KJEwelry will be holding the first trunk show of the 2015 calendar
year on Saturday, May 2nd, 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at Elements Design
Studio, 36 Highway 71, Arnolds Park. A trunk show is a
showing and sale in a retail store of an entire collection of clothing,
jewelry, etc., from a particular designer. I will be on hand all day
to showcase and talk about the jewelry designs and will be introducing
three new collections - my Gearhead Collection of scrap copper pieces
from SPM Gaskets in Spencer, the fine wire jewelry (sterling silver and
gold-filled) and the Team Spirit Collection (your school colors).
"I
have done a few pieces in the past of the scrap copper and they don't
last long, said Kathy J Evert of KJEwelry. "I will have several pieces
of this collection on hand for exhibit and sale and enjoy telling the
story about how these came about. You will have to stop by to hear the
story. The fine wire jewelry collection is a result of several
one-on-one workshops taken this winter with a jewelry artist in Phoenix I
met several years ago and had the opportunity to study and learn with
her this winter. The team spirit collection is a new jewelry addition
utilizing the old Japanese braiding technique called Kumihimo. This
collection is made of satin cords and have also been doing several
pieces that are beaded as well as braided with leather." Much more
coming in the Kumihimo category as are classes at Arts on Grand and in
Spirit Lake or Okoboji this year.
KJEwelry will
also be one of the artists at the Orange City Art Burst, part of the
annual Tulip Festival. Art Burst is held on Saturday, May 16th on the
Sioux County courthouse lawn, complete with live music, adjacent to the
food court, and parade route. There are 44 artists that have been
selected for the event which is free and runs from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30
p.m. For more information visit
