Something Old...Something New

2008-10-20T10:52:00.000-07:00

Well, this was supposed to be a transfer of my old aol blog to the new blogger...and yes, all the text transferred, but none of the photographs of my jewelry designs transferred, I'm so sorry to say! So I've actually deleted most of the posts--since without pictures they don't work and started fresh with a new blog---http://rickievogesdesign.blogspot.com/ If you're interested in my portfolio of jewelry design work there is a fairly complete portfolio at www.beadartists.org/rickievogesdesign for my older designs from 2004 to 2007 or www.jewelryartists.org/rickievogesdesign for newer work starting with 2007.

It's likely I won't be using this blog much...just a memory of the past, but I'll try to make something interesting of my new blog that you'll want to see and hear!

Thanks and good bye!

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will enjoy looking around my site at some of my currently available designs, as well as the gallery of my past work. Please check out my galleries at BeadArtists.org-- http://www.beadartists.org/Gallery.asp?GalleryID=1042 for more detailed information about my designs and additional pictures. Drop me an email at rspv@aol.com if I can answer any questions and let me know how I can be of help. Typically new designs are posted weekly to the site, so stop by often to see what's new! I do custom orders, and workshops at my studio or yours in the Southern California area.

Everything here is one-of-a-kind. Occasionally I make something similar, but never an exact copy of my designs. I always use quality materials--artisan lampwork, sterling silver, 23kt vermeil, goldfilled, gemstones, freshwater pearls, swarovski crystals etc. If you find something you like, let me know and I can send you an invoice through paypal or arrange for a payment by a U.S. postal money order. I ship all over the world. All jewelry can be sized for no additional charge to you, for that perfect custom fit.

Have a wonderful day, and please come back soon!

SOME OF MY FAVORITE PLACES

2004-08-24T22:13:00.000-07:00

Just a little of my jewelry philosophy...and some wonderful links to please the eye---My current love is working with artisan designed lampwork beads, because they are individual, intricate and ever evolving. When you design a piece of jewelry with lampwork it is an original, one of a kind labor of love. Working in this media is a wonderful outlet for my creativity and there is so much to learn that I will be busy for a good while!

A special thanks goes to the wonderful lampwork artisans who inspire my mind and capture my fancy. Also special thanks to Kendra and her family for sharing their bountious knowledge of jewelry making. Thanks to my mother for her love of beauty and encouragement each and every day. And last but not least thank you to my precious family for supporting, encouraging and loving me through every new whim, flight of fancy, project and obsession along the way!

What could be more delightful than "playing" with wonderful lampwork artists beads all day and putting them into beautiful things towear and enjoy! Please, feel free to email me with any inquiries rspv@aol.com

Thank you for stopping by--I'd love to hear from you!

Some of the lampwork artists beads I use in my jewelry designs include: Jena Fulcher,Melanie Egan, Julie Wong, Dawn White, Gayle Hood, Holly Kempson, Catherine Howard, Donna Mehnert, Andrea Venschott, Suzanne Booth, Corina Tettinger, Sherry Bellamy, Carolyn Driver, Lily Dickson, Alicia Abla, Jennifer Gurganus, Kimberly Lynn, Donna Felkner, Kaye Husko, Robyn Knapp, Gina Beardsley, Manuela Wutschke, Melanie Moertel, Donna Millard,and more....deliciously divine lampwork to inspire my creative muse!
