my creative etsymetal buddies are always brainstorming new and exciting ways to network and promote our work... this week's etsymetal blog carnival question: how those of you that have a clearly defined 'style' or signature style came to it? What inspired you to that signature style? And the rest of us, what inspires you to make your favorite kinds of pieces?
i consider my 'blade' earring series to be one of my signature styles. i originally developed this style for thicker gauge piercings, but i find it translates quite well to 'regular' 18g earwires as well.
my initial attempts at making sellable work were extremely labor & material intensive (top right), and therefore prohibitively expensive to most of my would-be clientele.
the blade earrings series emerged during this time period (middle right.)
since then, i have expanded on this theme, creating a myriad of iterations for both expanded and 'regular' gauge piercings (bottom right.) (the original!) blade earrings by discomedusa earrings can be purchased in my etsy shop at in select boutique and piercing parlors worldwide.
(a shout-out to my friend and fellow etsymetalista, rubygirl: thank you again for introducting me to the world of filigree findings!)
