Blue Scarab Jewelry is going to the Golden Globes! OMG, help me!

So recently I snagged a spot in the GBK Golden Globes 2012 Celebrity Gift Lounge through
The Artisan Group. They are a juried bunch of artisans committed to helping each other grow, but the main focus is on gifting celebrities through these red carpet celebrity gift lounges prior to huge events like the Oscars, Golden Globes, and the Emmy's.

While this is fabulous news for me, and I am SO excited I could pass out, it is all beginning to hit me now. It's not the 100+ pieces of jewelry that I have to make for the swag bags. That I can do, I do it all day long seven days a week and twice on Sunday. Not really, but you get the point. I'm a jewelry artist. Tis what I do. Make jewelry for a living. What is getting me is EVERYTHING else. It's all suddenly creeping up on me, and quickly starting to suffocate me. Like......

Well, I'll need to order 100+ bubble mailers. OK. And jewelry boxes. Yep. And Ribbon to tie my boxes & thread through my bags. Uhuh. And material to MAKE my bags. And ink to stamp my logo onto my bags. And CRAP I need new cards, badly! And a mini flyer/ad to stick in my bags. Well, want that, maybe won't have time to do that. Sigh. Need earring cards because my wire wrapping & tiny stones snag on the nasty cotton that comes in the jewelry boxes, which grosses me out anyways, blech. Same for necklaces & bracelets. Ooh, I'd like to put little "about" product cards in there too. What if a man get's my jewelry? Hopefully he has an equally famous girlfriend or wife he will pass it onto. Am I waisting my time? And money? The supplies this is going to take, holy cow. Le sigh. And again.

That is just a very brief freak out I go through on a daily basis thinking about this Golden Globes thing. But then I start thinking about what celebs I would love to see pimping my jewelry. The top gals that come to mind are Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Kim Kardashian (yes, I know), and Eva Mendes. I could go on & on forever, but these babes pop up high on my list. How insanely geeked would I be if I got a pic with Jennifer Aniston decked out in my jewelry?! Gah! Words couldn't explain I'm sure.

We appreciate them stopping in our shop and are excited to share their gorgeous work with you!

"About my work; I originally trained as a graphic designer attaining my Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1998, however found with time that my interests also encompassed making jewellery and other accessories. Initially this began as a hobby with most of my works being created as gifts for family, friends and later weddings. The time has now come to expand and share my creations with a wider audience.

Necklace, Shell Pearl and Sterling Silver, Towering Forest

I draw inspiration from nature, travel, culture and various art movements, always keeping and eye on current trends and fashion. I have a penchant for all things French and particulary love creating romantic, dreamy pieces with a touch of vintage.

Bracelet, Lampwork and Oxidised Sterling Silver, Golden Orbit

Earrings - Mookaite and Sterling Silver - Twiggy Sticks

Growing up, creativity and artistic pursuits were very much encouraged in my family. My grandmother was a very skilled crafts person who sold many of her wares. My mum is an accomplished painter who sells her works and also teaches art. Like these special ladies I too hope to share my artistic creations for the enjoyment of others.

Delicious Jewelry Designer Sheilah Of Ssheilah jewelry & accessories

Desert Ironwood and Elk Antler Jewelry -- and More
A bit about Sheilah:
We love love making things, going places and eating great food. We're currently in Cheyenne, Wyoming - we love the Front Range and all it has to offer, everything from excellent coffee in downtown Denver to hiking in the Snowies to following dinosaur tracks in the Black Hills.
Much of our jewelry is made with nickel-silver, an alloy of nickel, zinc and copper that has a deep sheen and polishes to a high gleam. We also use several composite minerals, such as malachite, red jasper and onyx.
  
Sunset in Wyoming - Necklace

Spring Storm Necklace












We use ground-harvested western elk antler in some of our jewelry as well. Elk shed their antlers every year in the late fall as part of their natural mating cycle. People in Wyoming and other western states wander through the wilderness picking up the dropped antlers to be used for jewelry, furniture and decorations.

 Western Elk Antler Pendant Earrings

Men's Western Elk Antler Ear Stud

Desert Ironwood is one of the rarest and most beautiful hardwoods in North America. Desert ironwood is similar to cats-eye stone in its translucency and has a lovely, intricate grain. The nickel-silver pattern in the jewelry is hand-inlaid into the ironwood.

Delicious Jewelry Designer Marcie Jane

"I started my business in 2002 during a time of life rebirth and restructure.
Designing offered a release of creativity that nurtured my soul and heart in a very positive way.

Simple Treasures

Sara Jane

 

Art, design and creativity have always been a part of my life. I used to build mansions for my Troll family and deck them out in handmade outfits and jewelry.

My designs have matured since then and I am excited everyday to study and learn more about the Art of Jewelry Design.

Fern Gully

Home is Love

I have a huge love for the outdoors and all its glorious beauty. Though my work is constantly evolving, as am I, my designs will always be nature inspired.

My love of the organic texture, color and elusiveness of natural gemstones inspire me to pair many elements to create a unique jewelry art. The technique of wire wrapping, chromatic selection, design and fine silver fusing/soldiering are incorporated.

Clear Ice on Blue Ice

Moonbeam

Quality and satisfaction are extremely important to me; I go to great lengths to create my art jewelry pieces with quality products and supplies. I search for elements that are rare and unique to create a one of  a kind piece of art. Excellence in my technique is my constant goal."
