Happy October and Custom Designs

Pumpkin spiced Chai, Pumpkin pie and Custom orders filled my day. 

This week I completed several custom orders and thought I would share this one with you.

I was super busy preparing for shows with design time in August and September included designing a new line of wrap necklace/bracelets to coordinate with my patina metals, embossed  copper necklaces, art bead necklace, and Mike's line of bronze clay necklaces and earrings and copper bangles.

We are designing our lines for our shows, new website and retail shops. We are excited about all the possibilities and the ideas just keep rolling.

This was a custom request for a festive color combo set with lavenders, pinks and yellows. This is the design that came from that color inspiration. In designing this the past two days I came up with the idea to offer my line with sets like this. This set can be worn as a long and short necklace, long necklace and patina wing necklace together and wrap the short necklace 3 times for a wrap. I designed a fun pair of earrings to coordinate. It gives you lots of options and I think we always enjoy that.

In the coming weeks I will be introducing more of these types of sets and necklaces wraps in my shop.

I love this time of year. I always enjoy the changes in the crisp air. Love the colors of autumn and find myself dreaming that we had the beautiful colors here in CA. If we time it each year we try to head to the Napa Valley and catch the vineyards in color. It is magnificent. 

This week we finished our 2 day shows cycle with 5 months of shows under our belt. Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin spiced chai, pumpkin pancakes, and pumpkin pie to begin with always gets us in the mood. 

I always love to hear your thoughts please leave me a message and let me know what you think of my new collection ideas.

Our new website is in progress and we are slowly adding new designs, and features as we find time.

So excited to share what is coming to Designs in the Light

  Designs in the Light Fall Collections Coming Soon!!

Mike of WaterSouls Studios and Cherrie of En La Lumie're

2013 has been a busy year for us as we are evolving in our jewelry business. We made the decision to build a website with both of our lines together. We are a husband/wife jewelry artist design team. We each have our own collections, styles and my Etsy shop at En La Lumie're. This year we wanted to provide a central place to share our bio's, collections, and schedules of  upcoming shows including other news.

You can visit our new website which is a work in progress at this point at Designs in the Light
We will be adding lots of news, new designs and more to share in the coming weeks.

We're in the middle of show season

Mike and I have been super busy designing new fall collections. We are designing parts of our lines to coordinate with each other. For several years we have shown at the same art and wine shows. The natural progression of mingling our lines seems logical.

Mike has been building hand-forged, wire wrapped gemstone earrings, bronze and rose bronze clay earrings and filigree wire wrapped earrings.  This week he will be making more bronze clay necklaces.

I am in the middle of a new fall collection of beaded bracelet/necklace designs. You can wear these pieces in a layered look with Mike's necklaces, my art bead necklaces or my embossed and patina metal necklaces. You can wear several beaded necklaces together or wrap them on your wrist with my art bead bracelets. It is a great bohemian look and I love the textures and colors together. So many choices and the possibilities seem to grow as we build our collections.

You can meet us in person
