I. AM. SUPER. AWESOME!!!

No...really. i am!!! I swear!

Today was a stellar day! Rachel helped build me some
bookcases (because she's a super women), i got a lot
of my work done, AND!!!!! I did SOOO GOOD at open
mic tonight!!!

I usually mess up, say oopsie, giggle and start over a
million times but tonight i didn't have a single one of
any of those, and got a lot of compliments. It was
AMAZING!!! YAY!

And now...Cherry Runway! So...i'm trying to make a
catalog to send to new galleries and boutiques. This
is my rough draft, what do you think? I need honesty
people!






Thanks! I hope you are all stellar, have a brilliant
Wednesday!

Excitment in business land!!

It's been a mighty exciting month for Cherry Runway and myself thus far, and we're only 1/2 way throughout the month!!

After visiting a nifty shabby chic vintage store called "The Gathering" in College Park a few weeks ago, i was approched by the owner to put my jewelry in her store. I brought her 20 pieces of Cherry Runway charm bracelets and matching earrings. She LOVED them, thankfully, (and even put one on after she saw it) and i'm crossing my fingers they will sell.




After a couple of successful trips to South Florida, (and getting really really lost) i approched a really cool"vintagy" store i love to take on my line. Luckily, before i dropped off my charm bracelets at "The Gathering", i had some tucked into my portfolio and they loved them! My Cherry Runway line of jewelry is now proudly in an amazingly boutique called "Jezebel".

Jezelbel's have been in business in Fort Lauderdale for over 15 years. They specialize in vintage clothing, and carry the most outrageous lines of gifts, candles, cards, books. It's a super awesome store, that you MUST check out if your ever in South Florida.






So, right now, i'm doing alright. While i was away, my co-workers sold another two pieces from my Jenipher Lyn line, so now i've offically sold 25 pieces at Timothy's. I'm stoked!! I really can't believe it. It's so scary approching these amazing stores and galleries, but when i find out that all these people really like my jewelry (weather they want it or not) it makes me feel awesome! Cross you fingers, pray and just think good thoughts, i'm truly hoping that by the holidays i'll be invited to be in a few more stores.

Thank you all for reading! If you want to see more images of my work, click on the jewelry above and it will lead you to the flickr account where more of my new line lies. :)

The Introblog.

I realized that i never fully explained who i was in this blog. And for that, my large abyss of readers, (har har) i apologize. My name is Jenipher Lyn and I'm a artist. I mostly make jewelry, but i dabble in a few other crafts. I'm striving to get the point where i can support myself through my craft, and although the road is rocky right now, I have full faith that one that, my dream will come true!

I currently have two different jewelry lines. Cherry Runway is my affordable, eclectic jewelry line. I pride myself to create something special for every price range. From the quirky strawberry necklaces to the chunky charm bracelets and earrings, I try to make sure I have something for everyone! Jenipher Lyn Designs jewels are made with the finest Sterling silver, freshwater pearls, gemstones, and Swarovski crystals. Light and airy, much of this jewelry has a very feminine feel.

Right now i have a really talented web designer creating the new website. If you get a chance, please check it out and let me know what you think of it.

I'm not the most talented photographer, which is kind of funny since it was my major for a while. I'm trying to figure out what technique would make my jewelry look the most enticing. So, for now, i'm sorry, but i am trying to work on it. :)

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! Look forward to some more exciting blogs, in the near future.

Craft on!

Phew, the show is over!

So...after much stress, and re-stress, the Fashion Show is finally over. And honestly, it really wasn't worthy of the stress it caused. But alas, i learned that you can't rely on just anyone, and some days your just have to figure out that you can rely on selected friends to pull through for you. All us gals had a fun time, it was stellar watching all my girls get their hair and makeup done, and we got to take a bunch of cute pictures. Sadly, pictures are all i have to show for the show, but at least it's something. I learned a lot about having a Fashion Show, and learned many tidbits that i wouldn't do for my own. Here are some pictures from the show, if you would like to see more, click them, and you will get to my flickr account.

