Viva BirdsEye!

I've been thinking lately, and my little hiatus from jewelry making has only affirmed my desire to design and create jewelry.  I miss it.  The longer my sad Etsy shop remains empty the more anxious I get.  Mainly because I worked hard at finding the ins and outs of Etsy, searching for the cheapest yet highest quality of metal, and don't even get me started on my research of oxidization....I have some new and fresh ideas, I've got to regroup and get back in there!

It really makes me happy when someone likes my stuff enough to buy it.  Its not about the money, (thankfully)  it really is about creating something that someone else likes just as much as me.  Brent always teases me because I tend to have the reaction of "oh, you like it? really?  have it. its yours." 

Making jewelry is more than that for me though, its kind of a reminder of who I was and who I am now.  wow, sorry to get all Emo on you but seriously back when I was just teenager Markelle, I wanted to create my own jewelry line and be a successful designer. 

So now when I find myself with so many other roles to maintain I enjoy playing out my adolescent dream.

why am I rambling about my fallen life's ambition? 

because sometimes it helps to talk, I mean write about it.  

and I also wanted to get any input I could on my business name...BirdsEye Jewelry

Is it a solid name?  I loved it at first because of the "eye" part.  It was about jewelry catching your eye. lame? and then paired with a peacock feather for the eye of the feather.  However now I feel like birds have become trendy and sometimes I think of the frozen vegetable brand in your local grocers freezer.

  

anyhoo, I don't hate the name I'm merely wondering what you all think. (all five of you)

If I did change it, I was thinking about something more classic like my name or some version of it.
