| I'm Belinda Ingle of Vogue Rocks and I am so excited to be part of the Build A Line Master Class hosted by Brenda Sue Lansdowne of B'sue Boutiques. This is part one of three blog hops I will be participating in. I know this will be a great experience for me, and will also help me grow as a designer. |
 |
| I am drawn to fantasy and nature, it takes me back to my childhood when I believed that fairies lived in my backyard. Oh well.... I had to grow up! |
. I am very happy to be a part of this wonderful group of people. I am new to blog hops so bear with me. Here are a few items that I made some time ago. All of us were given an assignment to come up with a theme for our jewelry line, mine is based on my favorite color ((Shades of Purple)). I am so excited to have this opportunity to learn how to create a line of fine hand-crafted jewelry.
- Cameo Jewelry made with black matte beads and chain, All components are from B'sue Boutique, where you go to get the good stuff! :D

I have a little experience in wire-wrapping, these are some necklaces I have made. I hope by the end of this class I will be more focused on where I want to take my jewelry journey. I am hoping to create
a cohesive line featuring five pieces or more of jewelry. Planning pieces is a first for me, for I am one who gets something in my head and then I create it. I have learned quite a bit from our class discussions on different kinds of jewelry. Well I know you have quite a few more blogs to get to so I will say good-bye for now. I appreciate you stopping by, please leave a comment if you have a min. Here is a list of my classmates and their blogs,so scroll down so you may visit each one of them. :) |

Belinda, great post! I was new to blogs and blog hopping and all of the in-between stuff last year. It does come together and it looks like you've got this, girl! I look forward to continuing this journey with you. I, too, have all sorts of ideas swirling around in my head, like those lovely fairies in your garden! Have fun with it. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan for your kind words, you are so sweet. Looking forward to more class discussions with you.
DeleteMy motto is " All is well with the world as long as there is purple !" I am excited to see all of your designs :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Val for your kind words, and I am really loving what we are learning. Brenda is a wonderful teacher.
DeleteI fail to see why you had to stop believing in fairies? Being grown up is over rated in my opinion. Your jewelry I believe captures the magic so you can share it. You make beautiful work. Also yay for purple as a choice, it's one of my favorites too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanette for your kind words, I love the color purple. You are so right about being grownup. My jewelry has always had features of fantasy, that is my happy place! :D
DeleteDear Belinda, I love the photo of you in the fairy suit! LOL Sometimes I just can't help myself! Your Shades of Purple line will be a smash, I am confident of that! You have a great eye and great sense of placement. I am so glad you joined us for this class and thank you for the excellent blog post!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!Brenda thank you so much for the pep talk. I am very excited to be a part of this class. I'm still not sure of a lot of things but I'm sure it will come to me as class continues. :D
DeleteGreat blog. You look so thoughtful in your planning photo. I know this will be well designed. Looking forward to your shades of purple
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue, I love your work, especially your polymer clay hearts, those are truly beautiful. I look forward to seeing more of your great work :D
DeleteI love your vintage fairy photo and theme! Cannot wait to see your designs!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine for your kind words, that picture is like my muse, besides Passion my pink and purple dragon that sits on my workbench. BTW she was created by Katie Oskins of Katers Acres.

DeleteIsn't purple such a delicious color?! I look forward to seeing your designs
ReplyDeleteNice color! Here's a quote I found about purple, hopefully it will inspire you! Happy creating!
ReplyDelete"The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic."
Great job on the blog Belinda. Your jewelry is always beautiful. Look forward to seeing your jewelry creations.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your line!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what you create for your line. The dark patina fairy necklace is very pretty.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us Belinda!
What do you mean fairies don't live in the backyard? ;)
I think I am REALLY going to dig your line. My favorite color is a shade of purple! I look forward to seeing all the shades of purple you use!
Hi Belinda, I love purple. Can't wait to see what you make for your line. i'm happy we are sharing this class and I can get to know you better.
ReplyDeleteSo many artists have been inspired by that royal colour, so you join a distinguished group.
ReplyDeleteI love that you have been inspired by a color, and I've always admired your use of colour in your work.
It's going to be beautiful.
Oh, and never grow up. That's why we're artists!
Such a great idea to base your theme on a color. It opens up so many options!
ReplyDeleteHi Belinda-
ReplyDeleteIts interesting me that people have chosen color to be a theme this year. You have the purple. I am interested in how that will look and what you have in mind for design. The mystery intrigues me! Can't wait to the reveal!
Is your theme "50 Shades of Purple?" It is my very favorite color and I cannot wait to see the outcome!
ReplyDeleteBelinda, your "purple" theme can take you anywhere!!! Looking forward to continuing the class with you.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post, beautiful jewelry, and fairies! Who could ask for anything more?
