Project Backlog

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 3, 2008, 10:15 AM
Finally, after a very slow month of May, I'm getting back to my list of projects. In an effort to organize my thoughts, here's a short to-do list, which I may add to from time to time as I remember things that need to be on here. I don't expect this to make sense to anyone but myself...

Actual projects for other people:

DONE -- repair A Touch of Carnelian for Poe
DONE -- extend Red Red Roses
DONE -- Gwen's garnets (42 little marquise cut pieces of heaven!)
DONE -- concept piece for broken carnelian diamond
DONE -- earrings for DonaIvanova (massively overdue from her birthday)
-- chain mail commission for the Minx

Concepts to organize and implement:

-- Steampunk...need gears and other bits
-- Pantheon themed pieces (Greek, Egyptian)
-- "Endless" pieces (set concept)
-- Digital pieces...whittle down collection of computer parts

And I have a whole long list of other ideas and maybes to work through, but this will do for now. Hopefully I'm not missing any commissions...

Well then, I'm doubly flattered that you added me. I try to be fairly selective as well, just because I don't get a lot of time during my day to admire the pretties that appear in the community, but yours was just too much fun and inspiration to resist. I hope when I get around to adding more pieces to my gallery you continue to enjoy them! =)
~clockwork-zero:iconclockwork-zero: May 23, 2008, 11:23:48 AM
Wow thank you :D
I hate to say this but I'm going to get super picky about who i watch since I just added far too many when i joined. its crazy... but i like your work :D

I'm quite flattered by the return watch really! =)

I love almost everything in your gallery, which is why I just jumped straight to a watch instead of trying to fav _everything_ all at once. I'm really hoping to try some steampunk pieces myself in the near future and yours is wonderful inspiration for both that and to try to get back to the ideas I had for digital pieces which inspired my two "digital locket" pieces.

Keep up the great work! can't wait to see what else you come up with! =D
~clockwork-zero:iconclockwork-zero: May 23, 2008, 6:28:03 AM
Thank you for the watch on my steampunk jewelry. I appreciate the support :D
I'm working on a few new pieces - and some very different things over the next week. Hopefully something will prove entertaining.

and i see we share a few fav writers... I hope its okay to watch you back. You make some lovely jewelry!

regards,
CZ :D

Well, it's probably just as easy for me to have you send it along any time. I'll drop you a note with mailing information and some questions on what you might like done with it.
~KayStreet:iconKayStreet: May 20, 2008, 11:21:08 AM
You know, it's been sitting in my drawer for 2 years, so a while longer should hurt it. Just let me know when you'd like it. And I'll have it mailed. It's about an inch long and a 1/4 inch across.
*kailara:iconkailara: May 20, 2008, 11:15:28 AM
If you would like, I'm willing to try to come up with something. I can't promise how fast I'll get it back to you though, since I've been pretty busy lately and haven't had much time to work on projects. (I also have a few commissions from friends in the queue right now that I'd need to finish first.)
~KayStreet:iconKayStreet: May 20, 2008, 10:54:41 AM
Well I find it very beautiful. Most of the males on my mothers side are jewelers. My grandpa has taught me how to carve stone to a very short boundary. I can make a cross, a moon, and of course any oval , circle or square-ish shape, but nothing too very intricate... If I do have a lovely stone, (it's a piece of black jade cut into the shape of an Arabic Sword [cant think of the name]) May I give it to you to work with? I think you'd be able to do it justice. I've had it for 2 years now and have no Idea what to do with it!
*kailara:iconkailara: May 20, 2008, 7:50:28 AM
I haven't gotten as far as learning stone carving and other lapidary arts. I'm still working on getting my metal working to an acceptable standard.
~KayStreet:iconKayStreet: May 19, 2008, 7:13:29 PM
Did you carve some of that jade yourself? Because if you did, I've always wanted to see a piece of jewelry with a jade lizard on it... sort of a reptile theme for all of us reptile freaks out there!
*kailara:iconkailara: May 10, 2008, 10:37:20 AM
Thank you! :blush:

I don't generally sell my work, but I do accept commissions fairly regularly. A lot of the pieces in my gallery were gifts or commissions for friends. Mostly I just don't have time to make enough to sell on any sort of regular basis...full time job and all that. :)
*kailara:iconkailara: May 10, 2008, 10:34:30 AM
No problem. You do really great wrap work! I'm finding it quite inspirational to try more wrapping of my own. =D
~KayStreet:iconKayStreet: May 9, 2008, 2:28:11 PM
I was just wondering if you sell your work. It's absolutely beautiful!
*ChatNoir13:iconChatNoir13: May 6, 2008, 9:26:23 PM
Thank you so much for all the favs! I truly appreciate it! :D

Thanks for adding my piece to your favorites! You do nice work, keep it up!
*kailara:iconkailara: Apr 9, 2008, 3:48:46 PM
Happy to give it - I love the knotwork in those pieces and the color combinations are spectacular! =)
