Quit Your Day Job

One of Etsy's greatest posts is the Quit Your Day Job Series.

I love reading the stories of people

who after joining this large community

as sellers, they managed to be

so successful and could finally quit

their day job and be their own boss.

The most amazing thing is that there

are also sellers, often couples

that lost their jobs or had difficulty finding one

during the economic crisis

and their etsy shop became their only

income, like this couple here .

Isn't this wonderful?

Are you close to being

your own boss?

A Proper Introduction

This blog post was created for 2 reasons....

1. I realized I NEVER properly introduced myself...

How impolite of me...I know....

2. I was told I need to model for my pieces...

So, here it goes....

1. My name is Trisevyeni.. (take it slooowly and maybe

you will manage to pronounce it correctly..)

ok...you can call me Jenny ;)

I live in Greece for the past 32 years..well...almost 32..

I cant live without the sea..without ice cream..

without chocolate...without my loved ones...

but not necessarily in that order..

I drive an old Red Fiat and I hate exercising.

I love almost everything vintage.

I love reading books and learning foreign languages..

i lost my father 2.5 years ago, and that

changed me..changed me a lot..

2. As mentioned above I was told that it

would be best to model my pieces.

So, I took my camera and

dot right into it..

I m not used to taking photos of myself..

so I guess, I have a lot to learn..

Do you model for your pieces?

Do you have a favorite background ?

Do you prefer morning or afternoon

light for these photo shoots?

Do you wear specific clothes?

Sea or Mountains?

When I was just a little child, me and my

friends used to ask each other :

"which do you prefer?the sea or the mountains??"

I would then close my eyes and think of myself

first by the sea, and then up in the mountains..

And I would say :

" I love both.."

for a different

reason..

But if I was asked this :

"You could not live without the Sea or the Mountains?"

Then I would definitely say :

"The Sea!!"

Which do you prefer?

Which makes your life better?

Which fills your heart and soul??

I have a thing for Flowers :)

Adjustment..

It's no news the price of silver is going up..

Just looking at it's price makes my

head ache..

As many of my jeweler friends, I have also

decided to incorporate other materials

in my designs..like copper and brass..

and some fabric :)

Today, I have decided to show you

some of the progress I ve made

with enameling..I ve made some post

earrings a few weeks back which you can see here and

here ..

And I ve made a few more :)

Jenny
