Original Alcohol Ink on Glass Focal Necklace This was part of my studio time the other day.  The inks result in so many original one of a kind patterns and this is one of three pieces I've designed.  I plan to make an annealed steel chain and clasp to go with.  It will be available on my website when finished. via Deb V Designs http://ift.tt/1KIY0RQ

Today is here and it's the first day (of 3) for the Vancouver Island Bead and Jewelry Show at the Croation Center. For all the details, go to www.vibjs.ca My DH is starting to load the vehicle for the show and I have a few more things to gather in the studio, then off we go. My affirmation for the day is "I am in charge of how I feel and today I feel happiness". Wishing all vendors and shoppers a great weekend. via Deb V Designs http://ift.tt/1FC0Wx9

I had the honor of being interviewed by the Langley Advance newspaper for the upcoming August 16th, 2014 #ArtsAliveFestival. You can read the article on their website HERE Sorry, you do not have iframe working. Click here to go to the article.

It's funny how you can start in one direction and end up in a totally different one. I sketched out a design and cut it out of sheet metal to make a pair of earrings.   As I was playing with the metal, it wanted to go in it's own direction. I added enamel and WOW - the color possibilities are amazing. Combined with sterling silver, it's a beautiful garden dangling from your earlobes.   I think they are just stunning. $75.00 each pair Orange - SOLD

Setting Goals and achieving them feels "oh so good". As you may already know, I started on my jewelry making journey in 2009 and after a few years I realized I needed to sell what I was making in order to buy more materials. My quest for 2014 was to seek out markets to sell my jewelry.  I started keeping a list of shows customers and other artists were recommending, and fortunately there are many well organized Art/Artisan shows in the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley area.  With list in hand, I started applying and booking shows. The art of jewelry as an art form can make it tough to get into some shows as there are so many talented designers out there and limited spots available. In addition to the already great shows I've already been accepted into, I'm happy to announce two more shows. Drum roll please..... You will find debVdesigns at this years #Hycroft Christmas Show in November and the #MakeItVancouver show in December. YEAH!  Is it too early...
