The Jabberwocky - Cameo Necklace

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
-The Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll

I've always loved Alice in Wonderland. I love how quirky and fantastic that world is, and I like to draw inspiration from that world when it comes to my style. The deep reds, the striking gold, and the pale ivory of the cameo all come together to make a beautiful piece for anyone's wardrobe, especially a fellow Alice in Wonderland lover.

You can find this necklace on Etsy (clicky link!)

Target Markets and Where to Find Them.

How do you pick a target market? Well, that was a question I've been asking myself for quite some time. Who is my target market? What does my target market want? How do I appeal to my target market? Who is my target market anyway??
The answer was actually very simple: my target market is me. I make the things I like, the things I would wear. So my target market are people just like me! People that love Halloween and spooky goodies.
Finding your target market can be relatively simple if you know who you are and what you want to create. The large majority of my jewelry is made with Halloween-ish iconography, such as skulls and cute spiderwebs. I like darker colors and I prefer cute over scary. Once I pinpointed what i enjoyed making, finding my market was no problem. You have to be able to fill a niche when selling online, and once you find it, run with it.

Product Feature: Spider Skull Bracelet

This sparkly bracelet is available for sale on my Etsy. I'm really proud of the way this bracelet came out, those beads contrast against the charms so well! These beads sparkle inside or out because they're crackled glass. The green beads are bright green and they're pretty big, but not so big that they overpower the spider and skull charms. This is the perfect bracelet for people that like quirky, odd things or people that love dark sparkles!

Available for sale on Etsy!

Your waiting has not been in vain.

I'm working my tail off [I wish I had a tail to work off, alas I am tailless] to get my Etsy and ArtFire shops up and running. They should be up and running smoothly by the middle of February! Very, very exciting. I tried to upload some photos for your viewing pleasure, but unfortunately Blogger and Flickr are not cooperating today. So here's a link to my Flickr. Enjoy!

So many earrings, so little time..

I got a comment a while back about Etsy, and I just wanted to respond to that. Yes, I know about Etsy, and I think it's one of the most beautiful places on the internet. I've been thinking about doing that for awhile now, and I think I may start selling my jewelry on Etsy sometime this summer. Thanks for mentioning it though, Molly Rose, that was very considerate and sweet of you. :)

I just wanted to give some updates on jewelry pieces I've been working on. I've had these pieces for some time now, but I haven't posted them up here so I thought I should. :) I haven't had access to time or a good camera for awhile, and I haven't taken any pictures of my new pieces, but I'm very excited about them. I'll bum a camera off someone soon and get pictures up here for you guys to take a look at.
