Primavera!!

Oh what a happy girl I am today!!

Spring is here and although we have snow on the ground, the sun is shining and it is a beautiful day. In celebration of Primavera (spring) I have marked all jewelry down in the Etsy store, just for this weekend. I am working on new pieces to take to the Taos show and won't have much time to keep up the store. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Happy Spring!

You want this done by when???!

We are in the process of putting together a website for our artwork and jewelry and let me know me tell you this is a difficult job and Rob wants it done by April! Researching what company has the best web hosting, making sure everything is secure, it just utterly makes me tired! But, it needs to be done. Rob's artwork is not a common form of artwork on Etsy, people do not know what Spanish colonial artwork is or how to find it and it is quite frustating for him. I started this blog over a year ago and we have met some great fellow artists and friends. It was really started just to update family and friends on all the latest happenings in our lives, both personal and creative.

Sooo, here we go, on to the next chapter of the internet world! We hope you will continue on this journey of learning with us, we so enjoy all of the encouragement and support you continually give to us and we hope to provide a more professional and beautiful way of offering our art. If any of you have any ideas or suggestions we would love to hear from you.

My final intro to silversmithing class is tomorrow night, I will be showing off those funny little pieces I created this weekend! Please try not to laugh too hard, I promise my pieces will get better after the intermediate class!

Til the weekend....

Hello again!

I can't believe we are already in March, where is the time going?! I have been so busy with silversmithing classes and replenishing inventory for the gallery that I have not had much time to post anything new.

We had a great month at the gallery and are now getting our pieces ready for Taos in May. Rob and I are also participating in a show at the gallery called Santos Y Cruces in April. It seems like we have been non-stop for quite a few months now. I am excited to be learning how to work with metal, my next endeavor is torch fired enameling, thanks to Barbara Lewis at Painting with Fire, Rob was even sweet enough to buy me some Mapp gas, she is so thoughtful and inspiring to all that she gives her wisdom of this art to! I will soon show off the pieces I created in class, they are not the best mind you, but it is fun just learning the basics.

This weekend brings the gem show and I hope to get just a few things, keep my budget, yeah right, I'll probably come home with way more than I should!!

Well off to catch up on all the new creations and new in blogland :0)

Almost forgot to mention that I have placed new prices on all bracelets and necklaces. Why? I have had to take a long deep breath and realize that with the economy the way it is, not many folks are wanting to spend a whole lot on little extras for themselves, sooo, bracelets are going to be set at $30 and necklaces will run $48-$60, listing more in the Etsy shop now.
