There will be no tutorial...or there already is...

I was so happy about the possibility to post my tutorials at http://www.jewelrylesson.com/. I admire Eni Oken, both as a designer and business woman. And my tutorial there has been a success.

So I felt very inspired to make another one, as I wrote in my previous post.

But today I found a new tutorial listed on exactly this design. It´s hard to claim a design as your own, I know that. But the similiarity is so strinking! I made this pair of earrings in March and sold them on April 14th 2009. Now there is really no point in making the tutorial. So interested in making a pair like this - just go ahead and buy it - it´s already there...

Feeling a little pinioned today... :(

New tutorial

I´m working on a new tutorial. It will be a on how to make my Anne Boleyn earrings. The technique can be used to make connectors and various earwires, even for long earrings. It should be up and listed in about a week. I also applied to Jewelrylessons.com to perhaps reach another audience than the regular one through Etsy.

Find your trademark!

This weekend I held a class in Stockholm in how to find your jewelry trademark and the result from the participants were fantastic. Above you can see the clip book from Sussi Norberg, an interial decorator that also makes jewelry. Visit her blog Sussies värld for more pictures and of course to see her beautiful jewelry.

What I teach in the class is a step-by-step method to achive a recognizable signature, expressing the values and ideas you want people to associate with your jewelry.

If you live in Sweden, near Stockholm, and want to sign up for this class you do it here at Sirlig. Next class is 11 October.
