Etsy wednesday - Green green green ... pastel green all around

NEW items in my Etsy shop!

 

@ work - figuring out presentation

@ work - getting ready for some designer markets

I was already stressing this week because the Kwak-exhibition (which was great, thank you all for coming!) is only just finished and I'm already thinking about the next event. My very first designer-market is coming up and I only got a few weeks to prepare and create enough stock. But then I got confirmation for another one! Which is GREAT but means less time to prepare and more stock to make (and more stress but also some excitement of course).

Thinking about presentation, pricing, and selecting what to sell ...

Etsy Wednesday - yellow chevron necklace

re-used picture frame turned into necklace

wood and aged brasschain

two possible lengths: 55cm (= 21in) or 80cm (= 31in) check the last picture for reference

the smaller version also has a round clasp.

This necklace is handmade out of an old picture frame; 

The wooden piece is sawn, sanded and painted by hand

Each piece is hand-cut and hand-painted so slight imperfections might be possible, but this also means that every piece is completly unique!

These pieces are not completely waterproof so please handle with care.

Etsy Wednesday - A balancing act between red and gold

Etsy wednesday - new items in the shop!

 

 

So I've been working on a few more pieces for my Etsy shop. All these items are made out of the same reclaimed wooden picture frame. And there will follow more from that; the wood is still not all gone.

Ik heb wat gewerkt aan nieuwe stuks voor mijn Etsy-shop. Al deze stuks zijn gemaakt uit het hout van één en dezelfde oude fotokader. En er zullen nog stuks volgen want de fotokader is nog niet helemaal opgebruikt ;)

DIY - leather chevron necklace

Some of the necklaces in my shop are chevron necklaces; the V-shape as a pendant. They are made from recycled wood. Here I'm gonna show you an easy and fast way to make a lightweight leather chevron necklace for yourself.

Sommige van de halskettingen in mijn Etsy-shop zijn chevron-halskettingen; met een V-vorm als hanger. Hier ga ik jullie nu tonen hoe makkelijk en snel een lederen-chevron-halsketting te maken voor jezelf.

Etsy school program - Photography

So, last week (or more almost tree weeks ago already) the theme of Etsy School Program was Photography. And yesterday I finally saw the chance to work on it!

For now I wanted to work on the 'in context' photos, first I wanted to shoot all my pieces on person
but I realised since all my pieces are One-Of-A-Kind or very limited edition this wasn't a very good idea. So there came the idea of the clothes hanger.

Vorige week (eerder al twee weken geleden ondertussen) het thema van de Etsy School Program was fotografie.En gisteren zag ik eindelijk de kans hieraan te werken. Voor nu wou ik voornamelijk de stuks 'in context' tonen om zo een beter zicht op grote / formaat / kleur / afwerking / ... duidelijk te maken.
