Not for the shy. I knew when making this earring it was going to be either really cool or really tacky. I believe it's the wearer that pulls it off. Someone with confidence and forward style!

Banana Camp was a lot work buuuut a lot of fun! Great exposure, got to show and sell and talk about my work to the public, something that I haven't had the opportunity to do in a while. :D Much thanks to Vicki for all her organization and the Owners of Songkla, Thanh and Tung for all their hard work and the opportunity. :) There was a lot of people, a mini-bar and great music! A great way to spend a friday night.
The show is still up and running, including My Cherry Blossom sculptural necklace at Songkla (inbetween 6th and 7th ave SW off of 17th ave downtown in Calgary, AB, Canada) until May1st! Do take a look if you are in downtown Calgary. :)
Some new earrings I've made and listed on Etsy :) enjoy!

Two of my earrings will be up for Silent Auction for Charity at: Khubsurat 2009 - South Asian Bridal and Lifestyle Show. Sunday March 22, 11-5pm, Calgary, AB, Canada I am donating two hoop style earrings for the Silent Auction in support of the "Little Angels School," Mumbai, India. It is a school for Special Needs children and offers academic and lifestyle/vocational training. It is a NGO school that runs solely on donations. The funds raised will be directed towards an expansion to the school, a center that gives the kids training to become more independent based on their needs. Their website: http://www.littleangelsindia.com I'm including photos and descriptions of the items to spark interest for those who might be thinking of going to the event or know someone who might be interested!
The first pair are large hoops (925 sterling silver earwire), featuring tumbled Amazonite and opal/mint Swarovski bicone crystals.
(same design as in this photo, but will be in gold not silver) The second set of earrings are medium sized gold hoops (14 kt gold plated earwire), featuring round tiger's eye beads and navy blue/brown Swarovski bicone crystals. Cheers, Rozzie :) http://www.rozzie.etsy.com http://www.rosalind.fotki.com

| New GLAM earrings I made for a friend |
[Feb. 17th, 2009|12:42 am] |
One of my girlfriends heard I made jewelry and commissioned me to make a pair for her. The only guidelines were that she prefers gold hardware and wide style earrings. She loves to dress up, so I went for a more glam attention getting pair than my usual stuff. :) I love when friends help me get inspired!
Swarovski Crystal components, two small turquoise stones, 14 kt gold plated metals.

| Update on My Online stores |
[Feb. 12th, 2009|05:30 am] |
As many of you know, I've been trying to sell on Etsy for a while now, and putting a lot of time and effort particularly since last fall! It's been a challenging path, as I didn't sell a thing in January (although spent the most hours promoting) ever. The influx of jewelry sellers and stores has really gotten to me lately too, that with their search function, the latest will show up first, and so it promotes re-newing items more frequently (0.20 usd each time). The bills add up, as one wants to renew frequently to stay at the top of the pile... if you don't you get buried very fast as everyone else is listing new jewelry items. You could be on page 100 in a matter of tw days in the earrings section. I had my biggest bill ever in etsy just experimenting with the re-newing for January.
I signed up for artfire today! rozzie.artfire.com The founder of Artfire sent me a twitter message cool hey! twitter.com/ArtFireJohn. They charge $7/month for a paid account which let's you post unlimited # of listings, but if you want a free account, you are limited to 10 listings. I joined with a free account so far just to try it out and check out the community.

| Effective Twittering! |
[Feb. 1st, 2009|04:54 am] |
I'm pretty new to the web community "Twitter". My page on there is twitter.com/cherrieblossoms, feel free to add me and I will probably add you as well! :D I like making new twitter comrades. For those who are unfamiliar with the site, it's a community where people read and post 'status updates' and communicate to each other and learn about others this way.
I just found out some great tips for Twitter ettiquite. These tips will really help me with 'effective twittering" as previously I have a fairly vague idea of the purpose of Twitter. jamesrdickey.com/2008/12/the-ten-commandments-of-twitter/ . Hope that gives other Twitter n00bs some guidence as it has for me.

| Google and Google Analytics |
[Jan. 31st, 2009|06:24 am] |
Have you guys ever google'ed your name to see what comes up? It's important when building your brand that you 'exsist' on the inter-webs. Key word searches are a popular way for people to find things on the net.
When I google "Rozzie," my etsy site is the first to show up *cheers*. Searching my full name brings up my personal dot com as well. I suppose it would bring other people with the same names as me to my site, cuz who else really is going to google "Rozzie"? haha.
If any of you guys have your own websites too, you should try out Google Analytics. Etsy has a feature where you can set it up for your store site, and it's brought back some really interesting info on visitors such as: what countries people are from, how long, what time of day, what pages are most popular, referral sites, bounce rate etc. I've been using it with my Etsy since January 10th. Apparently 50% of my Etsy site visitors are from the US, 36% from Canada (the rest from other places in the world). However the average time on my site for Americans is 1:54 min, while for Canadians it's 14:56 min! :D |

On Etsy (the site I sell my jewelry on, it's like an ebay for handmade goods), there is this thing called "Treasuries" which is where people are curators. They grab a collection of 12 items for their 'show room', often with an underlying theme. Etsy selects treasuries they enjoy to appear on the front page of their website.
I was so happy to wake up this morning to find out someone selected one of my items for their Treasury! Getting noticed on Etsy has been one of my primary jewelry goals, and it makes me feel more motivated to keep going. The theme of this Treasury was "Pink meets Purple", featuring my Fuscia Bow Earrings. Treasuries are live for two days, so here's a screenshot that will last forever. :) Click to view larger image.
