OCEAN/BEACH INSPIRED JEWELRY TREE

Hi everyone! It feels like I haven't been here in a while, although it's only been about a week. I have been very busy, thanks to all the holiday shoppers (thank you for all the shopping guys!). Although I have been very busy, I wanted to take a little breather and talk about one of the jewelry trees I made a while ago that actually sold last night (yay)!

This is one of my all time favorite trees, so I was a little sad to see it go, hahaha. I'm sure someone else will give it the love and attention i couldn't because I don't have enough jewelry to hang on every tree I happen to love. I created this jewelry tree thinking of great summer days at the beach and sand all over my toes as I walk the beach sides. I wanted this tree to remind you of that summer vacation in Hawaii (if you've gone there, if not, in whatever awesome beach you've gone to). I wanted it to bring you back to those awesome moments you had relaxing, sunbathing, enjoying everyone's company and just soaking up the sun!

I used a lot of elements of the sea. I started the tree off with some beautiful twisty branches to give it the look of corals or any underwater plant and painted them with turquoise paint. I then painted the vase a vintage white and sanded the corners just a bit so it looks old and distressed, sort of like if you found it laying around on the beach after a wave left it there. I added peach colored swirls to the vase and then sealed it with a special gloss to seal the beautiful handcrafted paint. I then put the tree together and topped off the vase with lots of little smooth pebbles and tiny seashells. I finished the jewelry tree off with hanging seashells and a very pretty starfish on the tree.

I had tons of fun making this jewelry tree and when finished, I wanted to keep it, although that would defeat the purpose of sharing my work with the rest of the world. 

ATUMN JEWELRY TREE

Sometimes, nature inspires me to think of great designs. Something about knowing that you get to experience Autumn, for example, a few months a year inspires me to create it physically in something I can  have all year round. This is how the following tree, one of my all time favorite designs happened:

Since Autumn is one of my favorite stations of the year, I get so happy when it comes around. I love getting dressed for the colder weather with my favorite colored scarves, going outside to look at the falling leaves, make a pile of leaves and then jump on them just to see them all fly away from me as I land on the pile. I love seeing nothing but orange, brown and yellow around me as I walk around the neighborhood.
Autumn was the inspiration behind this jewelry tree. I wanted to capture the look of a fall tree with this design. That is why I chose to add the little river rock stones on the top of the vase, I felt it would give it an earthy look. I added these awesome fall leaves to add to the look and then I painted the vase a beautiful chocolate brown vase(Get it? Hot chocolate in fall? Chocolate brown for the vase of an autumn jewelry tree? Hehe, it's ok if you don't). I then finished it off with a fall leave print on each wall of the vase and then topped the tree off with a couple of giant orange hanging jewels.
There you go, that is the story to that jewelry tree : ) Let me know what you think.

TURQUOISE AND BLACK JEWELRY TREE

Have you ever been inspired by a color so much that you can't get it out of your head? That's the relationship I have with the color turquoise, for some reason. I love how the color looks with everything, but I especially like the way it looks with this jewelry tree. You will actually see this color come up frequently in my collection because of my collection! Take a look at this jewelry tree's picture:

I chose to make this jewelry tree a turquoise tree with a black and glitter vase. I felt like going a little simple with the design to make the branches pop all on their own. I topped off the vase with clear sea glass to make it look a little nicer and then topped off the design with a couple of giant hanging jewels. I really like the shape of the branches, it kind of looks like a wish bone if you as me, hahaha.
This kind of jewelry tree would look so good in a loving home who will appreciate it for its beauty and charm. Anyone who is interested in adopting this beautiful jewelry tree will be happy to have a new addition to their decor and love the way it shows off their beautiful jewelry!!!

PURPLE AND SILVER JEWELRY TREE

Are you a purple lover? Well, this is something that might be of your interest. I created this beautiful silver and black jewelry tree, which, if you ask me,I think it has a very interesting shape of its own. Here are some pictures. You can look at more pictures at www.ebjewelrytrees.etsy.com:

I was inspired to create this jewelry tree after I was at a certain store where they sell lots of cute candle holders (for a reasonable cost). I was shopping around for ideas for my next jewelry tree when I came across a beautiful glass candle holder that I just had to have (second picture)! When I saw this candle holder, I automatically thought that it would look perfect with purple branches. I painted the inside of the candle holder with the same purple paint I used for the branches since the original candle holder comes in a silver color with certain see through areas. 

I chose a deep purple for the tree because i thought when put together, it would make the whole thing look a little royal. I also added a couple of strands of silver and purple mini jewels. Let me know what you think! 

VINTAGE WHITE AND RED MANZANITA JEWELRY TREE

So I have been inspired by the whole damask beauty themes lately. That print adds a certain femininity and glamour to anything, if done right, of course! Since that is my latest obsession, I have been incorporating the damask print on a lot of my jewelry trees. 

