Well, I will share with you the cool places I have been in the past week:
It all began when dazzled with the and showed off the The best part was that on both sites very nice things were said about little ole' me and Manic Trout. If you visit the site you may also enter a sweepstakes to win Bling Rings!!!
Some of the very nice things:
"Are you in the mood to break away from the pack? Can’t say we blame you, sometimes we just want something a little different from the mainstream. Meet artist and jewelry designer Sierra Bailey, who owns her own independent business selling both her hand-made jewelry and expressionist art. We happened to fall in love with her collection of funky and distinct cocktail rings, as they’re perfect for turning a plain-jane ensemble into one that really pops! "
Then the turned up in the May 2010 edition of Pregnancy & Newborn!!:
Oh wait, there's more...as if that was not all awesome enough...Manic Trout was featured in last weeks as #2 in the Chick Picks!!!
More nice things were said over in Portland about the ...
Our accessory obsession knows no bounds—we have rings for every finger—and all of our neighbors’ fingers—but we still find ourselves falling in love with new pieces.
Happily, Manic Trout has pretty little baubles for next to nothing, so we can load up on fun costume jewelry without breaking the piggy bank open. This “Lauren” Zsa Zsa Bling Ring is our new favorite—the color, the casual setting, the price—it’s all so right!
Whew, what a week...thank you all for the shout outs!
In all the excitement of Halloween, I forgot to share that I had a ring in Life & Stye Magazine this week, Yay!

It’s like magic for product photography…
Last Summer I went to the Time Out NY offices to be photographed and interviewed while making a Button Ring for their . It was fun to be interviewed in person, when so often its through email or on the phone these days, and I had a great time goofing around with Rachel and Roxana during the shoot. I also realized that you should NEVER walk around Manhattan all day in the summer months and then be photographed for a magazine without putting some effort into how you look...but thats for an entirely different post!
The point of this post is that I discovered a great secret for product photography that day, which I promptly forgot about until about 14 months later...but I did finally remember, ordered some last week and its AWESOME!!
The secret is...wait for it...White Plexiglass. Magic. I now use a light tent, fabric background, 4 lights, a tripod digital camera, manequin and now a piece of plexiglass...but the amount of time I have to spend in photoshop keeps growing smaller!
