New Releases at the Armoire!

Have you checked out The Armoire yet? No? Why not???? You have until tomorrow night before we pack it on up and head back to our stores!

First up: The new Releases!

Patience is the one to the left. It has a belt, choker, earrings and a bracelet done in three semi-precious stones. Malachite, Tigereye, and Blue Goldstone.

The disks of stone are all knotted together with black leather, with beaded accents in hematite. The design is the first peice I've done thats based off my rl beadworking, and took -days- longer than the original peice. -eyeroll- I suppose by now I shouldnt be surprised that it takes SO long to do some of these peices.



The other new set is a tip of the hat to the first set of jewelry I ever did (Elora). Starlight, Starbright is done in copper and silver, and comes with a ring, choker, earrings, a barette and a bracelet. The hunt peices at The Armoire go along with this particular set.

Unfortunately, Starlight, Starbright is a bit difficult to take detail shots of without cluttering up your screen with some huge montage of peices, SO! I will show you the vendor and the Treasure close ups instead, and I'll hope that you will forgive me for the screen real estate I'm taking up here.

Now, in the treasure hunt, there are two different chests. The silver chest has this barette in periwinkle. the GOLD chest has a limited edition pair of hoop earrings. BOTH peices go with this set <3 When you land, there are two pillars, on touch they will give you instructions for the hunt. PLEASE, please please read the instructions carefully :) Tomorrow from NOON SLT-2pm SLT we will have live models out and about wearing our peices, so be sure to come check that out :) After The Armoire event, these two new sets will be moving to the main store @ Balderdash.

Testing, testing 123

Tired of hearing about the Jewelery expo yet? You arent? No? Can't wait to go? Well good then, because I'm there!

Can't miss me, I'm the monstrously green waternymph booth, number 6 I think.

There are some absolutely wonderful designers that have been hiding themselves very well on the grid, and I am honored to be nestled into the expo with some of them. Go go go, and discover some new people or some old favorites for yourself!

I've released a new set, Whiskey and Sunlight for the expo, and it will only be available at my booth there until the end of the event. (Thats October 11th, you dont have long to get down there!)

For those of you familiar with the Nightengale choker, it is my charity peice with part of the proceeds going to Heifer International.


As for Balderdash...... Jazz Funeral has been updated with a new bracelet, a much requested item. Its available for singular purchase as well, for those of you who allready have the set... but only at the main store as I was so manic working on the booth for the expo that I completely FORGOT that I meant to release it there. Bad Saiyge, No buscuit. By the time I remembered that I had forgotten, my booth had passed inspection and I did -not- want to ask Miriel to go look at it -again-.

There are a bunch of new little things scattered around Oubliette at the shop, by the by... The pumpkins are out, the Cemetery is for sale, There are Cauldrons, Fires, Corrupted Fountains and I have a few tricks up my sleeve that are on the way. Stop by, bring your camera, bring a friend, and a fishing pole... but get thee to the expo first!

By the way, Oubliette /Balderdash has a new Flickr group, feel free to contribute!

Special project - Collaboration peice with the lovely Hya of Silent Sparrow

I am one lucky girl. I have been a big fan of Hya's gorgeous clothing for some time now, and I've been blessed to find that she is not only talented, but unique, down to earth and a wonderful friend. Hya has been a color for me for a while now, with her distinctive tealy blue signature... and she's also been an inspiration for other projects of mine. When I started trinketing with jewelry, there was no question in my mind that eventually I'd like to do something to go with her lovely pieces.... The question would be How badly would I embarrass myself?

I mentioned something along the lines of maybe doing a set to go with one of her releases sometime.. oh.. last week? Little did I know she would give me the chance to do just that within days.

Last weekend, Hya passed me these lovely confections in gradient stripes and florals... Immediately what sprang to mind was victorian disneyesque gothica. I've been working almost nonstop on this set all week (computer permitting). I'll be releasing this set tomorrow, but theres no reason you cant have a sneaky peek at it.
(Do any of you actually read this thing anyway???) ^^



This dress immediately had me thinking spring, lush rolling meadows and little fat chickadees and bluebirds swarming amongst the butterflies. I wracked my brain wondering what in the world could I make for -this-? It wasn't all that hard. The hard part was getting the cameo I wanted accomplished. Warm iridescent shell, and a lovely victorian lady holding a fat little bird in the palm of her hand. This is the vision that came to mind.... I rather like her.

The set consists of a choker of ribbon with laces that trail down the back from a little bow, the necklace, the earrings.. and a brooch that is meant to nestle betwixt ones cleavage. Now... I wear an awful lot of suits (I really only wear dresses for shock value and out of very random urges... Its very rare that I'll be seen in a skirt.) And I really love this cameo... so the brooch bit doubles as a cravat pin. (You get both the cravat AND the brooch together when you buy them. One attaches at the chest, one attaches to the spine)

The bits come on their own, OR you can buy a Necklace set (necklace/earrings) Choker set (choker, earrings) Or the whole dang kit.. and it comes with.. well... all the pieces at a little bit of a discount :)

OH! All the pieces I sell are now : Copy/mod (on headpieces and neck bits) and Earrings/brooches are copy only.

If you would like to gift someone with a set, just let me know, I"ll give you a mod/trans set... until I get myself a vendor set up for gift purposes. (I don't bite,... much) :)

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to Hya... for being such a lovely muse, and a wonderful friend. :) And thank you to all of you out there for your encouragement and support :)
