Studs + The photo project.

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

This post feels like sitting down for coffee with a good friend I haven’t seen in a while…

Available: $69

With the new shop, the new website and store launch (coming soon), new before & after shots, loads of new designs, and b & i being featured on a national television show—Model Latina NYC: Season 3 (airs on August 2nd)—there’s so much to tell!

Deep breath, people.

Let’s start with a glimpse into just a *few* of the new designs I’ve been cranking out:

These are still part of the collaboration between Isaac and me; we continue to sell many, but we keep adding new designs and we’re adding these to our online shops very soon!  If you see any that you want to snatch up, feel free to email me and put in a request.

And introducing, the STUDS:

More to come, my friends.  So much more…

I took these photos of one of my favorite necklaces in the Old Turns New collection, before I handed it over to Thea at Thea’s Interiors on NW Glisan (in Portland).

This one is available exclusively at Thea’s Interiors, vintage living, unless someone hasn’t already snatched it up!

Isaac and I plan on listing our new collaboration in our online shops soon.  Yowzers.  Also, I think I about owe you a new OOTD.  Look out for it all some time this week.

In the meantime, skip the song of the moment and go get the whole album; it’s off the heeeeezy.  wildly inspiring.  gets my fingers moving.

A perfect match.

Isaac and I debuted our collaboration at Crafty Wonderland last weekend.  It was a huge hit.  I’ll be selling more of the pieces this weekend at the St. Johns Bizarre (tomorrow in SJ from 10am to 6pm)!

To entice you:

proud new owner

I hope you’ll stop by the booth tomorrow and say hello!

Happy early Mother’s Day (especially to my sweet mama)!

Please excuse the web cam pictures, but I’m SO excited about these new pieces — I had to show them to you right away!  New collaboration with Isaac, lots of metal studs, and ancient african trade beads.  yum. It’s going to be hard for me to let these go.

Find them at Power of the Purse on Friday evening (yes, tomorrow)…(Dionne Warwick will be singing) and Crafty Wonderland on Saturday and Sunday!!
