Launching The Biz–Finally
I got some of the stuff up on the shop site last night, the other things I’ve been working on are still waiting on the supplies I ordered. I really hope they weren’t lost in transit. 
They got shipped from China so of course they’re gonna take a good 2 weeks (or more) to get to me. I just hope they get to me. But anyhoozits, here it is…
That’s the logo I was toiling over. I wanted something kinda simple, every how-to-make-a-logo article I read all said to keep it relatively simple because it makes it easier to remember and recognize. You also need to be able to easily adapt it to different things and make it look good if its small. I was gonna use the gothic font that I love (the one up there) but it didn’t look so good shrunk down.
But I’m really excited about the stuff!!! Here are a few of the things up on the site ready for sale.
This one is like my baby, its the first bracelet I made entirely out of polymer clay beads. I formed them by hand, painted them by hand and glazed them with acrylic gloss. I friggin’ love that mauve color. I would keep it, but I won’t be stingy. 
The beads are kinda big (1.5 cm in diameter) so this is a bold bracelet. The boldness is what helped me give it its name “Lady Executive”. Click here.
I’m happy with how these turned out. People usually make cute sweet foodies but have you seen some spicy ones? I love the cupcakes and other baked goods people make out of polymer clay and I may make some of my own very soon. I made some little roses that are waiting in the wings! Click here.
These are pins made out of plastic butterfly wings (from some hair clips) that I glued to a polymer heart base and graced by 2 Swarovski crystal rhinestones. There’s a green/blue, pink/purple and gold pin. Click here.
I’ll probably end up selling more individual charms if I can’t get these supplies here soon. I also have a few hair accessories I’m about to work on.
Oh, and I’m doing a shop link exchange on the shop site, check that out and contact me if you have a shop and want to link up! Click click click.

Awesome!! Good luck with your new biz! My husband and I have been talking about doing some side work with designing. So far it’s good — not sure yet if we want to keep up doing this and really become a business. We’ll see! Meanwhile, good luck with yours and I look forward to seeing more from you!

I have been making lots of stuff but not good at the business side of things. If you ever need supplies or anything I have boxes full of stuff. Just let me know trying to get rid of things. Can give you a good deal.

hey gorgeous.
oh wow. china huh? my mom orders things from hong kong so it takes about little close to 2 weeks also. so, good luck with your package. hehe. I’ve been thinking about a small company name for me & my besties small business (sorta) but it’s so hard to come up with a name. damn! i love your shop! my mom likes to make jewelry. I don’t know if I have an eye for it like she does. but i’ve made earrings before – it’s fun. but time consuming to make ‘em “perfect”.. u know?
haven’t tried coconut rum & mountain dew. Sounds delicious. i’ll try that next time. we went with the mai tai & the coconut rum just because that’s all we had around boo. but it’s okay. next time. thanks for the suggestion ang.

Congrats on opening your shop! The site looks great and so does the stuff your selling!
I was wondering, do you do custom jewellery? I have a necklace with plastic pearls about the size of the pearls of the bracelet you’re selling. I’d love a bracelet (in black and white) matching the necklace I have but it’s hard to find anything with that big pearls.

I think the white pearls of the bracelet in this post looks good. What do you mean by making the beads pearly?
The necklace which I want the bracelet to match is just made of plastic pearls so it’s nothing too fancy. As long as the braclet is black and white I’m happy.
