The Victorian era -- a time when men and women used bouquets of flowers to send secret communications and establish trysts. How secret these communications were is a matter of debate as there were many guides to the Victorian Language of Flowers floating around. Both innocent and illicit, these floral meanings influence the work. Join the romanticism and fall head over heels in love with Victorian Floral Art Pendants.Keira of LoveRomancePassionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07331468391417189912noreply@blogger.comBlogger129125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8595227423822863292.post-43309568120975381652009-06-18T07:53:00.000-07:002009-06-18T07:58:51.502-07:00

This one of the two boys is infinitely more clear than the previous version. I just love it. In fact, I've been doing more figure pendants recently. Keep an eye out for them to appear in my shop.This is white camellia, I'm sad to say it wasn't near as good a shot as I had expected. Difficulties with camera to computer screens. It looked focused super tiny... oh well next time I run into her

Given all the amusements one could have, frivolous amusements are by far simply the best sort to have. They do not weigh on our minds like the items on our to-do lists. They bring pleasure to us almost immediately upon partaking of them.If frivolous amusements are not worthy of our spare time, they are not worthy of any time. Indulge in a little carefree frivolity and enjoy the happiness found

Lily of the Valley jingles delightedly in the wind. Five full white blooms sway dripping sweetness. Let each of the blossoms give you a reason to return to happiness.

Over the next few days I'm going to post images to the book The Recently Deflowered Girl by Hyacinthe Phyppe. I forget exactly where I first found the images, if I remember I'll be sure to credit the person right away. I'm going to skip over the cover and interior introduction for now and post them at the end.Today's Deflowerment: Blind DateI'm surprised the last name wasn't Smith, aren't you? lol

I will be showcasing some of my work with Art and Junk in downtown Melbourne, Florida, USA. Learn more about her shop in my mom's writeup of Finding a Wonderful Gallery Shop.It always pays to have moms. I know this is a day late for mother's day, but it's true nonetheless no matter what day it is.Moms make great advertisers (be doubly sure to supply them with tons of business cards.) June saw my

You might be interested in seeing my art portfolio - I'm working on a few new pieces.I made Wild Daisy and like with Clouded Geranium, I decided that the original drawing needed to be expanded. I have a video I'm working on to explain. I'll post it in a few days.Take care!

As an online seller I have had more trouble with the concept of waterproof than anything else. My jewelry is not waterproofed and that seems to deter a lot of consumers. So I'm going to pose this question:How many people will only buy jewelry that is waterproof?If you answered yes:Why? Is it because you perceive that it is of higher quality?The concept that waterproof jewelry means high quality

Spread the news - I am back from vacation.Updates:I've come to the sad conclusion that selling wearable art jewelry on Etsy is not the venue for me. I put a lot of work into advertising, sharing ideas, meeting others around the site and making friends of sellers. Buyers have either not found me despite the active promoting or prefer things at a lower price point. That's fine, but after 8 months

I know this is a very touchy subject with buyers and sellers alike. As a buyer, you're frustrated with the seller for not being communicative. As a seller, you're upset because what you thought was a great sale has turned out to be quite sour. There's no need however to air laundry like that in the forums. Both end up looking bad and what's worse it sounds like the same problem, different people,

I take a lot time and care with my packages. I think presentation is very important. When you buy a wearable art pendant from me I like to think it was partly because you loved the design and partly because you loved the story behind the pendant. To that end I have found a way to give you the story as well as the pendant with your purchase.I've also received many beautiful packages from other
