Here are a couple of new items, just added to my etsy shop, cargoh shop and website. One is somewhat familiar - my music necklace, but it is now on an oxidized chain that has been polished with steel wool before being tumble polished (a different effect from being brushed). The other item features my signature gemstone wrapping with tiny multicolor spinel rondelles - love!

A note about mariecarter.com and ~TAKING THE SUMMER OFF SALE ~ CONTINUES

2010-06-27T08:15:00.000-07:00

After being a wonderful venue for shoppers to find my work for just under 5 years, the time has come to close the mariecarter.com store. The reasons for this change are many - the main cause being the programming challenges that maintenance of the store requires. I much prefer to design and create rather than work on programming. Additionally, traffic to my etsy and 1000markets shop is at least 10 times the traffic to the original web store.

As always, you can still find me at etsy or 1000markets. Through etsy, all forms of payment, including PayPal, are accepted. At 1000markets, Amazon Payments is the method available.

Currently, all of the items listed in my etsy shop are marked down by at least 50% + free domestic shipping! You can also purchase through my very new Bixbe outlet. I have attached a couple of links to sale items below:

I'm Selling This:

I look forward to listing wonderful pieces for the fall in late August.

Happy Summer!

~TAKE THE SUMMER OFF SALE~

2010-06-17T15:48:00.000-07:00

I will be taking the summer off and plan to have wonderful new jewelry pieces ready for the fall. Until then, please enjoy deeply discounted (40%-50% off original prices) works of art and complimentary domestic shipping at my etsy shop - Happy Summer!

SPRING 2010 Designs

2010-04-10T18:20:00.000-07:00

I always enjoy the "fresh start" feel of Spring. I have posted new designs at my shops, both here and here, as well as on my website. As always, I focus on clean lines with occasional pops of color. All bracelets work well in multiples together and I am somewhat fascinated with the bold wire-wrapped ring (especially since I got my hands on some exceptional lapis and amazonite this year!). There will also be one or two long necklaces added to the collection. Most designs will be limited to 2 or 3, so if you like something, grab it when you see it!

Both domestic and international shipping is free on my website - enjoy!

2010-04-04T20:18:00.000-07:00

Psst - all domestic purchases at my etsy shop ship free - HAPPY SPRING!

Missing Artisan Jewelry Making

2009-12-14T18:37:00.000-08:00

So I thought that I was finished with jewelry design. I was convinced that I was no longer inspired by gems and metal.

I was wrong.

Now that I have had time away from my craft, it is, once again, calling me back...

2010 will bring me back to my love of artisan jewelry.

(Writing remains in my present and future too!)

Happy Holidays!

Thanks so much Colleen!

....CLEARANCE..... at 1000Markets

2009-01-10T11:31:00.000-08:00

The items pictured here are currently on sale at both of my shops. They also come with free shipping at my 1000Markets shop. Check them out before they are gone (and mention my blog and you will receive free little circle drops with your 1000Markets order).

2009 Begins with 1000Markets Special Offer

2009-01-04T15:09:00.000-08:00

Wow. I am amazed at how quickly the month of December flew. All orders made it to the post office and the holidays came and went.
As our lives get busier and busier, I realize that balance is extremely important. I spent a huge number of hours this past year on "designing" and "creating" and "finishing" and "updating" and "reconciling". All of these areas are extremely important to me because they help our little business to grow. What I want to remember is that many other areas of my life are vital to my well being - my family and my friends, to name a couple. I plan to focus a great deal on keeping those areas in good working order this year!
Naturally, new goodies will be sprinkled throughout my shop. I continue to love clean lines. The designs that I create represent what I reach for day after day. I tend to layer necklaces to create interest and "drama". If it is not a necklace kind of day, a wonderful ring and great earrings do the trick. Otherwise an armful of different bangles are the only embellishment to my "uniform" of black, cream, gray and chocolate....I am from New York, after all.... ;) My goal for this year is to create great basics with interest that are supremely versatile. I want women to have jewelry that they love to wear - and jewelry that they can splurge on without destroying their budgets.
I wish everyone a most wonderful, healthy and joyous new year.

As a welcome to new customers to my shop at 1000 Markets, I am offering a free pair of little silver drop earrings with each 1000Markets order through January 31st, 2008. Please mention this blog post during checkout and your free earrings will be included. Happy 2009!

