Gallery Tonight!

by Barbara E Jones on September 9, 2011

Tonight’s the night!  It’s a small gallery, but a big step for me… It’s my first forum outside my own little world. Up until now I have sold jewelry on my web store, at open houses (I booked and ran), but tonight I am in a retail setting that is totally new to me. I am excited and a little nervous, although I have sold a piece already! How I wish my husband were here to share this with me. He would be so pumped.  As a salesman he understood this world of retail much better than I,  and with his personality and charm, handled it with ease.  This one’s for you dear…

I am a relatively new jeweler, starting BR-Adornments just shy of 3 years ago as a part time business. I became a widow at the age of 49 in December 2009. After spending all my married life as a full time mother of 3, I found it nesessary to kick my jewelry business into high gear. I began by taking classes locally, then entered a year long course at Penn Foster School of Jewelry Design and Repair. In addition I have studied under Wire jewelry indrustry leader -Dale Cougar Armstrong. I am a member of the local art Gallery- Gallery East, a co-op of 40 plus local artists, and have another blog -jewelryenthusiast- at WordPress.

I’m in the Gallery!

Rutilated Quartz Surprise

 

 

  I received a call last Wednesday inviting me (my company) to join the 40 plus artists at Gallery East!  After my initial shock and awe, I realized not only do I have a fundraiser this month at my son’s school (my company is supplying the jewelry) but I have a jewelry show in 4 weeks! So I am working feverishly to create fabulous pieces for two large events and one fundraiser… when it rains- it pours!  I am so pleased to be counted among the artists at the gallery. I have seen their work and they are a talented group. It is an honor. 

So, goodbye sleep. Goodbye social life. Hello heaps of blessings. .. It’s OK, I’ll rest after the Holiday rush.. sometime in January.

So I am feverishly selecting/designing pieces I feel represent my style of wire wrapping. It’s exciting, and […]
