earCandy at Alloy Gallery

My schedule has been very hectic with shows and events happening through the end of the year. I have been meaning to write a blog post and the lazy me has finally gotten around to it. Apologies for my tardiness.

I was pleased to participate in the invited show "earCandy" at Alloy Gallery in Newport, RI. The show, ear candy, is meant to be simple, fun and very affordable. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend the opening night because I was in Korea. : ) When I receive some photos from the show, I will upload them here.

Alloy Gallery is a contemporary jewelry showplace located in the historic downtown of Newport, Rhode Island.

Mara Mejo with Long Post

In 2010, I was invited to LOOT, an exhibition at the Museum of Art and Design in NYC. At that time, I wanted to bring new work to the show, so I took my time to focus and develop my studio work. While I was in the process of exploring form using Velcro, the Mara Mejo came about naturally. When we participated in the fall and holiday risd sales event that followed, the Mara Mejo with Long Post became our best selling item both times!

The name of this piece, Mara, means to roll and Mejo means to link together in Korean.
This version of Mara takes on the function of a pair of earrings, hence the addition of "with Long Post" to the "Mara Mejo" name. It is made of Velcro and Sterling Silver, measures about 1.25 inch (3.5 cm) in diameter, and comes in different variations in colors and sizes.

So we are pleased to finally feature the Mara with Long Post on our online store. We also added the Gorrow and Mara Gahma, both with Long Post, in our collection as well. I will make a separate post about Gorrow with Long Post soon. Please take a look. http://getsublime.com Hope you enjoy them.

RISD Alumni Holiday Sale

The RISD Alumni Holiday Sale took place on the 4th of Dec, 2010 at the Rhode Island convention center in Providence.

This was our first time participating in this event, and I have to say, I was very surprised to see a long line of people waiting to get in, even before the doors opened! Wow! What a great way to start the day! : ) The sale went on to 5pm, but most of the sales had slowed down to a halt by around 4pm. It made me wonder what it would be like if the day was kept a little bit shorter (i.e. end at 3:30pm or 4:00pm), and, instead, went on for two days instead of one. Everyone had spent so much time bringing their work to the event and setting them up, that having a one day sale seemed too short.

Other than that, we had a really wonderful experience at the event! We sold quite a few of Mara Mejo at this sale! Mara Mejo seems to be the most popular item of the season right next to our classic Mara, which always does well. ( We haven't had a chance to put Mara Mejo up on our Website, but if you're curious be sure to check out the photos below. )

We would like to thank the organizers, and of course all you who came to the event! Thank you so much everyone! Happy holidays!

2010 RISD Fall Alumni Art sale

We just had an amazing day at the RISD Fall Alumni Art sale. This time was our second round! It was a beautiful sunny day! How lucky to have the sunny day after 3-4 rainy days in a row! Our spot was across the RISD museum!!

There were soooo many people since it was parents' weekend, and the last water fire in Providence! What great reasons to be at the RISD Alumni Art sale in Providence! I also noticed that the RISD Alumni Art sale already had a great reputation for Art and Craft Lovers. So customers are coming from all over the states!

This time, I expected to use the credit card reader from Square up. But!!!! Unfortunately, the credit card reader for the iPad hadn't been delivered yet. It's been almost 10 days since I received an email that my Square card reader has been shipped!. So I had to use the Square App by typing the credit card number! Even though it took a little more time to type the number and to get the customer's finger touch signatures, it was a great opportunity to use it when my customers asked me "Can I use my credit card?". What a nice feeling! I said! Sure!!!! That was a fun experience!

I just found out the fact that there are different processing fees for Swiped transactions and Keyed in transactions. The keyed-in is expensive! oh well.. For the next time, I would love to use the reader! Hope i will receive the reader soon!

Here are some photos from the sale. I only have a few photos since we were really busy.. Thanks all for coming!!! Thank you for your supports! It was great to see you all there! Many many thanks to my amazing partner, promoter and mental supporter, Slim too!