This jewelry tree was one of my damask themed jewelry trees ( I have plenty more in mind coming up, trust me). I hand painted the branches and the vase a vintage white. I then added red damask prints to the vase. Although you cannot see this in these pictures, I painted the top of the vase a red as well. Last but not least, I added 5 red hanging jewels to the tree to help the red "pop" more. 

This was not a custom order, it was only a tree that I made under inspiration. I came up with the combinations of colors and prints because I thought it would all come together nicely, which I think it did : ) I woke up one day and decided that I wanted to make a jewelry tree that had those two colors, which remind me of vintage items that would look perfect in a vintage-chic bedroom. Just add some awesome jewelry, and you're set!

MY SECOND CUSTOM MADE JEWELRY TREE- INSPIRED BY MY PERSONAL ONE

I really like to make different jewelry trees, not anything that you will see in any other other place, ever! I sometimes go to different stores to find cool vases, candle holders and even plant pots to get inspired for my next tree. This is one of those where I used an unconventional vase for the jewelry tree:

I used a soap holder with very pretty mirrored detailing on the sides. This tree was meant to be just like my personal tree, but with a twist. I painted the branches just like my own tree (black with glitter) and I added the branch to the soap holder. I then added some clear jewels to the top of the vase for added beauty and then topped off the tree with red hanging jewels.
I really like the way this jewelry tree came out! Oh, and yes, this was a custom order for someone who loved the tree!

STORY BEHIND MY FIRST CUSTOM ORDER EVER!

Although I haven't been making jewelry trees very long, I have already gotten some custom order requests that I have enjoyed making very much. Let me post some pics of my first ever custom order.

You are looking at a beautiful hot pink glitter with silver glitter jewelry tree. It is very heavy and sturdy as well. I made it for someone who contacted me through facebook.com, asking me if I could make them a jewelry tree with their favorite colors. I asked them if they had a certain design in mind, and they let me know that they were open to whatever I wanted to make, as long as it contained the colors they like: Silver and Hot pink. 

It took me about 1 1/2 days to make the tree and when finished, I loved the result! I added the damask print on the vase myself and in case you were wondering, I made the vase myself as well! I like the way this tree looks like it came out of a forest, due to the shape of the branches, yet it looks like something that can add lots of beauty to your home as decor. 

I really do have fun making jewelry trees. It helps me get my creative side going while making something that is beautiful and useful for everyone who owns jewelry. Since the days of my first jewelry trees (about a month ago, lol) I have learned to tweak my trees for the better. I now make smaller vases (about 5"x5"x2.5"), and use materials which allow the trees to be lighter 

(weighing in at about 1lb!), yet still very sturdy.

SILVER AND BLACK JEWELRY TREE INSPIRATION

Hi everybody! So I was thinking about how I got inspired to make the silver and black jewelry tree that I am about to show you. Let me show you the pictures first.

I still had the whole antique thing going on, so I decided to make something similar to my tree, but a little different. I painted the glass vase a silver glitter and then topped it off with the black damask print. When I finished it I thought it would look good in a room that is surrounded by antique lovers, but wasn't too crazy about it. I decided it would be worth to post it on my store anyway even though I was a little hesitant. 

What do you know? It was my first online sale! It also ended up being one of my more popular items, being that about a week later after this one sold, I got a request to make another one, just with different colors (my latest custom order). Let me show you that one:

I actually think this tree came out pretty cute! I love the distressed copper finish with the clear jewels and the peach damask print on the vase. 

Anyway, that is the store behind those two trees.

WELCOME TO MY FIRST POST!!!

I am so exited to finally have created a blog! This is going to be so much fun! I guess I should start by telling you a little about why I'm doing this. About 1 month ago, I started making jewelry trees. I use etsy.com to post my items for the world to see, but I still feel I need to make my jewelry trees have a story of their own, so you can truly see why they are so unique.

Where do I get my inspiration for my jewelry trees? The inspiration is everywhere! I might be looking at the sunset one day and get a beautiful concept for a jewelry tree from all the vibrant colors in the sunset. I am always looking for inspiration because I am determined to make the most unique trees you will ever see!

Let me tell you a little story about how I came up with the design for my jewelry tree, followed by some pictures so you can see what I'm talking about. I have been working on decorating my bedroom for a bit now. I wanted my bedroom to have a edgy, cool, vintage sort of feel to my room, so I came up with a red/white/ black theme. I decided to make my walls red, then I bought a white and black damask bed comforter and I will follow my theme with accessories by getting lots of black candle holders and mirrored accessories. I then came up with the idea of making myself a jewelry tree, since all of the jewelry boxes I was finding were too small for my needs. I then came up with this:

Oh, how I love my jewelry tree! I decided to incorporate my theme into the jewelry tree. I really think it captures what I want in my room perfectly!

That is basically how my inspiration happened with my jewelry tree, and trust me, every tree I make has a story behind it, so come back for another story soon : )
