marichelle from heart handmade interviewed me a few days ago, it’s up on the blog here!
her wire + fabric work on her etsy shop, wunderlust, is adorable. always makes me happy when a talented artist digs my jewelry.

getting lots of work done today, BAM!!! TACOS!
fun things that should be done soon: new business cards (now I can finally use my new slick business card holder), new photos of the line (the current photos are making me physically ill every time I look at them), the new acrylic line, press releases, photos of the studio, bam bam bam. I’m ready to start promoting and schmoozing journalists and bloggers, it’s what I do best. grace bonney, I swear one day you’re gonna love me.

I forgot how much work it is to run bumblesea even with the site done. makes me appreciate how far I got in the earlier stages of the business.
trying to make some pure silver lichens at the moment. if everything goes according to plan I could see lichen jewelry becoming a signature bumblesea design.
lichens! and a superbly creepy (four eyed?) spider.

three days into the blog and I drop off the face of the earth. great start.
not much to post about, the bumblesea website is done and looks decent. need to make some minor changes to the CSS and take some better photos of the jewelry and I’ll finally be happy with it.
been a bit lazy in terms of getting new jewelry done, partially because I haven’t had a functioning torch to use for a while. every torch I’ve bought has broken within a few weeks. I bought a new one on amazon so there’s no excuse to not get some new work done.
contacted a few illustrators to collaborate with on some new acrylic jewelry for a project I have in mind. I’ve had my eye on cynthia yee for a while now, her work is incredible:

stressed about the launch of bumblesea 3.0. I want everything to be perfect for the release but I’ve been using that as an excuse to not make a new website for several months now. I’ve decided to go ahead and launch the site and make some tweaks later. my CSS skills are ten kinds of terrible but I’m slowly gaining an appreciation for it. not quite as scary as I thought.
goal launch date was set to may 1st. oops.
a bit of inspiration for the day:
