Front page of The Daily Break

Hello,

There was an article about me on the front page of The Virginian Pilot's The Daily Break section!  The article was all about my senior degree project from school and my appearance in ELLE Magazine.  I had no idea I would be on the cover so I was really happy, thank you to Jamesetta Walker who wrote the article and to everyone who read it and enjoyed it!  Here is a photo of the front page (by the way kudos to the layout people, it looks awesome):

Here's a video of my piece on the runway!

A family member took some clips of my piece on the runway, so hopefully you can see how it moves!  It isn't great quality, but you get the idea...

ELLE and RISD Fashion Next Show in NYC

I just got back from going to fashion week at the Lincoln center in NYC.  My work was in the ELLE and RISD Fashion Next Show!

To see the Show go to:

To vote for the People's Choice Award go to:

To see the photo that ELLE's photographer took of my piece go to:
http://www.elle.com/Fashion/Fashion-Spotlight/Fashion-Forward/(imageIndex)/19/(play)/false

It was really interesting being behind the scenes and getting to see my work on the runway.  I got to be backstage as they did the hair, makeup, and dressed the first models at which point we needed to go up to take our seats.  I am really glad I was backstage to help get my piece on the model, because it is a confusing piece:

To see more images of this piece go to: http://www.flickr.com/photos/traceywilder/

My model was very sweet and easy to work with and her walk was great for the piece, I was lucky to have her honestly.  Seeing the piece go down the runway was the best part because I made the piece for myself so I had never seen it move on someone else.  It surprises most people to find out that a lot of the piece is actually flexible because it is made with sterling silver snake chain in some parts which look like wire, but it is flexible.

Fashion week was really crowded and the Project Runway Show Finale was going on in the building next to where our show was happening at the same time.  Overall it was an interesting experience and I am really looking forward to seeing the article in the October issue of ELLE for their 25th Anniversary.   Thank you to anyone who vote, I would really appreciate it!

Forgot to Mention: website

Hi,
I forgot to mention in my last post that the new design for my website will be going up in the next week, or at least some of it will be up, so here is a look at the layout as it will soon be!

Also I will be putting up some postings on my etsy soon, so take a look at those later this weekend if you like.  I will post on my facebook page and here again when they are up^.^

-T. Wilder

ps. The background illustrations were done by Ashley Dessi who is a very good Illustrator.  If you want to check out her work go here: http//ashleydessi.blogspot.com/

I will be changing the jewelry on the background girls from time to time once the website is up, so look out for that once it is up.

New Work

Hey everyone,
I am working on new pieces for the Way of the Warrior Collection: a belt, bracelet, and neck piece.  They are gonna be made of nickel, gunmetal chains, black screens, black leather, purple suede, and blue string.  The pieces are based on Tibetan Armor and Samurai Armor but twisted in a softer direction to make them a bit more feminine, but still with a harder edge.  I will hopefully have pictures of those pieces coming up this week^.^

New Business Cards

I just got back my new business cards from Overnightprints.com and I am really happy with them.  They were printed and shipped really quickly and they look great.  They didn't even have to arrive until the 30th for the shipping I got, so they were early too.  These are images of the front and back of the card:

These are just the images, but when I got them printed I had the corners rounded and both sides given a gloss and it all works pretty well.

Just Starting Up

Hey Everyone!

I am just starting this blog up along with trying to streamline and fix up my website, etsy,  and facebook page.  This blog will be where I can go further into detail about new ideas for collections, pieces that I am working on right now, places where the jewelry can be found, and general talks about trends in jewelry.  Hopefully I will be able to update this blog twice a week, so if anyone has any questions, suggestions, or anything feel free to comment and ask away!
