The jewelry show at the Hellenic Museum was fun and successful yesterday. I sold a number of my necklaces, bracelets and earrings, and had a great time seeing friends, chatting with the other 6 other jewelry designers, and selling my designs. Over the years, I've sold a few pieces of jewelry, often making it for the person or silent auction. I've also made jewelry as gifts, and always try to capture the person's personal style when making a gift. These designs were like my babies though. As each piece was sold, I hoped that it would be worn with the same affection and love with which it was made. A great amount of heart went into this art.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