Inspiration...the root

2008-12-01T18:57:00.000-08:00

There is always a reason why we choose the paths that we take. My jewelry work has evolved quite a bit over the last few years, but certain elements remain the same to me as they were the first day I discovered them. I feel grateful to those images and forces that have stayed in my mind's eye and try to always create work that makes people feel happy, confident and comforted...
My most significant influence is ornate indian jewelry....you may not really be able to tell from my work, which is stripped down to the most basic interpretation of the designs in my head, but I am inspired by the intense colors in indian jewelry. I grew up in an area of New York where there were many indian shops - the beading on the saris and the smells of the stores have stayed with me. The jewelry was always embellished with stones bead or bezel set very close together. There was always a strong handmade feeling to the pieces and they were worn almost casually by the women but seemed so regal to me! In my work, I do try to create pieces that are special, but that a person can reach for every single day and feel completely comfortable (and a little glamorous)...
Another path opened up as I was cleaning out my stash of lapidary journals several years ago (they were taking over our small Manhattan home). One magazine fell open to an article on a wire artist (up until that point, I foolishly decided that learning to bezel set and form sheet was soooo much more sophisticated than wire work and bead work). I literally read the article on this artist 3 times before putting the magazine back on the shelf. After that day, I did everything in my power to learn all about this amazing talent - Lynne Merchant - and how she came to create such dramatic and earthy pieces out of wire. I was able to take a class from her a couple of years later and grew more in that 2 day period in my approach to design, than in the 2 years prior.
The third road opened in another class - this time with Vicki Eisenfeld. What moved me most was that she treated wire like thread and showed the class how she weaved with different colors of gold to create a variety patterns. I realized then that I could create my stories using any medium that I chose and my only limitations would be those that I created for myself. So now I don't think of any limitations!
In the last couple of years, my focus has been on communicating my thoughts in the simplest, easiest to understand way - so that my work transcends mediocrity....at least that's my goal. I love playing with positive and negative space and infusing designs with pops of color here and there, but it must remain organic, real, grounded.
I have developed a stripped down style that I feel is elemental and lush at the same time. I hope that you like it....
What are your greatest influences?

1000 Markets

2008-11-22T05:47:00.001-08:00

I just opened a shop at 1000 Markets, a brand new shopping venue that features artisan jewelry, clothing and art (and there's food too!).

Thanks so much metalology for including my "Three" Bangles!

On a Ring Trip!

2008-09-29T17:54:00.000-07:00

I have a major obsession with stone setting lately. I am still only making bezel set rings for myself right now (selfish selfish!!) and here are some of the fruits of my labor. There is nothing quite like a fantastic pointer finger ring :)

Fall 2008

2008-09-06T18:31:00.000-07:00

clean lines and color

Elements!

2008-08-18T18:48:00.000-07:00

I have opened a new shop on etsy, aptly called, mlcroots. This shop will feature handmade components that can be used by the artisan to create his or her own pieces. The elements are organic and timeless and form the "roots" of my work.

New Work

2008-08-18T18:28:00.001-07:00

Ideas based on elemental themes help to form the first pieces for Fall.

Amazing Etsy Artists

2008-07-18T19:40:00.000-07:00

Part of my obsession with ETSY revolves around the ability to find stunningly beautiful handmade design at your fingertips and being able get it in the blink of an eye. I can have clothing custom made to my specifications simply by asking.....unreal. I can have the most gorgeous pottery and bags straight from the designer's studio - wow. I can pay a graphic artist waaaay too little and get a truly inspired logo. I love ETSY.

I have bought several items from sandmaiden and have enjoyed the luxurious fit and feel and look. My loungewear is decidedly of the moment, sinfully comfortable and classic all at the same time.

I can't seem to go too long without a fix from treehouse28, with amazing creations that always fit perfectly (how does she do that?) and arrive on exactly the day she says they will.

nbcreative designed my logo and I love love love her style.

I am aching to pick up the new ultrasuede clutch from moop and since this is my birthday month, it will probably happen really soon (that's a justifiable excuse, right?)

I have the lotus pendant from Red Hot Pottery hanging ever so effortlessly in my home as well as a collection of Kim Westad porcelain pendants accenting some pictures in my living room. I want one of those nifty white vases.

I brighten up my white plates with wonderful batik printed napkins I found at margotbianca - and they only get better and softer with each washing.

