I was there on Wednesday, and it's an absolutely gorgeous show this year! There's a huge variety of stuff, from what's shown in the above poster to pottery, gourd art, metalwork, glass art, watercolour paintings, acrylic paintings, handcrafted bookmarks, art cards, and completely adorable monster stuffies... I will be there again on Saturday November 28th and on Sunday December 13th. I'll be bringing home-made pinwheel cookies this Saturday, and if I am feeling ambitious I'll make traditional Bavarian Christmas cookies for my December shift, if baked foods bribery works to get you to swing by.
Baked goods are not what I'm selling, however. So without further ado, here are some pictures of the jewellery you can find at the gallery show.
For fans of my pearl and seed bead jewellery, I included a couple necklace and bracelet pairs in some favourite colours.
First up is my classic harlequin design, which someone recently pointed out to me could also be called a ying yang design since it has the curves and balance of black and white. (bracelet $20, necklace $39)
And for those wanting warmer tones, I have the rich caramel pearl and coffee-brown seed bead combo (bracelet $20, necklace $39)
To go with the pearl necklace and bracelet sets, I have some of my freeform coil earrings.
I have a nice winter pairing of silver-plated copper wire and snowy white glass pearls ($20):
I have a silver-plated wire and greyscale ombre set that would go beautifully with the harlequin/ying yang nelckace and bracelet set ($20):
And I have a pair of silver-plated copper wire with lavender miracle beads. These ones feature smaller/tighter coils. The miracle beads never quite come out in pictures. The best one is the second from the top on the left-hand earring. The beads seem to have a glowing layer around a bead in the inner core. Or maybe a shadow layer around a glowing inner core. Anyway, miracle beads have a bit of an optical illusion going, and I love it, but it doesn't photograph. ($20)
In warmer tones I have an elegant brass wire with creamy white glass pearls for a sense of classic, old-fashioned luxury with a modern twist in design ($20)
And for those liking a bit more colour, I have brass wire with white and caramel glass pearls ($20)
The final pair of freeform coil earrings features copper wire and white glass pearls for those who like to play with a less common metal in their jewellery ($20)
I also have some of my new triple drop earrings at this show.
The first are in silver-plated wire with deep indigo freshwater pearls ($20)
I also have another pair of my lovely and elegant favourites with the rose-coloured freshwater pearl drops and brass wire ($20)
And a pair of my new favourites (I'm allowed to have many many favourites, okay?), the gilttery shooting star design featuring gunmetal wire, hematite stars, and Swarovski crystal bicones:
These ones actually sold on Wednesday, but I'll bring in another pair on Saturday, only with silver-plated wire instead of gunmetal. I figure these guys are great for holiday-season parties, especially New Years.
And last but not least we have some sea glass. I realize it's more of a summer thing, but no WhispereDreams collection would be complete without it. I have included two sets.
The first is silver-plated copper wire on white sea glass with indigo pearls. (Pendant on black cotton cord $25, earrings $39)
The second features brass wires and pale peachy freshwater pearls. These earrings are a bit different because they more closely echo the pendant design and have the pearl dangles hanging right against the sea glass instead of above or below. (pendant on black cotton cord $25, earrings $39)
And there you have it! If you buy lots, I'll make new things, haha. Hope to see some of you there either this Saturday the 28th, or on December 13th. Remember, I am bribing you with cookies!
