Model Madness part 2- Jenny

As I've stated before, not only am I an artist in the northern Virginia area, but I also have started my own jewelry line-- OfNatureDesigns: affordable, nature-inspired, handmade, most of it one of a kind. I sell my jewelry in my studio Kelly's Artbox in Occoquan, as well as online on etsy.com

I decided to take my branding to the next step and hired a few beautiful faces to help give my jewelry it's "identity".

You met Julia in a previous blog, over the next couple of days I'll be posting some of the other photos I've taken of the other models. Today meet Jenny. Jenny is wearing my guitar string rings (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=14422559)

Fall Mums necklace, and Swallow's Treasure Necklace (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13735397)

(Thank you girls for all your help and smiles!)

Meet my "World Champion"

I am happy to say that one of my most recent customs acheived the title "World Champion" in the PtHA Model Horse Show.

I can only hope I have more opportunities to create live show quality models for other people interested in model horse shows!

Here are some photos of the champion.

I will be posting a blog soon on the progress of customizing a model.

Occoquan Events

Ok everyone, as most of you know, I have a little studio in Occoquan, VA called Kelly's Artbox.

Well, not to spread the news yet, but BIG and exciting things will be happening in the next couple months! I will be collaborating with Lisa Julia Photography (a children's photographer in Nothern Virginia http://www.lisajuliaphotography.com) and it should be great.

I'll keep you posted as details arise.
