Shop Number 2, Clandestine plans In The Making (Shhh!) and New Works In Progress Too!

Where does the time go?
Artwork By Paula Harris - March 2013. 


We have been ultra busy in the Amethyst Studio this last fortnight. We have been busily creating new items for our summer collection, working on new canvasses and drawings for the original art works, and we have found a second online outlet for our wares.
Our work will now be available through our MISI store, you can see some of the items we have listed here on the widget at the side of this blog page (although please bear with us, the stock available on there is limited at the moment)

There are some exciting prospects in the pipeline for us and some of our fellow artists and crafty types over the next 12 months - we will be expanding the empire and edging ever closer toward world domination, although we can't go into too much detail about that right now,because the plans are all very hush-hush and secret so we'll keep it just between you and me for now, okay? :)
We will  however, be looking to include here some guest blogs and interviews from some of our friends who's work we know and love - so keep an eye out for that coming soon...

In the mean time, here are just some of the new works in progress and pieces we will be working on over the next few months

We have been racking our little designers brains to come up with some items that are more appealing to those who like accessories, but don't want anything too girly or bling. So, we are looking at designing a range around Hematite, Wood, Obsidian etc - incorporating a more masculine feel and hopefully appealing to a broader audience

Like everyone else, we are sick of the cold dreary days and are all looking forward to the summer. Our thoughts have turned to warm beaches and relaxing in the sunshine. This bracelet is made using elastic so that it will fit larger wrists, and is easy to get on and off. It is great for beach wear and would look great on tanned skin.....

Continuing the summer theme we are looking at using warm colours along side cooler silver and chrome tones. This wire wrapped piece will look great with a Maxi dress or gypsy top and is the epitome of boho style.


The copper coil necklace is evolving, we think that the addition of the focal piece has made this piece really pretty, again this style of necklace will complement practically any outfit and will look great against a tan. 


Sara and I have also been working our little socks making arrangements and new pieces for the summer events which are coming our way - the stock is growing daily! some of our new art pieces ( shown below) are already attracting attention on Facebook and Twitter, so we hope that when they are finished they will be sold in no time. 


This beautiful lady is going metallic! Best viewed in person, you can see the gold and silver high lights in her hair and the metallic purple background sets the whole thing off. She is set to be finished before the next blog so we should have a finished product to show you by then.

This canvass is started with an acrylic swirl background - some have suggested that the foreground needs to be a TARDIS - let us know what you think......

I have been playing with some sketches  and stencils (exploring a street art theme - watch this space for more on that!) and have framed some older pieces to bring them a little more up to date

This is a small clue to the next piece that I will be creating, again - keep an eye on the blog for updates and new work.

Along with all of this, we are including some fabric crafts in to our repertoire, but that is a whole other blog topic...
