Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

Gone Kayaking
  Over the last few months, my product photography has been undergoing a metamorphosis. While I do still really like the crisp white backgrounds, I was beginning to feel like they were a tad on the boring side (boring to shoot, anyway) and that I wanted to try my hand at more varied backgrounds and using props. I've been so pleased with the outcome that I can definitely see a clear direction for where things are going!

The Little Red Hen

My photography style isn't the only thing that's changing. For those of you who have been following fairly regularly, you may be noticing that most of the newer pieces I'm offering are slightly more detailed and sometimes more personal. I'm also introducing more sterling silver!

Sterling Silver Chain Upgrade
Right now, an upgrade to a sterling chain is just that: an upgrade. Over the course of the next few months, though, expect to see a transition into all silver pieces coming with sterling chains. Yes, this will mean a small increase in the price, but it will mean a significant increase in quality and that is what's most important here.

For the last couple of years (wow, couple? Can you believe it's almost been 2 years?! YAY!) I've offered a wide variety of designs over and over again. This will be changing starting in May. There are a few designs I will continue to make over and over again (because I am madly in love with them!), but basically from here on out, there won't ever be more than 1-3 of any given design made. Mostly, they will be completely one of a kind. Some will be offered on my Etsy shop, and others only on my website. Don't worry, it will be easy to figure out where to find things since I post all new items to my facebook page with a link to get to them!

I'm really excited about this because I already feel that these little paintings are super unique, but now there will be that added Factor of Specialness that comes with having a completely unique piece of artwork all for yourself!

I hope you are all as excited for all of these changes as I am! Wahoo!!

  1. Awesome!! I like the sound of having an original miniature painting all to oneself. Also, way to go on the sterling silver! :D

  2. I remember going to buy the beautiful bound letters piece on Valentine's and being so disappointed to see it had sold. Yet almost immediately I felt satisfied that it had likely gone to someone who adored it, and instead of missing out, I had openned the opportunity for something different for myself in the future. I love the idea that your pendants are unique art!
