New in my Etsy Shop

This update is long overdue, but here it is!

I started creating ACEO's and ATC's last week. It's very fun, and addictive. These two are from a series of 25 that I call "The JrGoddess Series".

JrGoddess. #1 of 25



JrGoddess with Glasses. #2 of 25





I've got more on the way, so be sure to check in.

I made some jewelry, too.

Cupids' Arrow bracelet. Brass wire with rose quartz stones


Nova Earrings. Glass beads, freshwater pearls and sterling silver earwires



Super Nova Earrings. Glass beads, freshwater pearls and 14k gold filled earwires.



Also, I finally made my second sale! I sold the gypsy woman earring again. I'm really happy about that.

No new success but plenty of failures

I've been working on new designs like crazy, but none of them turn out well. I've been experimenting with different wire wrapping techniques, and I just can't do it! Everything that I make turns out crappy or stupid looking. You would think that after two weeks of experimenting I'd have figured something out. Nope. Just crap.

For example, here's a picture of a wire wrapped ring I made last Saturday. It looks OK, but not something that I would sale.
Keeping it for myself.
I think that I could try the design one more time, but make some improvements on the design. Next time, I'll plan the wrapping first, and then execute the design. I usually jump in without thinking about what I'm doing.

I made another ring as well. I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It has an earthy, and organic look to it. Me and my boyfriend call it the 'borg' ring. It just looks kind of sci-fi, cyberpunk/steampunk.
I just don't know how to feel about it.


Last, there are these pearl and jade hoop earrings I made. I love them, but no one else does. I think they're so cute. I'm just going to keep them for myself.
I like the gold, white and purple together.

Cute, on me!


So, here's my list of failures. Feel free to share your own stories about failure. How did you finally get over it? I would love to hear them and get your advice!

These are one of the first pair of earrings that I made. They consist of freshwater pearls, swarovski crystals and goldtone bead caps. One of my favorite items in my etsy shop. You can link up to my etsy shop here.
