Aya Perry website up and running!

It has been a long hard road but it's finally up and running. I've been working on my website for a long time trying to get it to look just right. The work is not over but the basics are done and it feels amazing. I'm finally out of class and I have the time I need to devote to my business. With the help of all my friends, family and customers and most of all God I know this business can be successful. So go and check out www.ayaperry.com and pick up something nice for yourself or someone you love. Love you all and God bless.

Golden Leaf Wristlet

Golden Leaf Wristlet
Originally uploaded by Aya, a name for a bird

Good morning all. I have been working on a wristlet design for the past couple of weeks and last night I finally finished it. Yeah, I’m so excited, can you tell! Now these little pretties will be going into production in the next couple of weeks and I’ll be making about 6-8 pieces. I will be posting these to etsy http://ayaperry.etsy.com so be looking out for them or if you don’t want to leave things up to chance you can reserve one.

Hello all,
Just to update the progress of my Aya Perry collection. I’ve sent my jewelry off to Chicago this week and already customers are starting to buzz. My Sales Manager, Tiffany Akinmuko, reports that even before the pieces could be presented to the public, merchandize has been snapped up by observers.

Next I’ll be working hard to get my website and online store up and running. So all those who have visited my etsy site http://ayaperry.etsy.com and saw zero merchandise, please be patient it will be up and running for the Christmas season. And as always you can view my work on flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pepperedmint if you see anything you like just shoot me an email or comment and I’ll be sure to get back to you.

Magazine Holders

Ok. So you know how you can never find any cute magazine holders or the cute ones that you do like cost so much. Ok yeah, I made some. Don't be jealous! Yes I made me some magazine holders from scratch and they are soooooo cute. This is what I love about being a crafty kinda gal, what ever you can't find you can make. Check me out!

I'm Back!

How sweet it is to be back. I've been away for a long time; doing a lot of soul searching. I was questioning my creativity. "Should I continue to be an artist and designer or should I do something more practical?" This proved to be a very dangerous question which caused me to walk away from my creative pursuits for about a year. "What changed?" you may ask. I found out how difficult it really is to deny who you are. I am a creative spirit so if I cannot live without air, I cannot live without creating. I have made my peace and drawn a line in the sand. Now that I've made this defining decision in my life I have turned over a new leaf and have jumped in with both feet.

I have started a new store at zazzle www.zazzle.com/ayaperry with only a couple of designs for now but more to come so check it out and check back often. I'm also in the process of creating some new handmade goodies for my new etsy so be looking out for that (it's still under construction but it will be up before the Christmas season). As always you can check out my design portfolio on my flickr (the link is at the left).

So there you have it folks, Aya Perry is back in the game. Watch out baby cause' here I come!