Alchemy is a cute and edgy hair salon in Orlando. They were a talented group of women, and all of the gals in the show looked just awesome!! Jaime, a hair dresser their, helped with three of my gals hair and she was just so nice and patient. If you want an interesting, edgy style, check out: alchemyorlando.com/ If anything, just check out their funky website, it's quite entertainting.

Amanda was our makeup artist, not only did all the girls look beautiful, but she was very sweet. Be sure to checkout her makeup line! myspace.com/illumaminerals








ALSO! The start of my website is up and running. www.cherryrunway.com

I have to ffgiure out if this is the site i want o proceed preparing for, or if i should consider a different homepage for the future. Let me know what you think!!! And look forward to a full working, shopping carting website in September!!

Fashion Show is coming!!

Rachel brought me a new bundle of t-shirts for the show! They are ADORABLE! The piggy one is my FAVORITE! (I'm even wearing right now, to test drive it)




Aren't these underwares cute! The red pair and the strawberry necklace (my icon) are my raffle items for the Fashion Show, so if your planning on attending the show at Tatame near Winter Park, make sure you buy a raffle ticket! All proceeds go to the "Spore" project. A local charity to bring music and art to the Orlando public schools.



I bought these awesome buttons from a lad named Ricky (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=31265338)
He was quick and efficient and fun to message with while waiting for my buttons to arrive. I definitely recommend him for your button needs! For the show all the artists are giving away "swag bags" to the 1st 35 customers at Tatame, so these are my finish bags. I love the little crystal earrings I’m giving away




Fun things happening at Cherry Runway, stay tuned!!

An eventful work day.

'ello from the studio!

I relize noone reads this--yet--but i do hope that one day i have an audience. Perhaps who would like to see the arcives. So, here i trek on, to tell you a little about what's going on in Cherry Runway world.

Cherry Runway is going to be in a fashion show! On July 2nd in a local tea house in Orlando. We've been working like mad trying to get situated for that. I had a very talented gal make me some stellar t-shirts and i'm making the accessories to match. Here is our progress....

We both LOVE tie-dye, so we thought that would be a perfect start for our designs. After that some embelishment was added. And ta-da! Totally awesome T-shirts in our abyss.




Aside from the fashion show, my other jewelry line, Jenipher Lyn was accepted into another store. One called "The Gathering" in College Park. Boy am i stoked! The lovley owner is looking forward to my charm bracelets and earrings i'm making for her. She was very specific so i'm trying to make things she will like. Here is the turn out. :)



There is still a TON more work to do, so look forward to seeing more progression with both the Fashion Show and the charm bracelets. I hope your having a stellar day!!

A Little Bit of Every Nothing.

So...nothing OVERLY exciting to write about. There have been a few blog worthy events, but because i waited so long to dispurse the information, they don't seem as exciting. Oh well! Events that happened this week....

*I bought the most beautiful table. I bought it from a store in College Park called "The Gathering" which is the most amazing store! It's a mix of antique and new-antique everything. From funiture to linens to pottery, it's just splendid. I didn't relize the women i was speaking to there was the owener and we were chatting for a while. I mentioned i made jewelry, she loved the necklace i was wearing, and now she want's to put my jewelry in her shop! I'm really stoked, but don't like to count chickens, so be happier once i can go there and see my jewelry in the window. :)



How do you properly photograph a table?? Hmm.....

On the way to "The Gathering" of course i had to stop by Infusion Tea again and recreate the serene essence i had last time i went there. I think it was quite successful. They have the BEST honey there too!





*I finally met with a web designer, so hopefully my website will be up and running soon. I know i will at least have a home page by July 2nd. My jewlery will be in a Fashion Show at Tatame, (By Winter Park Ave) on July 2nd. So, that's quite exciting! Come out and see! there are seven designers and two or three jewelry designers, myself inluded. :)

Off to the gallery i go. Have a stellar weekend!!
