Paper Mache Displays work better when they are weighted down!   Let me show you how. I've never liked the velvet displays as they are hard to pack and show up lint, especially when photographing jewelry on them.  During my search for something better, I came across these macrame bust displays which are a heck of a lot better to pack for shows.  The nestle into each other tightly vs. being so bulky.  The only drawback was that they were light and could easily topple over.  My dear husband (DH) came up with a way to weight them down and I've been using them for over a year now and they work perfectly (for me anyway). Here's a quick video on weighing them down.

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...
