Sneak peek at some new handmade jewelry

7 November 2007 - by Simone

Over the weekend I once again spent lots and lots of time at my work bench, a fair bit of which was pinning down and completing some new designs - but as usual I spent some time catching up on making existing pieces as well.

New and existing partially complete jewellery components.

… And today I’ve spent a chunk of time taking a whopping 370 photographs of completed new work.

I now need to sift through the images and delete those which are clearly no good. And then it’s a matter of opening them all up in Photoshop in batches, choosing the best variations for each piece and editing them ready for listing, before finally calculating pricing for the pieces and writing descriptions. Once all that is done, finally I can list them.

Which goes to show that creating new work is about a lot more than just creating new work!

Once I’ve edited the images I’ll post some of them here to give you a better sneak peak of what’s about to be listed in my jewellery shop.
