Good Morning,
Today the blog shares Pantone's Color of the Year for 2017: Greenery. Bright, fresh and airy.
GREENERY
PANTONE 15-0343
A refreshing and revitalizing shade, Greenery is symbolic of new
beginnings.
Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days
of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew. Illustrative of
flourishing foliage and the lushness of the great outdoors, the fortifying
attributes of Greenery signals consumers to take a deep breath, oxygenate and
reinvigorate.
Greenery is nature’s neutral. The more submerged people are in modern life,
the greater their innate craving to immerse themselves in the physical beauty
and inherent unity of the natural world. This shift is reflected by the
proliferation of all things expressive of Greenery in daily lives through urban
planning, architecture, lifestyle and design choices globally. A constant on
the periphery, Greenery is now being pulled to the forefront - it is an
omnipresent hue around the world.
A life-affirming shade, Greenery is also emblematic of the pursuit of
personal passions and vitality.
What is the PANTONE Color of the Year?
A symbolic color selection; a color snapshot of what we see taking place in
our global culture that serves as an expression of a mood and an attitude.
We have lots of fun, fresh and fashionable Greenery items at The Alchemists Vessel shop.
Thank you for stopping in and having a look.
The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

Good Afternoon,
The blog is a little late today, we spent yesterday and most of this morning learning new weaves to entice, delight and surprise you.
Several of the attempts did not work, but undaunted, I will eventually learn those that have me stumped for the moment. The successes are always fun as well, and this simple and deceptively intricate weave is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
Commonly referred to as "Oops" it is also (technically) called European 4 in 1 Unbalanced and / or Reversing Bias 4 in 1. I like Oops best.
The weave makes a lovely mesh like-pattern, that reminds me very much of garter stitch in knitting. The tutorial called for 16g 1/4 ID rings. This makes a large, chunky piece that feels wonderful to the touch and can be created in single or multiple colors and a variety of metals.
Shown here in 16g 1/4" ID and 18g 5/32" ID. This weave can make a bold and bright statement or be sized down for a beautiful feminine and delicate band.
Shown here in the horizontal position as it would appear on your wrist. Bright and Anodized Aluminum in Dark Blue and Emerald Green create a pretty wave pattern down the center of the piece.
Shown vertically in Violet, here the Bright Aluminum is used as an edging creating a striking stripe of purple down the middle of the piece.
We are working on both sizes currently and hope to have them available in the shop soon.
Like what you see, but don't want to wait for the listings? Contact us today with you custom request and let's make something wonderful together.

Good Morning,
Today I have a look at what's happening in the studio. Never a dull moment, learning a new weave or pattern is always fun.
Chain Maille Wraps for cabochons.
Starting is a fairly simple affair, choose rings in a size that will hold the piece you are wrapping.
I found that positioning the last rings are the most difficult, but the results are worth the fiddling.
Working on finding more rings and cabochons that will soon be in the shop.

Good Morning,
Today I would like to touch on a subject that many fellow artists find hard to define. There is a question that all crafters and those that sell their wares to the public are asked on a constant basis "Did you make that?" and occasionally followed by "What do you do?" Now there's a toughie.
The answer to the first question is "yes"; the answer to the second is not that simple. I sat down the other day and asked my self that very question. What do I do? And the answer surprised me, because I'm not just a jewelry designer. If I was to write out what I do, like a resume, some of the positions I hold would be as follows:
CEO - Chief Executive Officer
President / Sole Proprietor
Accountant
Buyer
Operations Manager
Social Media / Marketing Manager
Advertisement
Production Manager
Sales Manager
Customer Service Representative
Mail Room
Janitorial Services (OK, that one is for fun, but I still have to clean up the studio).
As a one woman three ring circus, I do not have employees, these positions or more importantly their work falls to me, and only me. In there somewhere I am also the Jewelry Designer. When you own your own business, whether hobby or career you find yourself in one or more of these roles daily. You do more than you know.
So what do you do?
