2011-05-03T07:42:00.000-05:00

Just finished making a bunch of Queen Bee Necklaces. Get your's here.

size matters

2010-11-13T22:27:00.000-06:00

Don't let any one tell you other wise...

SIZE DOES MATTER!

Things to think about...

Less characters == bigger (taller) necklace

More characters == smaller (shorter) necklace

Above example:
Less characters == bigger (taller) necklace

Above example:
More characters == smaller (shorter) necklace

Above example:
Try 2 lines for the perfect balance...

Little Monster Bling

2010-08-01T19:04:00.002-05:00

Last week I wore my blingy "Little Monster" necklace to the Lady Gaga concert. I also made one for my sister..:) We got quite a few compliments! We enjoyed looking at all the crazy dressed up people in their costumes. I loved my sisters outfit..she dressed as Gaga as Larry (from her Larry King Live interview)..so she was dressed up as Gaga & Larry?!

I also wore the lightning bolt earrings (in mirror silver). Can you see how shiny they are? Little mirrors on my ears. And one of the new Big Rock Cocktail Ring (smoke) (but you can't see it ;p).

I didn't get too many pics..here's the few that did come out semi-decent.

Lady Starlight. She was wearing a fringe bikini top with what looked like leather pants? Her outfit was reminiscent of Gaga from the "Telephone" video.

Semi Precious Weapons..I liked Justin's makeup.

Gaga!

Gaga shadow..lol.

hi

2010-06-08T01:10:00.004-05:00

has it really been a month since i've blogged? (yup). omg.

have you noticed...i've been trying to make at least 1 new product a day.

i failed yesterday...actually i made 2 new products yesterday, but by the time i finally got around to putting them on the website..it was time for sleep.

hopefully..soon enough..

2010-04-23T22:54:00.003-05:00

EDIT: I finished up all these, and put them up on my site :)

now resides in our garage.

Office Max Haul

2010-04-19T22:32:00.006-05:00

Yea an Office MAx haul. NOT a M.A.C. haul. Or a CHINA GLAZE HAUL. LOL. Went today to just get an "eye-fi" card. Apparently NB has been telling me about these things for years? IDK about that...but I guess I finally listened.

These eye-fi things are amazing. I would definitely recommend these to peeps like me who take alot of pics. It transmits pics from your camera to your computer using a wifi connection. I HATE taking pics and taking about the sd card...and then putting it back when I'm done. It's so much work for me, and then sometimes I'll mis-place the sd card. Ugh. You can read more about them...just google it cause I don't feel like explaining too much.

and a mouse...I've broken SEVERAL of these over the past 4 years. I've gone through at least 10. Seriously. Anyways this was a cheapy $15 one.

A calculator cause I don't like using NB's grubby one from the 80's.

Pink headphones cause the ones that I got from my itouch finally went out.

and also not pictured...a huge box of printer paper.

oh and the warranty the cashier sneaked in there. LMFAO.

Custom Necklaces are back up!

2010-04-16T20:21:00.005-05:00

Had to take a small break...but they are back up on nbscloset.com

I wish you could see how gross my nails look from all the peeling & jumpring-ing. Isn't that something...I'm a nailpolish fanatic but I don't get to admire my nails too long after a manicure. :( My nails take quite a beating from all the "handiwork".

I'm trying to find another sketchbook so I can post more pics. My only rule..I'll only be posting pics of stuff I've actually completed. Why? Because I have alot of ideas that still need to come to fruition. Meanwhile I'll leave you with this vintage gem I made.

Zebra print Earrings & Necklace & sketch

2010-04-15T12:10:00.007-05:00

Zebra print sketch...

and end product we have a necklace & earrings:

Heart Hoop Earrings & sketch

2010-04-14T19:49:00.005-05:00

'Ember when I said I would share sketches...I finally broke out the scanner. This is my sketch for the "heart hoop earrings".

I drew this up with sparkly gel pens, that I couldn't capture in the scan. Oh well. Yea I can't draw...that's why I'm calling it a sketch. lol.

and here's the outcome....

