Pictures at last!

Thank goodness for great friends! I borrowed a fabulous camera from friends of ours this weekend (thanks Bryan and Sunny) and finally got a chance to play around with taking photos. I've never been one for taking good pictures, so I let my husband, mom, and dad all create their own "prop sets" and take pics for me. Then I got to go through all the pictures and filter out the good from the bad. I took the first 100 or so outside in the morning with Jasmine, my little girl, helping me and the rest of the day I let everyone else give it a shot. The majority of the pics were of my 1st tutorial, Raindrop Pendant, and I have so many to go through now. I haven't quite narrowed down what prop set I like the best, because there's a lot of really good ones everyone took. So, for right now I'm not posting any of those. My mom did setup a great set for a mosaic bracelet that I created during a class I took at Fusion Beads with CR Radding a few months back. I'm really proud of this bracelet and wanted to show it off. Check back soon to see other pics I'll be posting over the next week.

Front Cover

Here is the front cover I put together for my first jewelry tutorial. I know it doesn't have a pic of the jewelry piece itself, but at least you get an idea of the look and feel of what I am wanting to do. I hope to take pics next week sometime - I am borrowing a pro camera from a friend and having her help me take my first pics.

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my brand spankin' new blog! I am currently in the process of creating my first jewelry tutorial, Raindrop, that will be for sale shortly in my etsy shop - piecesofve.etsy.com. This is my first time blogging and I'm quite excited about all of the things I can do with this blog. My ultimate goal is to get several tutorials up for sale in my etsy shop, have my lovely hubbie (he's a very talented web/graphic designer) make me a rockin' website - piecesofve.com (like you couldn't guess!!), and blog weekly on this new blog I just created to track my accomplishments. Hope you enjoy watching me learn and create as I venture into the world of blogging and selling on etsy.
