Hey all!
My name is Eve, and I make jewelry. I started about 3 and a half years ago after a friend saw me doodling earrings all over my notebooks and suggested I actually make something of my designs. Since then, I've been both teaching myself and gathering ideas from books, websites, other people's jewelry, basically anywhere i can find them. I work mainly in beads and wire, occasionally using findings like buttons or watch gears. I am a poor college student so I can't afford all that much else, but it's time to get creative!
A couple days ago my friend suggested I start a blog about my jewelry-making, perhaps even making a piece a day. I'm a little wary to commit to doing something every single day. I'm giving myself a little leeway: if my 365 days of jewelry are completed 400 days or less from now, I will consider it a success.
I'm hoping that through this, I will be able to hone my skills while also increasing my productivity. Along the way, I guess I'll talk about my day, my life, etc. I'm a graduating senior in college, by the way, so the future is near! That should make for some interesting reading.
In order to be truly proud of my jewelry I need to be able to take nice pictures of it. Therefore, project number one starts tomorrow. I am going to make this, which is basically a box that will distribute light evenly and make for some beautiful pictures. Once that happens (hopefully tomorrow!) I'll get this show on the road!
Love and Beads,
Eve
LOVE YOU EVERS!!!
