Store Update & Show Schedule

Store Update & Show Schedule

Here are some updated photos of my little shop. Not too much of a difference from the last batch since there was a delay with my getting everything done due to my taking time off because my son was in the hospital.

I am so happy that he is back at home and doing much better now... especially now that he got a new puppy today,which he named Ryu :)

So no Im back in action with catching up with work, making more jewelry to replenish my stock,preparing for a spot in a very well known magazine (which I will announce once all the details are worked out!) and getting ready for 2 possibly 3 shows so far that I have scheduled for June & July. I will hopefully get done with the shop very soon.

Until next time :)

Future Home for Lunaversoul!

As I mentioned before there has been alot of growth & great new happenings. Now I cant make all the announcements just yet so for now I have to keep it top secret ;) I have been truly blessed. Especially this year! I am currently in the process of getting a space in this huge strip mall. Within the next couple of weeks I will be in the process of moving into what is now"Lunaversoul Headquarters"! Ill have to come up with a better name later. I will post photos of the inside of the space when everything all painted & decorated I get all settled in.

Until then!

2nd Annual Reign of Style Show

Last weekend I was at the 2nd Annual Reign of Style Show & it was amazing!
The venue was packed! There was great entertainment and very talented artists.
Although I wish I could have seen more of the performances I still had a really great time,never a dull moment. I got such an overwhelming warm response & such wonderful feedback from everyone who came to my booth & saw my jewelry.
I couldn't be any happier.
Throughout the show my 2 friends & myself could barely keep up with mobs of excited customers that surrounded the booth. I mean they were buying jewelry like crazy,
By the end of the event the table was ransacked I barely had any jewelry left to to take home! Im so glad the show was only 4 hours because if it went any longer than that Im sure I would have ran out completely. I was hoping to get alot of photos but only managed to get a few photos during the show when we weren't so busy...and here they are :)

Glow Girl Artist Spotlight on Lunaversoul

Have you ever found something so unique and pretty you wanted to keep it allllllllllllll to yourself? This is how I feel about this extraordinary artist and jewelry maker Lunaversoul. To be quite honest, I really can't recall how I found her and thebeautiful, drop dead gorgeous jewelry she makes. All I know is I found it and I'mHOOKED. Now it wouldn't have been very fair to keep this treasure all to myself. CJ, the artist, has a vast collection of some of the most exquisite one of a kind pieces. I'm so thrilled to be the owner of the Azucar Earrings and Jaguar Ring! Check out
the pics!

The earrings are light weight and just about shoulder length. I love the contrast of the bright hot pink feathers against the green peacock pattern. It's so three dimensional! The ring has a nice weight to it but not so heavy it's cumbersome. The hammered ring opening is adjustable! You can wear it on virtually any finger! (I think it looks best as a middle or index finger ring) The ring made up of two Agate stones with a Jaguar elegantly placed at the top. This ring is definitely a conversation piece. The ring is quite delicate, so you don't want to be caught in a scuffle or in an environment where it could be battered and bruised.

The Lunaversoul collection is absolutely flawless, timeless and captivating. Looking at the catalog is like virtually walking through an exhibit. The time and effort shows with the handmade pieces. I can't get enough of perusing through the pictures and soaking in the raw natural talent and beauty of both the artist and the jewelry. Somehow CJ has the ability to create the perfect balance without going overboard or not pushing the envelope enough. Everything is everyday wear and can easily and effortlessly transition to evening and prestigious event wear. The use of bright and vibrant colors and materials like embossed leather and hammered brass is edgy yet the design is delicate and resplendent. With a price range of $25-$75+ you're destined to find something affordable, quite complimenting and utterly amazing to add to your jewelry collection. With the budding artist becoming quite the eye-catching phenom (and being eyed by retailers) snap up something lovely for yourself before she hits it big time so you can brag to everyone you know you have a one of a kind while everyone else is late and running behind! I'm excited to see more from her in 2010!

Noir Love By: Stacey Avian Robinson

A "Peace" in a series of Black love joints I'm working on to celebrate Black love. Advertising, media, and pop culture are in constant fear of Black people marrying and procreating...of course I'm going to say something about this through my art.
