Free for All

It has been a while since the last time I posted, but I have a good reason, my office job has changed it's way of work so these past days have been very time consuming.

I started this week with some cool shots from Finland! It is so rewarding when customers show their love!

Meanwhile at the jewelry workshop, tons of stuff are happening, good stuff!

Brass anchors and silver skull

New rubber molds are coming and new designs with them! Making my own beads it's what will eventually set me apart from others bracelet makers, what will make my brand special and unique.

But... workshop work is not the only work! (I wish!) showing the products is a great part of it, share them on all social media and make sure to reach as many people as possible. That's why it is so important to have a little fun!


 

"Don't let any part of your dream job to be boring or dull"






Much work is coming, ideas are materializing, organizing is the key, everyone says, and I thing it's true! Time is precious!

Growing Pains

This week was all about growing, my Instagram Official Page reached 3000 followers this week, I feel blessed and humbled for the support I have!

My skills carving wax have been improving and growing as well, I can work faster and more confident, my fox bead turned out great, the surface is nice and smooth, and it will be ready for casting next week.


 And I managed to make some anchors as well!


 It is not easy to make a business grow when you have a full time job and a family, it´s all about mastering the art of timing.  I am passionate about jewelry, and also good at it, that´s why I have to make an effort, give the extra mile, see the big picture, work harder, make smart choices and above all... endure!

Custom made Fox Bracelets

I gotta say that carving this fox bead has been a great task to do, even though I lost my first carved piece, that actually helped me, when I started carving the second piece, I felt more confident and it showed.

The tricky part was to put the ears into place and make them fit so they had a natural look.

Fox bead
It still need a lot of work, but I am happy with the result so far, I still have to drill the hole for the cord, lessen the overall surface, and empty the bottom part. Hopefully all of that will be done this week so I can make the first casting before making the mold.
