Q&A With Ashley
*Describe the type of jewelry pieces you will be selling.
I will be selling earrings, bracelets and necklaces.
*What are your favorite materials to use?
My favorite materials are seed beads, as well as wire. I love how seed beads can come together in bead weaving to create something complex and unique. I enjoy wire because I can link, bend and form it to create jewelry that can be casual or formal. Because I enjoy both, I tend to find myself with a wide variety of jewelry pieces.
*What can we expect to see from you during the sale?
I have a lot of gold and neutral, blue, green, purple and pink colors in a variety of shades. The majority of my pieces can be worn every day. However, I also have several pieces that can be worn to more formal events, because they include many Swarovski crystals and more complex bead weaving techniques. I believe all of my pieces can either be dressed up or down depending on what they’re paired with.
*Any other fun selling points about your jewelry line?
Variety is what I strive for and I think I achieve it because I use many different techniques. I also use many different materials from Swarovski crystals to seed beads to semi-precious stones and more. My jewelry is fun, affordable and one-of-a-kind. Another fun selling point of mine is to use a variety of clasps, like snaps, to finish off some of my bead weaving projects. I put a lot of effort into my pieces to make them the best they can be. My goal is to help create a beautiful life for others, and to me a beautiful life includes wearing handmade, artistic jewelry created by local artists.
