As many in Denton know, Elements of Design is closing their doors. I would just like to acknowledge them for the years of representation and faithful sales of Earigami earrings. The square is losing a real gem!
So with a heavy heart, farewell Elements! Your beautiful products and the wonderful staff will be sorely missed. I will always be grateful to you for being the first to represent me, and really helping me start my business.
It's been a while since Earigami was updated, but since the Christmas rush time has been passing at a consistent hurtle :) Lots of nice "spring" designs and colours are available at both locations these days. I've brought back the butterflies, and the lilies in a slightly altered style, all in beautiful spring greens, pinks and purples. Be sure to check them out! In the meantime, happy March!
September was a productive month for Earigami. I set up a table and did some demos during Grapefest, the city of Grapevine's annual festival. It was nice to meet my customers, and I was able to get alot of work done in the process of demonstrating!
I've been away visiting family in England, Wales and France, so updates have had to wait! It was quite the experience, though it's nice to be back home and preparing for the fall term at UNT. These pretty butterfly earrings are new. They're available for purchase in both the single (shown above) and double styles. There are some beautiful new paper patterns also that you can check out at both retail locations.
I found a really pretty design in an origami book for a strawberry water-bomb which I shrunk down and incorporated in a new pair of earrings! These were incredibly time-consuming and normally require a special kind of double-sided paper (though you can colour the leaves green after inflating the strawberry base like I did). I was really pleased with the result.
I added a second fringe of four leaves to cover the hole in the top of the strawberry. The water-bomb has four leaves that fold out of it and a hole in the top for inflating and filling with water. The second fringe when laquered helped anchor the earring wire in place.
My name is Heather and I run Faulds Forge, my metalsmithing studio in sunny West Texas specializing in unique bridal jewelry and gifts. Every piece that leaves the shop is sculpted by hand in wax and cast in your choice of eco-friendly material. I reclaim scrap and recycle all my metal unless otherwise specified, so you can feel good about your purchase in more ways than one!
