A Winter's Ring Exhibition

Tomorrow night is the opening night for a fun and different Exhibition in Hobart.   I'm excited to see what is put out for us to see! 

 A Winter's Ring!!!  What a great concept... something to brighten up winter in the world of Girl and Art...  This event will run from the 14th till the 27th of July at  Rebecca Roth & Cube Gallery,  Salamanca Arts centre Hobart.    I have designed three rings for this exhibition, which I've called "Messy chic".    They are vintage brass and vintage patterned fabrics and swarovski crystals and filigree and black chain... heavy, eclectic, messy and fun!!!!   I'll hold off on the photos until after the opening night to keep you in suspense, but I had a tiny peak today and I can't wait to have a closer look at some of the fabulous rings in the cabinets already!!!  Tasmania has some great jewellery designers and artisans.

In conjunction with this fun event is   Rainy Days 2010 , this exhibition is being put together by Jemima Boyer and is a novel display of no holds barred art designed and displayed on 10x10cm plywood blocks... the mind boggles!  I am definitely going to go and check these out!

So from tomorrow night onwards the place for some winter amusement and shopping will be  Shop 8, Salamanca Arts Centre, Salamanca Place. 

Best of luck with that girls, I am looking forward to it...

Had a big day at The Girl's Day out at the Point

Who popped in to the Girls Day Out? Was it what you expected?

I had a great day and met some great people and even put faces to some of my face book friends!! Thanks so much for making yourselves known to me... I love that.
I must admit though that I expected more... not from you of course!!!  But from the event....   did you?

The numbers were down by more than half from last year, more than 5000 visitors last year and around 2000 this year!!! That's a big drop!!!
I thought the fashion parades and the booths were better than ever!
What made the difference?
I know that a couple of great events were competing for the same date this year... The quilt and craft fair was on at the DEC, even I would have gone there if I wasn't pre booked! :o)
Also the Chocolate Festival at LaTrobe was a definite distraction!!!
So was it a clash of dates or poor planning or... was it as good as ever from your perspective?

I'd love your feed back on this, because I believe it could be even more fun for you all and I want the chance to catch up again next year!!!

Let me know what you want from The Girl's Day Out, what is your idea of a girl's day out?  It's a great idea isn't it? Who doesn't love a girl's day out... hahahaaa

This is where I'll be...

This Sunday... yes the Fourth of July... should be able to remember that date!!  - I will be showcasing my new leather cuff bracelets for the first time at "the market" at the Masonic Lodge in Sandy bay Road in Hobart.  Please open the links for more information if you hope to put this on your list of fun things to do on a Sunday in Hobart.
I have only just developed this design and must admit to being pretty excited about how they have turned out!!!
I love them!  They are large and noticeable, pretty and tough, and sturdy and adjustable...         you get the picture ...

So if you would like to see how one of these cuffs would look on your particular wrist be the first to pop in and visit me there... no- one who has seen them in the flesh, as yet... and there are only a few...
I would love your feed back and your orders... I will bring some colour swatches... and you can pick your fave,  be aware, though that as each is handmade and quite unique, they may not be exactly reproduced!!  We can, however,  create something just as unique for you.

Leather options are simply Brown or Black and wide or thin leather with adjustable press stud closures... should fit most...
the details are quite shabby chic. I have no intention of creating a pristine finish here...
The fabrics and crystals and other embellishments are of the highest quality, and I am quite pleased with the price.  Be warned ... there have not been many made yet, so be early to see the choices!  To complement these cuffs, I will be also bringing along my large and luscious cocktail rings. You may have seen some of them before, but look out for an ever changing range...
I am looking forward to catching up with you all!  I'm hoping to have a chat about what you like, what you don't like and what you'd like to see in the future... please do! I love to hear your ideas  :o)
hope fully see you there!
Jenny

Jet and sterling silver rose charm cocktail ring - JennyMills Jewellery

Jet and sterling silver rose charm cocktail ring - JennyMills Jewellery

I have a secret love of creating rings at the moment... I don't know if it's because a ring makes me feel dressed and exotic... or a little frivolous and is proof that I am not about to do the dishes or the gardening....

A perfect gift in a classic style and colour as is this ring, just choose an adjustable ring base to be sure of the fit.
This beautiful black, shimmering cocktail ring is made from plenty of round, faceted shiny jet on just such an adjustable, heavy sterling silver ring band. It has beautiful hand made sterling silver rose and leaf charms.  It is weighty, classy and noticeable and a lot of fun to wear.  I am in the mood for rings so keep an eye on my web site and on this blog site to see what else pops up for the fabulous Australian winter ahead... and of course the signs of the Spring to come will also be reflected in the ideas I have already begun to formulate...

Take those gardening gloves off and pop on that cocktail ring!

Have you ever felt like your most amazing jeans are just a little tight in the winter months, or that you've tried on all your clothes and have nothing to wear...?

This might indeed be just a problem for me  ;O)
This is when the cocktail ring is the perfect friend... it always fits me and it always looks just as great and makes me feel just as special!!!  It doesn't judge... :o)

Let me tell you all about the little sterling silver charms in the next blog... they are a particular favourite of mine, and I think you will also admire them more after you see who makes them.
cheers
Jenny

Distractions are a necessary part of my day...

We have gone from crisp sunny day to a cosy rainy evening. I have some projects under way... i am designing a couple of particularly arty necklaces for display at the Henry Jones Art Hotel in Hobart, and true to form, I have been distracted by the "new" templates on this blog site...  why do we have to be offered such fun toys to play with when we have work to do?
I'll post some photos when I have something other than ideas to show you...
stay warm on my side of the world, and stay cool on the other...
feel free to tell me about your amazing work ethic... it may motivate me!   :o)

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

I would like to wish all you fabulous mothers out there a fabulous, and fuzzy day today!!

Best Wishes  

Jenny
