Earth Day Celebration

Happy Earth Day (Monday) everyone!!!  Growing up on a farm, everyday is Earth Day at my house.  I am excited to share my love for planting trees, flowers, and vegetables with my little ones now.  Since the kids are old enough, Sunday's are nature walk day at local State Parks or even in our own woods.  It is so special to share our love of earth's creatures with our children and hopefully raise their awareness of the importance of keeping the world healthy and clean.

I have always tried to be eco-conscious in my crafting by not over buying, sharing destash items with other artists.  I even send my sterling silver clippings to fellow Etsy Artist The Lovely Smith...she makes gorgeous Pebble Rings from some of the scrap!  New Etsy shop Timber Woods Wares is the marvelous creator of my jewelry stands and displays...all made from recovered wood or old fence boards!  How eco friendly!

This year I have been able to pass my love of nature and recycling on to my small business thanks participation with The Artisan Group!  This Earth Day the team is gifting an amazing list of eco-conscious celebrities and goody bag full of  handmade artisan items created largely from recycled, repurposed, reused or otherwise "green" materials and processes.

This year's recipients will be Hayden Panettiere, Ginnifer Goodwin, Edward Norton, Adrian Grenier, Kate Bosworth, P!nk, Leonardo DiCaprio, Rachel McAdams, Emily VanCamp, Woody Harrelson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Daryl Hannah, Malin Akerman, Ted Danson, Orlando Bloom, Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Hartnett, Sting, Barbra Streisand, Alicia Silverstone, Courteney Cox, Cameron Diaz, Sheryl Crow, Mark Ruffalo, and Natalie Portman!

I decided to gift handcrafted needle felted wool keepsake bowls from Sweet Pea Boutique.  Each bowl is made from 100% natural wool harvested in the US on an eco friendly family farm in Michigan.

These sweet little bowls would make lovely wedding or party favors, unique and useful.  They are the perfect place to set little keepsakes or rings.  Each bowl was gifted in a stamped muslin bag.  Please check out other handmade wool and needle felted items in my shop www.SweetPB.etsy.com

Huge thank you to The Artisan Group!!!

I cannot thank The Artisan Group and Valerie enough for all of the amazing support and unbelievable opportunities they have provided me.

It is such an honor that I am the feature artist today on The ArtisanGroup blog!!! Please check it out!

Celebrities LOVED Julie Ellyn Designs Gemstone Cuffs at the GBK Oscars Gift Lounge

I am so happy that I had the opportunity to showcase my jewelry at the coveted GBK Oscars Celebrity Gifting Suite held at 22-23 February in Beverly Hills, California as a member of The Artisan Group (an elite art promotions group).

Several celebrities posed for a professional photograph wearing one of my gemstone cuffs!

Camilla Luddington, wearing the Onyx and Magnesite cuff is a new resident on Grey's Anatomy and her roles in True Blood, Californication, and Tomb Raider video game.

I guess Penny Marshall liked them all because she posed with my entire display! :)  Penny Marshall is best know for her lead role in Laverne and Shirley.

Other celebrities in attendance included Tempest Bledsloe (Guys with Kids), Kristen Hager (Being Human), Dilshad Vadsaria (Revenge, Greek), Jayson Blair (The New Normal), and many others.

New Spring designs are coming soon!!! Check out my shop at www.JulieEllynDesigns.etsy.com

Getting Ready for the OSCARS!!!!

I am thrilled to announce that Julie Ellyn Designs, in association with The Artisan Group*, will participate in a luxury celebrity gift lounge hosted by GBK Productions on February 22-23, 2013 at an exclusive location in Beverly Hills, CA, in honor of the 2013 Academy Awards Nominees and Presenters.

How did I get ready for this amazing opportunity??? Well, it took a lot of hard work and love! I made 100 leather and gemstone bracelets to be gifted in the coveted The Artisan Group Celebrity Swag Bag (see photo below). 

At the gift lounge, to be held February 22-32, the celebrity guests will have an opportunity to try one of my leather and gemstone cuffs!  I selected four of my favorite styles. Note: Amazing, rustic bracelet holder designed by TimberWoodsWares of Etsy.

Here is a peak inside one of the gift boxes! I gifted a variety of bracelet styles include single wraps from my new Unisex Line as well as double and triple wraps and gemstone cuffs!

Stay tuned for pictures of Celebrities trying on my jewelry!!!

Even more exciting...yesterday I found this new promo photo for the season 4 return and it is a picture of Nina Dobrev/Elena wearing my bracelet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry for all of the exclamation points but I can hardly contain myself!) 

 

Of course Nina Dobrev is absolutely stunning so most will not notice the accessories. But I sure did! LOL  What do you think?

I cannot wait to see the bracelet "live" in action on February 7th when Episode 13 airs (just read the spoiler alert!!!  Rats! That is a week later than I expected!!!)

 

At least you can look at the Elena bracelet now :)

 

The count down begins! 3 weeks until...
