ElegantlyEccentric

'Tis the season!  I have loaded up the shop with earrings for special occasions and costume/reenactment wear, including the biggest pearl teardrops I've been able to get my hands on (I'm talking full on Vermeer).  Every purchase through the end of the year comes with a free pair of little colored crystal earrings.

Thank you in advance for your consideration, and for your support of a self-employed artisan.

Greetings, all!

This month, not only will there be photos of new pieces, but I'm soon going to have an Etsy shop open, where some of them will be for sale.

The Barony of Stierbach's Holiday Faire is this weekend, so most of the new jewelry is styled after Roman pieces.

I have the fortune (or misfortune) of knowing of a wonderful little second hand shop down the street that has a crazy amount of wonderful vintage and antique jewelry for sale.  Having spent a considerable amount of time drooling over a few of the older pieces that are a bit out of my price range, it dawned on me- very little of the "vintage inspired" jewelry out there, of which there's quite a lot these days, bears any resemblance to these incredible pieces.

$150 in pieces of filigree, bead caps, and filigree beads later, I'm going to see what I can come up with...

Ten years ago, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace broke my heart.  I'd been a huge fan of the old movies as a kid, and literally kept a countdown going to opening day of the movie for almost a whole year beforehand.  We went to see it on opening day, cheering with everyone else in the theatre when the LucasFilm logo appeared.  

Then Jar Jar Binks came on screen, and I nearly began to weep.

I went to see the second and third movies out of sheer respect and love of the old movies (and Ewan McGregor ), but that was about it.

Then, last week, my fiance picked up a copy of Knights of the Old Republic II, and the deeply buried, nearly forgotten nerdiness is back with a vengeance.   

As such, my sister Henri-Pants and I have decided that we should both dress as Sith Lords for Halloween.  It also makes a great bad pun, as we are "sith-ters".  *hides*

I'll be posting pictures of the costume pieces as I make them.

I'll also have a bunch of new jewelry pics up soon, as I'm trying to get at least 50 pieces made for sale by the middle of next month... and this is all while buying a house, moving, and managing a coffee shop.  At least there should be time to sleep come December!
