Luna's Beauties

Luna and Sergio work at C&P coffee in West Seattle, and they'll be married in Hawaii in a few weeks. I've loved this quaint coffee shop on California Ave for quite some time, but over the last few months I have adored it and spent many an hour in the back yard sipping iced lattes, reading, hanging out with Luka (my 2 month daughter) and making jewelry. As I was making the jewelry for Danielle (see last post) Luna asked about a pair for her up coming wedding in Hawaii. Here's what I created for her. They are very similar to the ones I made for Danielle, except they are just a smidge shorter, about 2".

JEWELS, for Danielle and her ladies.

Danielle and Frank were married August 15th, 2008. Her wedding went from a fairly casual to an all out classic gorgeous wedding.... with a little more "fancy" than originally thought. Her jewelry shows that transformation. Originally we were going to make some initial pendants for the girls to wear, then as things evolved it didn't quite fit with the feeling or match their dresses. In the end we decided on pearls, stones and crystals. They are SO lovely!

Necklaces for the bridesmaids.

The set of earrings and necklace for the bridesmaids.

And a stunning pair of long, chin skimming earrings for the Bride.

Congratulations Danielle and Frank! All the best to you!

New Work! lovely little ditty!

Check out this new set of Gems! Mary and her fiancee Mark are getting married this weekend... April 26th! Mark is a graphic designer. He created a logo for their wedding and we incorporated it into some jewels for Mary, her maid of honor, her sister and sister-in-law AND Mark. I hope they love these as much as I do. 

I've got to get to work making some of these for ME!

This is one of 2 matching circles cut from the same band of silver. 

The other is on the brides necklace.

Missing from these detail photos of the maid of honors necklace 

is the logo which is embedded in resin. 

It dangles from the clasp down her back.SEXY!

This is the necklace designed for the sisters. 

It is a representation of the logo Mark designed using metal. 

Using different levels of sand paper I was able to 

create the same visual look of the graphic.

Cuff links for Mark... using his design!

I wish Mark and Mary all the love in the world. 

May your marriage be full of love, compassion, giggles and never ending growth.

Thanks for asking me to help make this day special for you.

Wedding show a SUCCESS!

Hey Friends- I have not posted since October? Crazy! I've been a busy bee lately. The wedding show went off last weekend without a hitch. We had a blast and everyone seemed to love the new line of work. Here's some photos of the booth and a few of the jewels we had on display. I can't say thank you enough to those that helped. Leah, Erin, Rachelle, Amy, Lea, and Dan, you are the best! This NEVER would have happened with out you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, and I love you.
I've posted some of the samples on my etsy account (www.rebekahj.etsy.com) if any of you are interested in purchasing any of the lovley jewels that we had at the show. The samples are for sale at a discounted rate of $45!! This sample to the left is called "Love Birds". Over the last few months I've grown interested in collaborating with other artists and using their art within my work. The "Love Birds" is made using art crafted by Chelsea Sevorg, the "Birdnerd" as she's called on Etsy. She hails from the San Francisco area... and I've gone gaga over her small bird portraits made from assorted papers. Some of them even made using vintage wall paper! ya!
I've also started a collection of lovely little necklaces that are reminiscent of the pieces I made for my own bridesmaids. The circles are all hand fabricated and soldered together in small clusters. Each one is then embellished with little gems. This one has a variety of black and blue stones. The stones are and tied, and then attached to the chain. Everyone of these necklaces is one of a kind and will only set you back $100!

Check out my Etsy account for new stuff!

Happy Saturday!

Ta-ta for now.

So I have been a crazy blogger lately and have been loving quite a few blogs! http://www.decor8.blogspot.com/ is my most favorite place to looks for new and exciting stuff. Holly has a great sense of design, sometimes I feel like she's in my head... loving the same stuff I love. She has been a great help for me as I tried to locate some items I saw on my European travels. Her great, loyal internet hunters found just the item I was looking for... now if only I could afford the shipping!

So in all my blogging I felt that I was not completely part of the crowd, until now no one was able to purchase any of my goods online.... well...drum roll please.... now you can! I will slowly be adding my jewels on there as I can photograph them and think of something cute to say.



Yay!

In other news I am feverishly working on the booth for the Seattle Wedding Show.
There is only about 2 months to go! AHHH! But as of this last week I feel much better about my progress. I hope to be building the framework tomorrow. I hope to post some pictures in the next few days.

Launch Party was a SUCCESS!

The celebration for the launch of the web site was a hit! Everyone had a great time. DJ W3... played fabulously and set the mood. The Bartender, Rachelle, was serving up the drinks and on top of the whole night like a champ. All the while with a purty smile on her face. The rest of the staff also helped tremendously. Peter and crew... thanks!

The jewelry was loved, and the buttons were a great idea, thanks Gordon and Dana for your ideas. Also thanks to Dan, My husband for getting me through the last month. Your patience and your ideas really allowed this night to happen. I love you. Amy, Erin, Leah, Rachelle, Dana and Nicole.. you guys are troopers! These kids came over any night they could to help me with last minute details, I never would have been able to make it if it weren't for my fab. staff. Erin, Leah, Rachelle and Amy manned the tables and kept accurate track of the jewelry sales, and were awesome sales women. You guys are the best! I never got a head count but the mezzanine was packed for the majority of the night. Thanks to everyone for coming down, making some purchases, and for all the wearing of my jewels that you will do in the future! I need you guys to get my name out there!

Check out some of the great photos from the evening.
