Hi everyone!
It's been a pretty hectic week so far but it's been good! Doing lots of photo shoots and working away in the studio!
Just letting everyone know that I finally got up more options for the pendants. You can choose what kind of chain you'd like as well as the length (the stock finally came in yesterday).
Also finally started putting up some wire wrap rings now that stock's in. Still not doing sterling silver yet because I want to be sure I can get stones that will allow me to do all sizes.
International shipping: Finally was able to talk to a very nice employee at USPS and now I know what will work best for international shipping. I want to do a trial package of a couple items to double-check the weight but shipping will be less that $15 and through First Class shipping. I'm tentatively hoping to be offering international shipping to select countries starting Thursday.

Studio Updates
Hi everyone!
Hope you've all been well. Things have been good in the studio! Went to a great trunk show and got some fantastic semi-precious stones (including some very nice jade). Kind of sad that I have to wait an entire year to get the stones again.
The studio's finally licensed for business...which means having to look into taxes, sole proprietorship, and all that lovely jazz. I know the basics but I want to be sure I know the ins and outs even though I did bunches of research before getting licensed. It also means I need to reorganize my books and update my business plan. The more I look into stuff, the more I realize that my books are
Considering another convention booth
Hi everyone!
Been a while since I posted a journal entry. Lots has been happening, mostly jewelry design but also have a 12 year old apprentice working in the studio with me once a week. That's been loads of fun. She's definitely got ideas and loves rocks! :D
Also considering a booth at a new convention. It'd mean a lot of work, traveling, and not to mention taking time off my day job but it's definitely interesting. It's Alaska's first steampunk convention. Steampunk's not really my forte so to speak (I find it interesting but not entirely into it) and my jewelry's far from the genre, but it keeps haunting me. Like literally, two people ha
Now accepting Paypal
Hey everyone!
I'm now accepting Paypal in my Etsy store. Pretty sure I got all the kinks worked out. But I didn't realize that I was leaving a lot of countries out when I was just using Direct Checkout. Whoops.
Nine-Mile Studios also has a Facebook page now. /ninemilestudios
Also still posting up jewelry here. There's more on Etsy. And still designing new jewelry as well.
Anyways, that's all the new news for now!

Now Shipping Worldwide
I finally found a baseline for most shipping around the world so now I'm shipping worldwide off Etsy! Pretty stoked about it and freaked out at the same time.
But still have a lot of work to do. I have to make my own shipping boxes to keep the international pricing consistent but that's totally fine. I work at a place where we recycle empty boxes all the time and most of them are made of cardboard that would work perfectly. And now that I've designed a template for the boxes, they can be cut, folded, and made in about 5 minutes or so.
And I totally need to update. I've got lots of stuff in my shop that's not on dA yet :o
Happy Monday eve

I've always wondered...what kind of rules are there to chains? I have some chainless fancy pendants and I never know how to properly hang them.
