Every once in awhile I should probably update you on new pretties coming out of the studio.

So without further ado…

I introduce you to….

the hand stamped personalized ring with accompanying beaded band. A perfect ring for renewing your vows. Or what about leaving off the “again” and using it as a promise ring? So many possibilities!





I love these….I think I just might wear them everyday!
But then again…I might wear these instead. I love the color of fired copper. Dee-LISH!

 So what’s your favorite? Or what would YOU like to see? Do you have an outfit that is impossible to find jewelry for? I’m up for the challenge! Let me at it!


BE creative!

If I had a Million Dollars

by

Yesterday, my oldest daughter Anneke worked diligently by my side in my studio. She asked me, possibly flippantly, “is there anything I can do mom?”. Having her taught her basic wire working years ago…and being in a somewhat desperate state…I took the opportunity to say PLEAD, “yes please”!

Not only was she extremely helpful, it was so awesome to have her by my side. We laughed…we talked…we sang country music and Christmas carols…nice. She and I can be very alike, but also VERY different. When I am working, or diligent at any task for that matter, I don’t talk much…AT ALL. She, very much like her father, has a lot of…shall we say verbal-isms? She talks non-stop! But I was entertained…most of the time!

The very best part of our 8 hours or so together was when she asked me what I would do with a MILLION DOLLARS!! Before I could answer she told me if SHE had a million dollars she would spend it on ME! Yes….seriously!

I said “really? What would you buy me?”

Her answer….

  • a new bigger studio, with lots of room to spread out – (so we could keep working together) and a separate space for your noisy tumbler.
  • any and all the fancy tools I could want and desire
  • an iPhone WITH a 2 year contract
  • an iPad (cause she rocks like that)
  • a ranch…complete with horses…so the two of us could ride.
  • and a trip to Tahiti (my dream vacation)

Now, is it me? Or is that pretty freakin awesome?
Every second I have doubted myself as a mother, was erased in that single moment. I have an almost 14 year old that actually {gulp} LIKES me and enjoys spending time with me!


So don’t mind me, I am just going to sit and enjoy this moment for awhile. And begin packing for my vacation.


I love you Anneke!


Where has thebeadgirl disappeared to?

by

I’m here…but I’m buried! Which is a very good thing…and I am NOT complaining. But until I hire someone or many someones, each and every piece of jewelry goes from my hands to yours.

Therefore my studio looks a little like this:
“Order board”…these are in my next “to do” set!
Measuring, cutting, checking my drawings…
 Empty earring trees 🙁 aren’t they sad?
 Earring components and little message tokens ready for the FIRE!

But stay tuned…I have some amazing specials for Black Friday and Cyber Monday…but you are going to want to become a Facebook Fan of StudioJewel…they always know the “good stuff” first!
