So it has been forever and a day (almost a year in fact!) since I've updated this blog. I've been busy making jewelry, learning to live with my lovely husband, and traveling back and forth from home to Atlanta and back. I finally have some pretty business cards for my etsy store and uniform packaging. Seems like a small thing, but it makes me all excited! Here is a sneak peak of the new logo:

Gemma Unicornis

Pretty happy with how it is coming along, although inking an image in Photoshop is way harder without my old Wacom tablet. I need to save up for a new one! I'm branching out from my bead work and starting to create more items with wire and chain mail. I learned to do the tree of life from a tutorial by Ellen Thurmond.

Art and jewelry
Sterling silver wire, yellow and rose gold fill wire, and sunstone chips.

Soapstone and copper wire tree of life
Copper wire with a black coating and rose gold colored copper wire with a soapstone moon.

Chain Mail S
Sterling silver and Rose gold filled jumprings. This is a variation on a stepping stone pattern. I wear this a LOT. It is my new favorite piece of jewelry!

Fancy Cameo
Saved one of my favorite cameos. I've got a minor obsession with cameos - many more coming soon!

Brown Sunset
I have yet to get a really good name for this piece, but it will be in my store soon. Swarovski rivoli, crystals, and a piece of rock that I picked up at a craft show. I'm not sure what it is, so if anybody knows, get in touch!

Ok, I promise that is the end of the picture spam for now. My husband and I are working to get all the inventory sorted out, photographed, and carefully wrapped before we put up the new listings this week. I hope that everyone has had a good Easter weekend and I'll have more updates soon!
