News from the Nest

February 27, 2009 by The Noisy Plume

I didn’t shoot the sheriff or the deputy but I have felt a bit guilty this week for not posting my usual amount of new jewels in the Etsy shop! I have a bit of a commitment next week and I’ve been hoarding MOST of the jewelry I’ve finished last week and this week.

Pocatello, in an effort to support the arts in our little town, has an art walk scheduled in Old Town every first Friday of every month. I’ve been pondering, for some time now, about finding a boutique host where I can set up my work for the locals to see. What with the start of school and my constant meanderings through the fine arts building on campus I’ve fully realized I’m on an island off the shoreline of the local artist community here in town, or in Idaho for that matter! My debut at First Friday in Pocatello is an attempt to swim the narrow channel across to the mainland and give myself a face here in town.

These necklaces (ocean jasper, labradorite and rhodochrosite) and many, MANY more will all make an appearance on the first Friday of March in Old Town Pocatello. I’m a bit nervous, as I always am in the face of any public debut but I know the feeling is unfounded since any individuals I have ever come in contact with while wearing or presenting my work have been of the Capital A+ sort.

This is all to say that while I may seem like a slacker this week, I have in fact been quite prolific in my studio. In point of fact, I crafted 12 necklaces yesterday and 6 pairs of earrings. The good news is that after the art walk, many of my new designs from last week and this week will find their way into the Etsy shop!

I do have a few new designs to put in the shop today and will attempt to photograph and list them after I finish this bloggo.

It’s fresh baked bread,

hot coffee,

and a cozy front room here at Plume Gables.

And I hope it’s a happy Friday where you are!

The view from my studio window yesterday:

I’m telling you, snow flakes the size of persian cats!

PSS I’ve just been reading the recent Etsy feedback some of you have left me and

it simply enforces the fact that I work for some of the greatest

ladybirds and gentlebeards on all of the face of Earth.

I read each and every word you write.

Thank you.

Because you’re mine…

February 24, 2009 by The Noisy Plume

I’ve been thinking of making manlaces for a while now. Today I made a couple! This one features a quote from a Johnny Cash song:

“Because you’re mine, I walk the line…”

A significant moment in rock and roll/country music because it hits the nail on the head in terms of what your partner should do for you over your lifetime together! You should make each other want to be better people. You should make each other walk the line. At least that’s how I gauge a good match.

The idea was to make a necklace that a guy might actually wear that’s nice enough for a girl to steal every now and again. I decided that a dog tag style necklace might do the trick. This one has been roughed up and weathered in order to match your man’s 5 o’clock shadow and old jean jacket. Other features include a 19 inch chain and a rivet where the bail passes through the tag. I whipped up another necklace today for RW. His says, “Know when to hold ’em.” He considers himself a gambling man so I thought it was quite appropriate. Let me know what you think and head on over to the shop in the next while because I’m doing an update as your eyes peruse this blog post!

I hope your Monday was swell.

If not, there’s always Tuesday!

The Manlace looks like this on an actual man:

I meant to snap this photo of RW wearing the manlace yesterday so I could let you see what it actually looks like on a hunk, but he was doing something in the yard with a chainsaw. Isn’t he smokin’???

That ain’t no cottontail rabbit.

February 19, 2009 by The Noisy Plume

This Jackrabbit is hot footing it to the shop today.

In case you’re wondering, that’s Kyanite on his scruffy rump.

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING FURTHER…KYANITE IS METAMORPHIC AND I THINK THAT JUST LOOKING AT IT WILL CAUSE ALL THE BAD THINGS IN A PERSON TO TRANSMOGRIFY INTO GOOD THINGS. Kind of like a stone baptism…but not.

In the shop tomorrow!

:::::EDIT:::::

YOWEE!

Stuff surely did fleetly fly right out the door yesterday!

Thanks so much ladies, for your support and your sweet little comments, emails and notes,

it all means the world to me (and more importantly, it gives me a reason to get out of bed every morning since I am otherwise rather unemployable by the real world).

EDIT::Hey there ladybirds and gentlebeards! Wowsers! Thanks so much for your support today! My new designs flew right off the shelves and into your hearts. Thanks so much, as always, for the delightful convos, sweet emails, and kind comments you’ve left for me today (and all days). I’ll see you all upon my return from Arizona and if I get the chance, I’ll be sure to post a few pictures of the adventures we have while away.

You’re my favorite Valentines.

PLUME

Ready.

Set.

Go!

I’ve just finished taking and editing photos and am headed for the Etsy shop now for the final update before our little trip commences. Anything that sells in the shop today will be shipped out to you today. RW is pulling a serious tornado turnaround on shipping this afternoon. Thanks for being so patient birds! See you at The Noisy Plume.
