Vogue Rocks Designs-BALC Master Class-2nd Blog Hop of 3

Well here we are, blog hop #2
So what have I learned..............a lot! Brenda our wonderful mentor has really made me think about what I am. My choices were Hobbyist, Maker, or Designer. Hmm....... I really wasn't sure about this, and truthfully still not. I love to make jewelry and I do sell some, but I absolutely do not like the business end of it all. This is why I took this class to see if I want to turn it into a full fledged, full time business. I am really enjoying the class, Although I don't comment a lot, but I am listening. I am going to be more engaged these next couple of weeks. I have learned sticking to a schedule is a lot harder than I thought. Well more on that later. Here are a few components that I am using in my "Shades of Purple" line.

A beautiful Mess! This is what I keep telling myself anyway! I do have the one thing that is required, you see my coffee cup, COFFEE!!!

Here are a few more

{A few more tricks of the trade}

Here is a small sampling of my "Shades Of Purple" line, just a morsel.......
Don't worry there will be a banquet on our next and final hop!

Violet and Amethyst Fairy Earrings

So this is some of my color inspiration, now I would love you to see what everyone else is up to. So down below you will find the names of all of the participants for the hop. Please before you go, I would greatly appreciate a comment and I know my classmates will too. Happy hopping :D

Build A Line Challenge From B'sue Boutiques, Belinda Ingle of Vogue Rocks , Part One, January 29,2016

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. :)
