suBringas has a new home!

Aloha!

After trying out several different types of blogs and photo sites and using up a colossal amount of time and patience, I've finally decided to move suBringas Designs to my own URL, and build it through Blogger. Unfortunately that involves a whole lot of moving, shifting, recreating, renaming and re-pointing.

So, for historical sake I will be slowly shifting over and consolidating. Please pardon the inconvenience, and ignore the shutterfly website and the wordpress blog.

Mahalo!

My Bio

I am an artist at heart and crafter by trade, creating since 1989. I received my BA in Art at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, taught ceramics and arts & crafts to children in the City & County Parks & Recreation Division, and advocate for education and all the Arts.

I hope you enjoy the things I've made as much as I've enjoyed making them.

Majority of my work is done in sterling silver, crystal and semi-precious stones. My favorite thing to do is special orders. Currently I am hooked on wedding things, such as wedding party jewelry, floral jewels, tiaras, etc.

Mahalo for stopping by, and visit often for new items and weekly specials.

At First....

I started in Wordpress because it was supposed to be pretty good.

Then I went to Shutterfly because it was so easy to add pics. Unfortunately, too easy for anyone to "borrow" my pics. So, scrap that....

Then after a brief search of other crafty people's blogs I landed here. Ok, enough history on this.

SHUTTERFLY Flashback 2: Moving Right Along...

...although not quite footloose and fancy free.

This summer's resolution was to list one item a day in my Etsy shop.

I thought I'd be fine with some items already in my shop including the wedding order, and some items on my work bench waiting to go. Well, the wedding items moved to the SOLD section on the same day, so I decided to list my first pair of earrings. With the kids distracted and the pics already waiting in my computer, I was able to create a listing for my red crystal hoop earrings this morning. By the end of the day, my good friend was asking to scoop up 3 pairs including the red hoops! Now, I'm not ungrateful, but I just have to shake my head and laugh at myself because the shoppe is nigh empty with little left to post! Hahaha! Gotta love my friends for the great support. Well, TGI soon Friday and I'll have some time to make more stuff, take some quick photos and refill the virtual shelves.

One day at a time, but I'm off to a great start!

SHUTTERFLY Flashback 1: At Last...

... as Etta James says. I should have been doing this long ago but Shutterfly has now created the perfect vehicle to house my journal/archive/etc. AND it's FREE!!! Love it! I'll try to post every night to catch up on what I've been doing, then attempt to keep up with my creative musings and tinkering. Enjoy!~Susan
