Wings And Beads: February 2015

I am late to the gate posting today. This building a line has been really challenging for me as well as the other Artist involved. Some are having problems with what direction to go. Like me they are used to making large glorious pieces, sometimes these artist don't even make earrings. So to now include these items in a line, jussst a little stressful. Some Artist always create tiny delicate jewelry so to make a larger statement piece is a challenge. Brenda broke it down to us their are tiers to our makering. Always good quality, but low tier inexpensive,a middle tier of moderate and top of the line. I started creating and didn't feel like I had chosen enough design elements. Then an Aha moment. Wait, one of my design elements is color. The colors will change according to the season but definately a design element.

Colorizing Bsue Boutique Brass
Now that Aha moment began to help me along. First tier is earrings even though the more decorative the more the price; they are still tier one

These Tiny Tulip bead caps and my wire wrapping make for a pretty and delicate tier one purchase.

These Brass hearts Little larger still delicate cost a bit more at about $15 still tier one.

More Brass and detail these lovelies are still at tier one. Next on my Agenda was Bracelets. I have a couple in mind but I will share one today. It has all my elements, color, sparkle and shine, wings with my humming bird and a Heart. Comes in at Tier 2

Matching Pendants in Spring colors. After all this is the Spring line of Wings and Beads. One of the thoughts that came up in class discussion "Are we creating specialized Branding for our line. For me the answer is yes. I am ordering new biz cards and I have my own jewelry tags being created, OMG I am so excited. I will tell you more abought the packaging in the next hop.