All of these artists create truly special pieces, sans sweatshop labor - can't help but love that. I hope that you check them out. You will be glad you did.

While I take a much needed break, please enjoy 20% off many of my designs at http://mariecarter.etsy.com/. This sale will run from June 14th through June 21st.
Enjoy!

Silver and Gold

2008-05-11T08:59:00.000-07:00

I will be introducing some 10kt as an option in my core designs (simple circle series, music series, untamed heart series). I plan to combine the gold with both brightly polished and deeply oxidized sterling silver. I love metal! These designs are already available both in my etsy shop and on my website.

Pearl Ring Tutorial Published

2008-04-22T17:14:00.000-07:00

A tutorial that I wrote a while ago has been published. It is a thrill to be a part of Beading with Pearls, published by Lark Books. My tutorial is the "Whirlwind" (aka Sea Life) ring. My hope is that this tutorial will encourage the beginner metalsmith to learn to wrap wire neatly and incorporate pearls into a design.

Playing with Space

2008-03-30T04:40:00.000-07:00

I love playing with positive and negative space. I like the idea of jewelry being elemental and natural, but still there. Much of my work in recent weeks has focused less on gems (aside from my ever present woven pendants and bracelets) and more on the metal on its own. Here are some of the designs that focus purely on the shape of metal.

Disc Rings

2008-03-10T18:19:00.000-07:00

There is something so appealing about disc rings to me. They are at once ancient and modern, classic and bohemian. They make a wonderful statement without being too much. I love sawing out each shape and stamping or hammering the designs. I love creating borders on the discs (or not) and I love pulling the finished product out of the tumbler...fantastic! I wear mine on my index finger but they look great on middle and ring fingers as well. Here are a few of the designs that I create over and over again. Some will find their way into my shop , others will be on my website .

Bangles!

2008-03-04T17:21:00.000-08:00

I really love bangles - mostly skinny, and either alone for a wonderfully spare and alluring look, or in multiples for a more casual and musical (literally) look. Here are some of my interpretations... Happy Spring!

Monthly Newsletter

2008-02-15T17:41:00.000-08:00

In addition to my ETSY shop, I also have a website that has most recently been updated by the ultra-talented nbcreative (http://nbcreative.etsy.com) .

A faceted rose quartz ring with a hammered shank and (gently) hammered bezel - a new favorite of mine.

Etsy Shop Review!

Charms Tutorial Published

2007-10-20T17:31:00.000-07:00

I am thrilled to see a tutorial that I wrote about a year ago finally in print :) I am honored to be a part of Katherine Duncan Aimone's Beading with Charms, published by Lark Books. Katherine is wonderful and made the entire experience fantastic. My tutorial is the "Olde World" charm necklace (2nd pic). My hope is that this tutorial encourages the beginner metalsmith to cut, file, drill and polish sheet metal.

Seeing this tutorial in print reminded me of other charm-focused pieces I have made, like my Onyx Briolette necklace (3rd pic). I plan on creating a couple of stellar charm designs for the holidays - who needs to sleep anyway? LOL

Obsessed with Weaving Gems!

2007-10-14T07:19:00.000-07:00

Lately, I have been fascinated with weaving little gemmy beads into sterling silver for a little punch of color. My designs generally have very clean lines with little ornamentation so I love the look of a simple row of little dots of color for embellishment. Here are some of the more recent creations. I have oxidized the metal for some of the designs in order to bring out the color of the gems. I will be adding more bangles (similar to my bangles tutorial that was published in Contemporary Bead & Wire Jewelry (Lark Books)) in the next few weeks.

All of the designs pictured are available at both http://www.mariecarter.com/ and http://mariecarter.etsy.com/ for purchase. I hope that you love viewing these necklaces and earrings as much as I loved making them!

Sterling Gesture

2007-08-10T15:22:00.000-07:00

A couple of years ago, my tutorial for a wrapped heart pendant was published in Step by Step Beads Magazine (Interweave Press). It has been published most recently in the Gifts for the Holidays issue for the same periodical. I had forgotten how special this little heart is to me...

Documenting an Artist's Process

2007-08-05T14:58:00.001-07:00

Here I will document my process and progress as a jewelry artist. I hope to share thoughts and pictures that will inspire others to follow their dreams.

I have been fortunate enough to have my work published. The tutorials that I have written have been aimed at the beginner jewelry artist, providing basic skills that can be used in all designs, both simple and complicated.
