I have an Eyeshadow Named after me!!!

Ok it's named after my shop, but same thing really. Mrs. Evils of the shop My Pretty Zombie has decided to name an eyeshadow after my shop!!! I am beyond excited!!! It is part of the Darksider Eyeshadow Collection, (named after the Etsy team we belong to Etsy's Dark Team ). And the color is just so, so pretty and sparklie I just love it! It goes on really well too,and stays on a super long time. Honestly I love her eye shadows better than my Smashbox, or Bare Minerals. The colors are true, and stay put all night on your lids. I have been hunting my whole life for a really true red eyeshadow, and to have it made for me by a teammate who could ask for more. So here it is EJPcreations- Darksider eye shadow.

Sarah and Neil's Nuptuals

A bride I have been working with for the better part of last year just had her wedding. I ended up making her floral ornaments, her hair ornament, her necklace, earrings, and bracelet. She just sent me the link to her pictures and they are STUNNING. The photographer was AMAZING I wish she lived closer so I could use her. Here is a sampling of the special day and Punambean's gorgeous pictures. The day just looked so magical! I am so happy for her.

My little necklace goes to an art opening.

Here is the lovely Laurie Hassold at one of her recent art openings. Notice her AMAZING sculpture behind her. It is so beautiful in person, very intricate. Also notice the necklace she is wearing. It's one I made for her a long, long time ago. It's made of forged silver in an African motif. All three of them go so well together.

The Airship Couple

This has to be my favorite couple on the planet. They are both amazingly talented models among other things, and were sweet enough to show me the pictures from the photo shoot they took with the choker they purchased from me. Don't they look adorable together. I just love the persona's they have made for themselves!

Modeling my Wares

Look what I ran across one day on the net. A very good customer of mine bought this choker, and was sweet enough to loan it to a friend of hers. That friend happens to be the gorgeous model Adrian Louise's and wore it for this photo shoot. It looks so pretty on her. And the way the picture is taken it looks so modern, not Gothic Victorian at all. I just love seeing what other people can do with the things I make.

Off to the Ball

I give you the very lovely, and talented Suzanne. She commissioned these pieces to accent her gorgeous gown, which she customized herself, to go to the Dickens Ball. An account of the evening can be read on her blog, as well as how she altered her dress. Her latest Victorian steampunk novel will be released next year, and I can't wait to read it.

Appreciation Photos

One of my favorite things in the world is when customers send me appreciation photos. The greatest complement is actually seeing the things I make worn by their owners. The first picture is of a customer who contacted me in a panic because she needed something special to wear to a military ball with her husband. I actually had to overnight express a couple of pieces to her, and she just looks lovely with the choker on. The second is a fellow Etsy seller,Crimsonvision who custom ordered a tiara from me with red crystals. I just love her fangs! They are gorgeous!

The Sweetest Couple

I just love it when I find pictures of people wearing my items on the web. Here is the sweetest pictures of the cutest couple I have ever seen. The bride commissioned me to make her a lovely little pair of clock hand earrings with a little red crystal drop at the end. They just look so adorable on her.

A Flower Darkly…

Another wedding commission is completed, and I am exhausted! The bride to be came up with the best idea. She wanted me to make floral ornaments for her, and her bridesmaid’s bouquets. The idea popped into her head when she saw my hair sticks and we ran with it from there. Designing exactly the right ornaments to accent her wedding theme, and dress. I just love what we came up with. They have a quality reminiscent of a lotus blossom opening, but in a really noir mechanized world. I hope she sends me pictures of the event; I can’t wait to see what it looks like all together.

The Necklaces Night Out

Presenting Laurie Hassold wearing the necklace I created for her. She is graciously taking a moment out of her busy night at the opening of “All Gurlz Again” showing at Eclectix Gallery. Standing in front of her sculpture, which was the inspiration for the neck ornament. I am so glad she liked it, and the two pieces really look nice together.

Boutonnières Anyone?!?

I just finished making my first Boutonnières!!! I am so excited about them. The bride also ordered a suite of jewelry to go along with it including tiara, and earrings. These are to be worn at her summer teatime event. It sounds so lovely; I hope she sends me pictures. I want to see what the wedding party looks like so bad!!

Lex-A-Licious

A couple of months ago the most amazing photographer contacted me, Lex Machina. She wanted to use some of my accessories in an up coming shoot she had scheduled. After reviewing her work I jumped at the chance! Her vision is amazing, and I am stunned with the images she produced. The treatment she gave the photo, and the background is just breathtaking!

Well…I Was Sort of In a Print Magazine…

I just love this necklace. It took me so long to make. The designing alone took me at least a month and a half. What I wanted to do was resonate the feeling of Laurie Hassold's sculptures without mimicking them too much. Just a whisper of the essence of them. She wanted something very unique, and eye catching to wear to art openings and other various art functions. Once I finally got the design down the intricacy of it had me sawing and filing the sterling silver sheet at the jeweler's bench for at least another month. Then after that it was riveting the little beauty together, oxidizing, and then finally working on the chain. The chain turned out to be the hardest part of the piece. It went through so many different versions until I braved this design. So the piece was finished, and Laurie was VERY pleased. Then she notified me that she had worn it to the photo shoot for an article on her work in Art LTD. Magazine. I couldn't be more thrilled!!! So see just like I said I was sort of featured in a print magazine. My necklace was there promanate so everyone could see blazing from it's pages.... AWwwww.. Come on I think it counts! In any case Laurie looks beautiful in the pictures, and the necklace looks very at home with her sculptures.
