Back in the studio!

By Courtney,on July 30th,2011%

Wow,has it ever been hot!

Since our trip we’ve been spending a lot of time in the studio,replenishing stock and sending more pieces to our new stockists from our big trip (yay!)

The lines we’ve been spending the most time working on would be our Plant a Tree series and our Lost and Found Rings. Here are some photos:

The first two photos are of our soon-to-be-released Plant a Tree pieces,featuring deciduous trees! The tree pieces are not yet finished…there is still some clean-up to be done. When finished,these will be necklaces and rings.

The last two photos feature our most recent collection of rings (to be sent off to Glitz Gallery in Winnipeg and to another store in Vancouver).

I like to make jewelry all day

I found this video that was made by the current featured Etsy seller. It pretty much sums up our lives right now!

Pack-men (well,women)

By Courtney,on June 6th,2011%

We’ve been making working hard on making lots of inventory,in preparation for our big trip. In doing this,we have run into a few issues that led us to re-design our packaging.

1. Organization. It is really hard to sort and store loose pieces of jewellery. Labelling pieces and sorting them into bags and boxes is super helpful! It also means it will be easier for us to find everything when we have to take it out again for stores!

2. Tarnishing. Whether on display or in transit,silver tarnishes when exposed to the air! The plastic baggies and the molecule tins make it easy to display the pieces,without having to clean the pieces frequently!

3. Display/branding. On the paper lables,we can put important information about the pieces,such as the name of the collection,a brief description of the concept and,of course,our logo!

We are very pleased with the results!

Painting the roses red!

Painting the enamel on the molecules is the final step in making our drug molecule jewellery. It takes skill and practice to apply the paint accurately! (Tara is a pro)
