Progress on the Emmy's

As many of you know, I was asked by Ice Resin and CHA (Craft & Hobby Association) to create 5 bracelets that will be delivered to this year’s Emmy nominees. How exciting, right? Some of you have asked to have a peak at what I’m working on. So, here’s your peak..

                                                              

Come on now, you didn’t think I’d give it way yet, did you?

Jomama is going to the Emmy’s!

 I’m so excited to have been asked to submit some of jewelry for this year’s Emmy’s!

Myself and the rest of the Ice Resin® design team members were asked to make 5 bracelets to be given to this year’s Emmy nominees. I am so excited to have the opportunity to have my designs submitted for this!

 My goodie box arrived today (and of course I tore in to it!).

In the meantime, I have already been working away… 

This is just the start of my creative journey along the road to the Emmy's. Please continue to follow along and watch as my excitement grows!

Coincidence or not

 Lately good vibes have been coming my way. No black cats crossing my path…Is it because I’m open to it? That I’m paying attention? I don’t know for sure, but who am I to question things?

Here’s the chain of events:

In March of 2012 I met Susan Lenart Kazmer at Artfest and became part of her mixed media design team in September. Late October I met Regina from RMA Design Studio. In a discussion, I discovered she manufactures in pewter (which I happened to be researching).

  Fast forward to July of this year: I am fortunate enough to meet the wonderful people at Makers Square in Ft Lauderdale. They are as passionate about creating as I am and in less than 2 weeks I will be teaching the very first class there on Ice Resin®!

A few months ago Regina and I got together and pow wowed! We produced some pieces and she sent me on my way.

Last week a friend asks if I want to get together and do a photo shoot with my jewelry. Well, YES!                         I’m (im)patiently awaiting the photos to add to my look book for my pitch for a major retailer. Can’t wait to see the photos…

I also had the good fortune of being given an enameling kiln last week. How sweet!

 Rewind to yesterday: I get an email presenting the opportunity to make jewelry that will end up in celebrities’ hands at the Emmy’s. Are you kidding me??? Of course I jumped on the opportunity.

I’d have to say the planets are aligning…

Fun on the Ice Resin® design team

In the last year my creative world has been spinning!! (That's a good thing).
Last fall I became part of Susan Lenart Kasmer's design team. Now, since I think Susan is God, this has been a dream come true:] I have also been introduced to her wonder team, including business partner Jen Cushman, Kristen Robinson and Carol La Valley, amongst others.

 I've been give an opportunity to play. With cool stuff. Each month. Now let me explain...one a month I receive a mystery box with components for my next project. Not knowing what you'll get is half the fun of it. I have mastered Ice Resin®, been introduced to Iced Enamels and Rue Romantique, and dabbled in Industrial Chic. Here's some of the fun I've experienced~
