Week 42: Acorn Porn

Something I've been meaning to do for a really long time is set up an Old Weston Etsy shop. I still haven't done it but I'm a little bit closer, thanks to the lovely Danijela Pruginic and her fantastic photographic talents. Here she is in action: Danijela photographed one of my nest pins earlier this year (it was a prize in the Toronto Craft Alert Crafty Slacker Giveaway) and I was so excited to see a professional product shot of my work that I had to get her to shoot everything, and she did! Not only do I love the pictures, but she was a doll to work with, an absolute peach (she even had snacks at her studio!) Here's one of the acorn shots (but you'll have to wait until the shop is open to see the rest):

Thanks, Danijela!

Hey there!

I just bought one of those necklaces at City of Craft.

When are you going to open up an Etsy shop? I'm sure you'd have lots of buyers!

Also, can you remind me what everything is made of? I'm doing a post on the necklace and want to make sure I get it right.

Thanks!

Hi Ginger! Glad you're enjoying your acorn. I'm hoping to have an Etsy shop open in the new year.

The acorn "caps" are gold-plated brass (the larger one is even cast from a real acorn cap), and the bottoms are fresh-water pearls and glass beads, with olive green swarovski crystals floating around them. I'd love to see your post!
