I've been putting a lot of thought in my presentation. Shop handmade is filled to the brim with so many wonderful interesting things from different artists that I felt the need to stand out quietly. I went to the shop a couple of times and with Rachel's permission, I took a lot of photos to survey on how other people display their jewelry in the tiny space they've been given.
Just like my last jewelry party, Greg is responsible to make my jewelry display. I drew some sketches of what I want then Greg and I discuss about the practicality side of things. The final result was something pretty similar to my sketch. Originally he was trying to make the frame in magnet so that I can re-arrange my jewelry however I want- but that idea didn't last for long.
I did a lot of paperwork on my side. I design my own name card using Illustrator, print and cut them with my trimmer.
I focused a lot on earrings- since I make most of them than anything else. I have 3 different size earring holder and to be honest, I don't really know what to do about the necklaces and bracelet until now. :p
My little blurb with Rachel in the shop about packaging a product encouraged me to go ahead with my idea of making origami envelopes using interesting papers. I really love digital paper products on Etsy so I browse around for a suitable pattern. I print them on my printer on normal A4 paper, and I went ahead and spent a couple of hours in front of the tv folding envelopes. I have to thank (out of all people) my pastor, Chris for teaching me the art of folding these pretty envelopes.
On Friday morning I went to drop off my preciousness to shop handmade. Julie and Rachel was there and thankfully they were very impressed with everything. My lease starts on the 1st of Oct till the end of December- I can't wait to see my things in action inside the shop soon!
