Kuukivi is Trendi...

Trendi is a brand new site or as they call it "ultimate place to find fashionable clothing and accessories". Its a pretty cool site with cool features. you can pick your collection, vote on designs (magic or tragic or somewhere in between) to form the trend or simply browse products and make a list you would love to have (or have to have). Its quite different from lot of other fashion sites around.

Kuukivi is honored to be picked among the first phase of companies to be included into Trendi launch. Quite a few of Kuukivi designs are on Trendi voting list now and I am extremely happy to say that most of the designs are making into the "Magic" side of the trendi (meaning lot of people are voting it high and adding them to their online collection/wish lists). Some of the designs that became magic include "Peacock", "Maala", my favorite "Dream", almost all the multi-layer designs. Check them out on Kuukivi or Trendi.

hammering....fusing....riveting...

I haven't blogged in quite a while. One of the reasons being to see if it will stop the spam comments I have been getting on the blog. Everytime there is a new blog, in a few hours, there are comments with a link to click which goes to some spam site. Got tired of deleting them often (and another one comes back when I delete) so thought if I don't add new blog posts for a little while, maybe, hopefully this site will get out of their range. I really don't want the readers to click on one of those awful spam sites by mistake.

And I have been taking classes learning new skills. When I created the circle designs for the summer collection, I used pre-made rings knowing that really soon I will be able to create them really really soon. now I am all ready with new shapes and designs all handcrafted by me finally:) realized that I really love working with all these tools and the satisfaction of seeing them integrated into my designs is just soo good.

tax week

ofcourse even though we know this week is tax week, quite a few of us put it till the last minute and in my case actually filed for an extension:) but atleast did all the preliminary work and so can concentrate on other things like blogging....starting tomorrow:)

until then.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

earrings coming this weekend

a few of the earrings that will be online this weekend. I started working with hoops and they are lot of fun to work with. ofcourse there are a few circle shape earrings too but I love this gold filled hoops with a big green onyx drops.

Style and Dream collections online..

Finally got the designs online. Not 100% satisfied with all images but most of them came out good. Changed the image size (thumb nail and the big images) but the old ones are still a bit small. Still need to work on those tomorrow. Couldn't get the half dozen or so new earring designs online yet. Images came out good. just need to get them on the website..probably by end of tomorrow the rest of the images can be fixed and the earrings come online. Phew!!

This is one of myf avorite "Style" designs with a fancy pendant and the Sapphire drops just fit perfectly into the necklace.

Check out both Style and Dream collections.

Appel&Frank pics

We went to the Appel&Frank show and realized that I forgot the steppers I planned to use to display the designs at different heights and the camera to take pictures. Our neighbor exhibitor Sarah graciously took a few pictures and send them today. Thank you so much Sarah.
That's Savita who came to help me out at the show. Thank you dear

The summer collection that I am still trying to get on the web

Ovalcoral

Ok Ok..when I said this years summer designs are all about circles (and multi layers), I included oval drops (and rectangles and rhombuses) shapes too into the category...Here's one design that has two Silver drop shaped rings connected to the chain. A natural red coral hanging in between and a few rectangle coral beads on just one side to make it modern yet give a tinge of color and brightness.

have a nice weekend and a great Easter everyone...
