potato for sale

Long time no see... things have been swirly around here. Many changes, big changes, live upside down changes. New goals, new roads new adventures and also a lot to leave behind, let go, and look back at.

But finally my potato ring is for sale in the shop. This beautiful bold silver 925 potato shaped ring is completely hollow and very thin. It makes it very light and comfortable to wear.

The concept of this ring is that it will dent by wearing it, having its own scars trough time... making it a unique piece, one that is formed by you. Maybe you can even tell the events that happened when it dented in that particular area or when you scratched it doing 'something' 'somewhere'.

I want to let you know that I will be lifting my prices on the 4th of July. So this is your chance to buy that ring you always wanted for a very very good price. I also will be adding some more new jewelry. There is a hidden ring on its way :)

till soon!

potato ring

I couldn't wait :) here is the first stage of the potato ring. When second stage is ready to be shown I will explain the concept of this ring. Patience, my friends!

a year and a week

One year and a week have passed since my first post here in blog-land. I forgot about it, I knew it was in February...but yeh... Looking back now I see that a lot happened in this one year, Poes came in my live, I met a lot new people and lost some old ones along the way, got my Etsy site up and started selling my jewelry and had my first show for my paintings and jewelry. Nothing but wonderful!

I still have some more jewelry to share - I made these for the 55th Wedding anniversary of 'my' grandparents. A wishbone pin and charm with a little diamond! They were very happy with it :)

the show

Some last preparations, all the rings in their little plastic bag with number and size.

Paintings on the wall, still empty jewelry displays...

And then the moment was here, last weekend was SHOWTIME... all the hard work was rewarded with a crowded show on both Saturday and Sunday. There were so many people that there were waiting lines in the hallway :) All the jewelry was spread out carefully by all the designers and I think everybody was happy with the way it looks.

My paintings fitted perfectly on the wall...it looked SO nice, I am a very happy girl :) I got lots of nice comments! And you know what the best part was...all my friends came to look at the paintings and the jewelry :-) thank you so much!!!

So, I am back to my normal schedule...today was all about cleaning up and giving Poes some attention. And tomorrow I will be back in the saddle finishing orders of rings in sizes I did not had at the show, painting commissions and buying supplies for a mural for a baby room that I will be starting to make hopefully this week. The mural has to be finished soon....because the lovely lady is getting close to due date :) And this is also why I had my first baby-shower this weekend, and it was so nice! It was in Lady Mendl's tea Salon, such a beautiful space. We drank lots of tea, ate many many cookies, chocolate, fingers sandwiches, salad, scones... I was completely stuffed when I had to rush back to the show!

So I will be catching up with you all this week...lots of blogs to read, emails to write and phone calls to make! *Daphne

knitted ring

I know, it looks like there is almost no difference with the 'white' ones but this one is silver 925 shining like crazy :) It is the first knitted ring completely finished... Tessa has knitted a ring in wool and I came up with the idea to make it in silver. We have a lot more ideas to come, so stay tuned on this one...

Furthermore I am working on new design for the upcoming show in November in New York (more info will follow). My sketchbook is bursting with little drawings, I want to make them all but I think there is not enough time for every single one of them. And some of the designs need to develop a little more before I can start working on them. Sometimes I wonder where the ideas come from, in my case I think they are fusions of several images I have seen in nature, fashion or things on the street. A combination of shapes, forms and lines... Anyway, you'll see what comes up :)

Anyone going to see some shows during Fashionweek here in NY?