Did you know...

2010-04-11T16:52:00.006-05:00

We now carry gold chain...well not REAL gold chain (I wish!) I just ordered some more, as I only have 1 more spool left. :)

We have been busy with the new puppy. She is like a newborn baby. Practically. She pees n poops everywhere...and whines, and always needs attention. It's almost disgusting. LOL. Just kiddin'..not. Anyways she has been keeping us sooo busy.

Oh...and have you signed up for our newsletter? I just sent one out...I'll be sending another round of newsletters probably later on in the week.

There's a link on my web page:

Well hope you are having a good weekend. Mine started kinda late...checked my p.o. box..and there was 1 sad lonely check... ;p I'm going to work on getting customs together, there's about 5 or 6 that are ready to ship.

New stuff available at NBSCLOSET.COM He *exclusively* sells WOOD necklaces! Yay. Look for more strange things to come from him.

Strange? Like this High Dee Necklace...this is her PRE surgery. LOL.

My faves have to be the zebra print heart earrings. My mom really liked them. She came over & bought the first pair!

BIGGIE KNUCKLES Necklace

2010-01-12T22:50:00.004-06:00

Made these knuckles a while ago for my sister's friend. Thought I would share some pics that have yet to see the light of day!

These were 5" wide. The black knuckles are about 3" wide.

Website down for a short break :)

2010-01-04T15:09:00.004-06:00

CBTSCLOSET.COM & Wholesale are down for a short break. Just catching up on orders, & getting ready to move in a couple of days (by this weekend?). There's been so much running around getting the new place ready to move into (thanks to the previous tenants LOL).

Anyways....
We will be back shortly (meaning by tomorrow I hope :) Thanks for your patience!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2010-01-01T16:14:00.003-06:00

Been super busy, so I haven't had time to update this! :(

Anyways there's lots of new products to come! In order to get NEW products up, we are not doing custom necklaces for the next month or so! :) Much needed break, and I'm finally getting to execute ideas I've had written down/in mind head for a LONG TIME! :)

Yipppeee :)

Rainbow Scene Objects Charm Bracelet BACK IN STOCK

2009-12-05T04:53:00.003-06:00

Alot of peeps have been askin' for the Scene Objects Bracelets! They are back in stock! It took long enough ;-p I know! I had to "run" each color ROY G BIV if you can imagine it took long for me to get to it!

For now I made enough for 10 bracelets. So get them quick!

Bling

2009-11-29T14:53:00.005-06:00

I added a new section to CBTSCLOSET.COM! Simply titled BLING. Genuine Swarovski crystals! I get into these moods of wanting to glue swarovski...so these are the results:

I was also working on a "I bleed Labels" necklace with swarvoski. These things take forever to complete, I can't ever imagine blinging every single piece! Too much time & effort...and I don't have that much time! ;-p LOL

HUGE Custom Necklaces

2009-11-25T09:00:00.003-06:00

Here's a HUGE necklace I made....this is 5" wide. Alot of people have been getting the biggie size upgrades! Bigger is better is the consensus...

I don't think I could EVER wear anything so big. I'm too shy for that ;-p

What is the biggest piece of jewelry you've ever worn? Or do you prefer smaller jewelry? I guess it just depends on the person. I was flipping through magazines, and it seems like the trend is small/charm like jewelry.

New items! Suggestions anyone?

2009-11-23T15:13:00.003-06:00

I'm working on lots of new items...another bracelet, more necklaces/earrings. For obvious reasons I won't post what they are just yet, but if you have any suggestions let me know!

Anyways what are you doing for Thanksgiving? This year I'm heading over to my parents. I'm also going to make yams, which I'm getting the recipe from NB's mom. She makes the best yams ever! Every year I always get 2nds...well more like 3rds LOL.

Gaga Monster Necklace

2009-11-22T13:34:00.005-06:00

Check out this necklace I made...I have a couple of other ideas brewing in my head for Gaga fans.

Customer is wearing the 5" version here, with Gaga. :)
