Jewelry and print sets now on Etsy!

Long time, no update. I’ve been busy taking biology classes, dancing, and more. And then the whole quarantine thing happened…

I’ve been sorting through my jewelry and art inventory lately. With no craft fairs on the horizon due to COVID-19, I’ve started posting some pieces and sets on my Etsy page again.

So I came up with the idea to list several jewelry pieces (like earrings or necklaces) together in the same listing and have customers choose which pair or piece they want. The sets will also come with a small print, some stickers, and perhaps more. Sort of a grab bag assortment with some options and some surprise, all at a reduced price. I call them “Choose your own adventure” sets.

This is the complete set for one customer, who chose the copper floral earrings with obsidian. Her package came with a print, gift tags, some stickers (not shown), and two cards from the first proof of my oracle card deck.

Another customer chose these Celtic and amethyst earrings, and also received a print, stickers, a wirewrapped ring, and several oracle cards.

While these particular earrings are no longer available, I have other jewelry pieces available in this section of my Etsy shop here.

The prints and the stickers should be in stock — just make sure to request which ones you’d prefer when you order (and I can surprise you, too!). I only have one copy of each oracle card, but if you want a certain theme, I’ll tell you what I have available from my proof set so I can include it in the package. (Some ideas of what’s in my oracle card deck.)

Also, one piece of jewelry, a print, stickers, and more is only $18.50 (tax not included)! I doing only U.S. based orders at the moment.

So if you’d like some of my work, now’s the time! Go to my Etsy site and check it out!

2016: Artistic accomplishments

It’s been awhile since I last posted. I hope to give more of an update soon, and perhaps post about my artistic goals for the next year.

First, I wanted to share some of my artistic wins from this year through images:

As for myself, I’m excited to see my love over this coming Thanksgiving weekend.  I’ve managed to do a majority of my holiday shopping already, so I’m looking forward to cozying in…and hopefully selling a few things online!

September 1st Snapshots

I had the realization that business social media account-wise, I tend to post a lot on Instagram, occasionally on Facebook, sometimes on Pinterest, and rarely here.  My intention is to start blogging more.

I’ve been working hard – prolifically making jewelry, figuring out prices, planning for my next craft show (on September 13!), editing my digitized oracle cards on Photoshop, putting up a few new items on Etsy, and getting ready to go away for Labor Day weekend to visit my love.

So, here’s a taste of what I’ve been up to recently:

Brass Flowers with Lapis Lazuli Leaves Earrings
I found these brass flowers at a local bead shop/art gallery and knew I had to make them into earrings.  Brass Flowers with Lapis Lazuli Leaves Earrings.  Up on Etsy here.
Triangular turquoise in sterling silver
Triangular turquoise in sterling silver.  Also on Etsy.  Seen here with  a beautiful piece of selenite, one of my recent favorites from my stone collection.
Ways to Make a Wish Card - I see this as a birthday or general encouragement card. It's blank inside. Here on Etsy.

Collage/mixed media piece in progress. I wonder what it will become.
Collage/mixed media piece in progress. I wonder what it will become.  At this point, I know it will have more layers, but I’m not sure beyond that.  There’s something really soothing about creating with glue and paper.

Creative time and new items up on Etsy

               New Items in my Etsy shop!

On Saturday, I spent the day mostly offline.  In the morning, I went down to the Rio Grande and took a walk.  I also spent some time just sitting by the river.  Then, I came home and created up a storm:  I made prints, jewelry, and a watercolor painting.  I was really grateful for this time:  after all the busyness of the past few weeks, it felt wonderful to call a time out of sorts.  I need to take intentional time offline more often –  it allows me more space to dream and to refill my energy reserves.

I also took some time this weekend to write out a few new listings on Etsy, and posted them this morning.  You can find them here.

Update and Sale on Etsy

Now on Sale on Etsy!

I have a weeklong Nia (dance fitness) intensive training starting on July 25.  I’m nervous and excited.   Dance is another one of my creative outlets, and it also is great exercise.  In the meantime, from today through July 23, I’m having a sale on Etsy – 15% off with the coupon code NEWFOLLOW.  I just added a few new items to my shop, too.  www.etsy.com/shop/seekingspiritdesigns.

Also, I’m looking into printing some of my drawings and two-dimensional art pieces to make them into cards and larger prints.  I just ordered one set (for proof purposes) of my oracle cards and should get them next week.  Exciting times!
