Busy in the Studio

After leaving my studio to its own devices for 8 months, I finally have dug it out, organized it and have it at a point where it is functional. Hallelujah!!

That said, I've been busy. Here's some proof for you:

Working on putting some new designs on YazBerry cards. Many varieties of simple semi-precious stones, some glass drops and some bamboo coral. Prices to be determined. Message me if you would like to purchase anything. Thank you.

Attempting to organize my always chaotic studio. I found some heavy stemmed glasses at a thrift shop and am using them to sort tools. This is an ongoing challenge for me...organized chaos; I'm not messy I'm creative.

Finished wrapping a large custom order. Now I just need to purchase some more supplies to finish.

Finished my prototype for my Benjamin Franklin Kite necklace. I am very happy with this and will be making a series of these where each is a one of a kind. Price to be determined.

Want more content like this? I have been really enjoying using Instagram recently and post a couple images a day most days. I had no idea this was a good website fit for me interest-wise but have really been inspired by seeing great photos of life all over the world, every day. Follow me on Instagram yazberryfashion.

Oh insomnia my familiar friend. The large amount of rain failing through the pipe outside my window has me awake and staring at the wall. Good thing my walls are loaded with interesting stuff.

I've been tweeting for a few years now but mostly YazBerry related stuff. In an attempt at soul searching and figuring out what it is that makes me tick this past winter, it occurred to me that I read A LOT of articles online daily. I enjoy cruising my facebook feed for interesting articles friends post and also all of the news sources I follow. I started tweeting links to the things I read, to take a pulse on what interests me. Deep down I think I am hoping it will inspire a career shift and focus.

I love making things, but I also need to make a living. I am hoping it will help me hone in on something that allows both jointly. 

In a further layer of soul searching, I've given myself permission to experiment with instagram. To see what visually makes me tick and how I spend my day. I am a very private person and don't often invite people into my home - in which I am the boss of every creative detail! I also don't like to overshare on the internet (shockingly I have experienced stalkers in the past...wtf I know). 

All of this said, if you would like a more intimate look into what makes this creative person tick, please, I invite you to follow me on Instagram & Twitter and as always, thank you for your continued support.
