Sneak Peek! New Photos of New Jewelry!

I managed to take some photos on my lunchbreak today of items to list in my Etsy shop. Let me know what you think of these "rock-collector" rings :)

Smu is Back! Sneak Peek at New Work

After a long break I am back at the jewelry bench and the computer! I was able to spend some time being creative this weekend while hubby and baby took a nap together :) I am quite pleased with the fruits of my creative labor and plan to list the matching set pictured above in my Etsy shop along with a newly-created copper and chyrosocolla ring.

Sneak Peek!

I finally got a chance to take photos of some recent creations so I can post new listings in my Etsy shop! Here is a sneak peek for my blog readers at three of my favorites from this recent photo shoot before they hit Etsy. Above is a quartz cyrstal pendant made with a stone purchased at the Raleigh Gem & Mineral show. Next is one of my perennial favorites--a fossilized ammonite. This fossil pendant is on a antiqued copper bail and chain which coordinates wonderfully with the rich earthtones of the ammonite fossil.

Finally, an aqua-blue seaglass pendant with a double-bail on a silver plated chain. Let me know what you think of my new work!

Sneak a Peek at what's New from Smu!

This fall I've been expanding the selection of metals in my designs and have become very fond of using brass. The contrast of antiqued brass with light-colored beads like the lovely lilac purple ovals used in the beachy bracelet pictured here. In addition to my normal product shots using driftwood and flooring tiles for a background I've also taken photos of this bracelet on one of my wooden hand bracelet displays.
I have a set of 12 wooden hands (made by my Grandpa) that I use at craft shows, and they've become a real conversation piece with customers! Hopefully they will draw as much attention in my Etsy shop as they have in person at shows :)

In addition the the beachy brass bracelet, I have this pretty little blue seastar bauble pendant and several other items ready to list. Stay tuned to my Etsy shop for some great new stuff as we close out the week!

Sneak Peek - New Listings Coming Soon!

It's been rainy all day here, but that didn't stop me from shooting some photos of new work while I was home on my lunchbreak.
The photos came out rather well considering the lack of sunshine!

Let me know what you think, and be sure to check my Etsy shop later in the week as I will be listing these new items and several others!
