Show Off...

Obviously, the first thing most people think of when they hear the term "show off" tends to be that someone is being arrogant or let's face it, probably kind of a jerk about something they can do or something they possess.  To me, over the past few years, it's come to mean something so much more.

From my vantage point, I see people through the lens of my camera and I want them to love the images that I document for them.  It makes me smile to see someone post images from our sessions on their Facebook or Twitter accounts, but even more so, I LOVE to see them hanging these images on the walls of their homes!  Family, no matter how nutty they can be sometimes, is truly a gift from our Father, and having images hanging in your home is a way to remember those you love and treasure the time you have with them.

 What's even more fun than hanging the images in your home or at your office?  Wearing them!  I went through several months of trying different materials when I decided to start making portrait jewelry, and after spending a little *too* much money on components that didn't live up to my expectations, I finally found the right stuff.  My products are made with high quality components, jeweler grade resin that is waterproof, won't fade or yellow over time, and has exceeded my expectations!  While I provide a great product, I also make sure that it's at a cost that is within reach.  Comparable items that are made with water "resistant" products that aren't long lasting cost as much or more than what I offer, especially in my vintage comic line.  I want you to be able to enjoy your jewelry for a long time, not just wear it a few times and have it lose color or fall apart.

I can take treasured old image, a picture you snapped on your cell and posted to Instagram, one that I've taken during a portrait session, however you have an image you love, if you can get it to me, I can turn it into a piece of wearable art for you to "show off" the ones that are closest to your heart.  From an Instagram pendant to a memorial piece for someone who has suffered a loss and anything in between, these can be with you whenever you want, not just when you happen to glance on the wall or pull it up on your phone.

In addition to portrait jewelry, I also create one of a kind vintage comic jewelry, using hand selected images from vintage comics.  This is such a fun way to release your inner geek!  You may have to dress a certain way for work or school, but adding accessories with your favorite character or series is your chance to show off what you love.  Each piece is unique and features heroes or villains, word bubbles or just plain cool scenes from your favorite comics.  If I don't have your favorite in stock, I am happy to do custom orders and can ship worldwide.

Sports jewelry is another great way to show off.  If you let me know your favorite team, it's colors and mascot, I can create a custom design for your jewelry, even adding in a jersey number or the name of your favorite player.  Moms, if your kids play sports but you don't want to wear the tee shirt to every game, these are super fun!  Plus, who doesn't want to glam up their soccer mom look every once in a while, right!
