Mind4Design Jewelry

Be sure to visit Pamela at Mind4Design http://www.etsy.com/shop/Mind4Design where you will find fabulous handcrafted jewelry.

I'm Pamela of Mind4Design.
I have researched important jewels and their famous collectors, gemstone and costume jewelry designers, current trends, and the newest runway styles.

I like discovering new stones and design ideas. My creations celebrate the personal touch instead of the mass-produced. I usually design a suite, either necklace, earrings, or bracelet & earrings, it's rare that I make a lone piece of a design...guess you could say I like togetherness.


I design and make every item in my Etsy shop called Mind4Design.

Recently, I was featured on the Saturday Evening Post website for Crafts. We did a photo tutorial showing how to make a basic earring design. I was delighted to have some great response to the article and am considering doing another article about choosing beads and materials to make a friendship bracelet set, like the styles seen in my shop.

Good news - I will have my first retail venue this year for the holidays in a shop on Mass Ave. in downtown Indianapolis. What a thrill!

I hope everyone has a great holiday and safe New Year!

Cheers!

I am on Pinterest (Mind4 Design) and I tweet (myndfordesign).

KnitBerry.com website started 2 years ago with primary focus on handmade knitwear for children. Many people saw what I have made for my little kids and wanted me to make them the same thing. But I also had a passion to make stylish accessories for women. That is what I am primarily making now and of course I cannot forget about the kids so I design fun hats and make outfits as special orders. I knit just about anywhere - at home, in the car (while my husband is driving), while I wait for the kids to get off school, on vacation... I knit when I get inspired, and that can happen just about anywhere, so I always make sure to bring my knitting needles, and a notebook, just in case I need to sketch a design while it's fresh in my head.

My favorite needles to use are the circular needles. Many people ask me why do I use two "needles on wires" and it is because it is easier to measure the knitted item. It is also easier on my hands, because on straight needles the knitted fabric seems to weigh down on my wrists. Lately, because of so many projects, my hands have been suffering. I am trying to limit my time knitting and that also means choosing most meaningful projects to make, since I can only make so many. My designs come from intense research of fashion and seasonal trend and color. I pick my favorite designers, which for this Fall 2009 season are Marc by Marc Jacobs and Chanel. I then decide what type of hat or scarf would go with their runway outfits, and that's how I create my items. Hope you enjoy wearing them as much as I enjoy making them!
