Hello Old Friends! And an Apology for Absentness.

Hey all!

I'm back, several months after promising you all a few more sweet days of earrings and blogging.  The end of college got really crazy, and I'm sorry to say that blogging and jewelry designing took a back seat.  Now, months later, I'm bored and hungry for a creative outlet.  So I'm back, at least for today.  Here's what you've missed in my life:

Summer:  This summer, I interned at an art gallery (wahoo!).  What a phenomenal (if predictable) thing for an Art History grad to do!  The gallery is in midtown, and the internship was a great experience.  I did database stuff, but also inventory of actual pieces of art in the warehouse.  Plus I made friends (my all-time favorite activity).  I also got to live in New York and take advantage of all the fun city goings-on.  I wasn't sure if I would be there for longer than the summer, which gave me this great carpe diem attitude.  It was fabulous.




Fall:  Internship was over, what was I to do?  Good question.  I ended up securing myself another gallery internship.  This gallery was in Chelsea, the gallery capital of Manhattan.  But it's a gallery that prides itself on friendliness, something that can't be said about most of the Chelsea scene.  So naturally, I loved it.  I learned about lots of artists because I was expected to answer questions.  How could I answer questions without learning a thing or two myself?  I also got to learn some art handling skills, a really cool perk of a smaller gallery where everyone helps with everything.  In the meantime, a part-time job opened up at the summer gallery, so I was working part time and interning part time.

Eventually, there was an opening at the summer gallery for a full-time Administrative Assistant position. I accepted the job, said goodbye to the fantastic Chelsea gallery (sadly, I didn't have time for both) and hello to full time employment!  Meanwhile, I moved into a new apartment in the same general neighborhood I was subletting in during the summer, and began making a little New York life for myself.


So, let's talk about today's earrings.  I used some of my secret weapon square wire to fashion a little abstract shape.  It's my secret weapon because it makes anything I do look a little more legit (see rings in past entries).  I attached a blue teardrop crystal bead to the bottom, and did a little wire wrapping magic.  Voila!  Elegant and fun, I think they'll go with anything.  Also, if you were wondering... yes, the earrings are being photographed against my apartment's Christmas tree.  It makes a fun background and I just love it (it's my first Christmas tree ever!).

Here we are, people, I believe you're all caught up.  It's been too long, friends. I need to get my jewelry business back up and running.  Man, I missed this.

Love and Beads,
Eve
