Lost and then found

I came into work this morning and was helping to clean up the space where we had our Art Hop party on Friday night whenI found my missing necklace crumpled up like a piece of trash on a table in the back of the room.  I have no idea if it was a small child who had taken it off the display and just left it back there or if someone had indeed stolen it and returned it on Saturday, but I am just grateful to have it back.  It isn't broken but it will need to be repaired.  I am happy to have it back but really bummed that it was treated like a piece of garbage.  Shame on you if you actually tried to steal it.  Artists put in a lot of time and energy into creating work for this show.  If it wasn't intentional  and was a small child who was just curious - let this be a reminder to parents to be more careful with your children at Art events.  It was very upsetting for me to have thought I lost it, but to have found it in the condition it was in hurts just as much.

At any rate I am happy to have it and will be putting it up for sale on my site as soon as I get it fixed.

Thank you all for the wonderful support you gave me by spreading the word.

Help me catch a thief

Hey Burlington! Have you seen this necklace?

It was stolen from my Art Hop display at Burton Snowboards on Friday 9/10 during our opening reception party.  We put on a great party with food and live music, drinks and lots of good art.  Someone decided that wasn't enough and took it upon themselves to steal this necklace right off of my display.  For so many reasons that is just lame.  I only made one of these so if you happen to see it around town on someone - it is a stolen piece of merchandise.  I just want the necklace returned.  If you know who has it please leave an anonymous comment and let me know.

thanks

Sneak Peak

I have been busy thinking up some new designs for a collection which will be featured in the 2010 South End Art Hop here in Burlington. My work will be on display at the Burton Snowboards employee art show called 77 Reasons during the art hop. Opening reception is Friday September 10th.

In addition to working on my line of fiber accessories called Tessuto I have also been playing with vintage chain. Here is a sneak piece from my upcoming vintage chain collection called Vincenza.

New Products

I have been busy stocking up on inventory for the Queen City Craft Bazaar. Here is a sneak peak at some of the new products I will have at the show.

News

Two bits of good news:

1. I was recently accepted into the Women's Festival of Crafts. The now three day event will be at City Hall in Burlington VT November 27-29th. This will be my third year doing this show and I am very excited they have extended the days. The show will now open on Friday November 27th from 5-9pm and then all day Saturday the 28th and Sunday the 29th.

2. Trinket on Church Street in Burlington has sold out of my fabric necklaces. I will be dropping off more in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

fabric and fiber

Tessuto is Italian for fabric. Fabric is not only a cloth produced by knitting, weaving, or felting fibers, but it also means a style or method of construction. To me it was the perfect name for my new line of accessories constructed using various types of fabrics and fibers.

Now selling at Trinket! Some products from my new Tessuto line are now available at Trinket 32 1/2 Church St, Burlington VT.

Trinket

Trinket is a new store located at 32 1/2 Church St (on the top block) in Burlington VT. Rachel Strules (owner of Sweet Lady Jane and Tribeca) decided to open this accessory only store in February of 2009.
I am proud to announce that products from my new Fabric and Fiber line of scarves and necklaces are now being sold at Trinket. Trinket also sells a lot of work from other local artists. Stop in on the top block of Church Street next time you are in town.

Fabric Necklaces

I have combined my love of jewelry with my love of fabrics and started making some fabric necklaces. Fabric necklaces can be worn long, they can be worn short, they can be worn as a necklace, accessory, or even a scarf by triple wrapping it around your neck. I have two styles and colors in my shop now. One version is made from 16 loops of fabric and the other is a lighter version with only 6 loops. Both styles are super versatile and can be worn in many ways. Keep your eyes peeled for more types of fabric necklaces in my shop as I continue to experiment with different materials.

Check out all the styles and colors in my online shop.

Shop update

Lots of new stuff in my shop!

Reusable Errand Bags

We all know we should be using reusable bags when we go to the grocery store. If you are like me you own the big sturdy kind that can hold lots of heavy food items. But what about when you go into the drug store, or one of the box stores to just pick up a few light items. I don't think to bring in my big rugged food shopping bags just to go pick up a new pair of socks. A lighter weight small bag is what you need. Introducing my new line of reusable errand bags made from recycled t-shirts. Making reusable bags from t-shirts is not a new idea. There are tutorials for how to do it all over the Internet. What makes them unique are the types of t-shirts you use. I have several new bags I will be selling at the Queen City Craft Bazaar on May 9th. I may throw a few up in my Etsy shop soon as well.

New Shop!

I just finished a big update on my website. I have decided to try selling directly from my site and so I have decided to temporarily close down my Etsy shop. All of my handmade jewelery can now be purchased directly from www.subsixstudios.com. It also serves as a central place to find out about Barefoot Books and I am happy to announce the addition of the Oddments section. This new section will feature treasures I find and make available to you.

New in Shop

New in my Etsy Shop today.

These little lovely recrafted earrings. The pendents were recycled from a found necklace and reused to make these crackled plastic pendent earrings.

Did I mention there is free shipping on all earrings?
