New stuff!

Wow, what a busy week! I got a lot of work done. Yesterday my friend Mara and I worked for four hours straight, beading, destroying, and photographing our work. Now I have more work cut out for me, having many items to post on our etsy site! We have a few things on it already, but there are many more to come.

These two necklaces were made by two different people (can you tell?). The one on the left is all plastic beads, and the other is an assortment.

















This ring took a long time, surprisingly. In order for the chain to be stretchy, elastic has to be woven into the links. Our bracelets of the same style take even longer, up to two hours! Don't even get me started on the necklaces. We have one or two of those.

Get to know Piper!

Hi, I'm Piper, the younger of the Penelope & Piper team. I like making jewelry, taking pictures, and doing the occasional scrapbooking page/card. Since Penelope added me to the team, I've been hard at work spending money! I love buying new beads, and a trip to Joanne's is a trip down inspiration lane. I came home with lots of ideas and a lighter wallet.

I've made a few necklaces so far, but I need decent pictures of them. Does anyone have any tips to take good pictures?
Once I get them photographed, I'll put them on our etsy site, penelopepiper.etsy.com.
