wear! 
Testing more beaded necklaces with tassels & some chunky necklaces out in our photos. 

Bringing the bright back! Stacking these bright colors out a smile only face...honestly! I couldn't help but just be in a good mood! 

So we see these rope bracelets all over & the sell like crazy. I went ahead and used some old ropes and such I had-lets be honest here, not loving them :( oh well! I attempted....

Wore some fun handmade bangles to the Revolution game the other night. They stack oh so nicely with my beautiful wrap watch. 

Laying it all out to prepare for some photos of our new designs & projects. 

Seeing the jewelry being photographed was on thing but seeing it on their screen was awesome! I was so thrilled! 
Little sneak peak of my set up that takes over our counters most of the time. 

This is "THE AVA". Join us June 3rd to make your own! We have lots of color options for your to choose from.  

Another way to stack it up! I am wearing a bigger version of "THE LAYLA" here
We aren't in love the with round 6mm beads :/...
But these little beads are a perfect fit! I have more options coming soon! 

Here is a design in th works: one sided bead work with an agate stone pendant

Thank You Boston!

28.4.15


Living in Boston on One Boston Day was an eye opener. We always notice the bad things that people do but One Boston Day brought out a lot of good in people. 
The city was  flooded with blue  & yellow Boston Strong gear.
So since the declared it a day of random kindness I wanted to participate. 

I have no clue if anyone liked these, took any or well....anything about how they went over but I did a few watercolor paintings that read Boston Strong. I placed them at Alewife station for people to grab and just said that if you take one to pass on the kindness.




Later that day I had to take off to my yoga shift....
I was wearing my " Okay, but first coffee" shirt, converse, clack leggings & a jean button up shirt

Start Up Time

So as some of you know...I have a new job!!! I am super excited about it. 
I am a product developer with Launch for Jewelry Design & Wine....take note because they are going to be everywhere- you'll see. The best part is, it is such a fun, creative night out. 
since I have started I have spent pretty much most of my time working...but I love it. There is so much to do, so much I can do * so much to figure out that half the time I look up and it is 4pm! 

Passion is the difference between having a job and a career

Biking into Boston

Looks beautiful, right?

right- LOOKS is the key word here....I were ripped dark green jeans, a tank tops w a long sleeve shirt over it & my converse.
I was so cold Ryan gave me his flannel for most of our adventure & since we biked in we made a pit stop at TJMAXX where I bought a cute workout hoodie for $20.00!


We love Boston incase you were wondering. 
Here is a view of when we finally made it down to the river looking over at downtown Boston.
 Biking in the wind & having no clue where you are going was a sure adventure! We can cross that off the list....
yes, yes this is what you think it is.
While we were walking through the Boston Common we ran into this little creature who was rather too friendly....a guy was feeding him right out of his hand & probably food that he shouldn't be & isn't use to eating but that is another story....

Quick Selfie
Ryan take a picture....I never said smile so this is what we left with....
Thank babe.

Another view of the Common

The main reason we did this bike ride was to get outside & enjoy the "nice" on the way to see the marathon finish line.
It was a bit chilling to see it all set up. This was one of the first places we meet up with an old friend of mine for dinner. We walked these roads multiple times not knowing that this is where such tradgety had happened. I guess we were naive. When we noticed that we stood & have walked this area multiple times a heavy feeling overcame us.

Well, to end this on a happy note- the people of Boston are amazing, Boston is amazing & if you have not had a chance to experience Boston- do it!
Boston has brought us so many opportunities that it is hard to keep track them all. From the little things to big career opportunities- Thank you Boston!
