As a small business owner you are responsible for everything and sometimes bits fall to the wayside. Maybe starting a blogging endeavor in which I was to be totally on task with production every week of '09 was a ridiculous ambition. I still will attempt to complete the 300 pieces I have promised to document for 2009-as it's part of my nature to complete something I 'state'. I have been more involved with the Business/Paperwork side of Early Jewelry lately. After the craziness of May I have a newly organized studio, built new shelves, minimized, took on a Bookkeeper and a new Intern!!! Thanks again to all my great customers/blog visitors and your patience with my lack of regular posting. I love being able to design & make the jewelry that I publish on this blog. Enjoy.-kylie

2009 Blog Project

2009-01-12T17:32:00.002-06:00

300 Designs: Variations & Explorations
I am excited to be focusing this blog in 2009 on a personal project, 300 Designs: Variations & Explorations.
As the facilitator of all things in the Early studio and a few years of mass producing jewelry from my 'Collections' I have taxed my hands and brain. I need a new avenue to produce work. Not only will 300 jewelry designs be a personal goal and challenge, it allows me to post pieces which push my current designs. There are no guidelines, yet natural parameters will evolve in this process. Here's to 300 Designs in 2009, Cheers! -Kylie

2008-12-22T13:20:00.002-06:00

Happy Holidays and a cheerful New Year. We will be out of the studio from 12/23/08 - 01/02/09. The picture above is of my father, aunts, and uncle with their classmates posing with a scary looking Santa at their school 'Grandview'. Both my father and mother went to one room schoolhouses 'til they attended high school in Kansas during the early 60's. 'Grandview' school was about a mile from the farm where I grew up, it's still standing but is getting pretty run down. 'Little House on the Prairie' gives me my main nostalgic visuals of attending a one room school, but having one right down the road made it more realistic. When I would go to 'Grandview' as a kid my imagination would always go wild. It was a dusty cold smelling space with chipped paint, books, desks full of carved initials, and hanging maps. I can only imagine it was a great place to spend your school days. It was simpler then..I guess. I just realized that in this picture all the boys are on the right, girls on the left-ha.
