Whelk-come to my new tiny studio! Take a quick tour...
Hello Shello & Whelk-come to my studio! Here I am outside sitting on the steps cleverly built by the husband - from palettes! I chose the moss green paint for these traditional french doors as they match my Nostalgem brand colour.
Ok, don't be fooled with iphone trickery. I shot this using the.5 lens so the studio looks twice as big! I'm guessing this cabin is around
This is my in-person live display set up. These display stands were made from left over wood planks from our deck. It's the kiwi husband's idea once again. I will take a photo another time when the led lights are on and when I have curated a collection of my jewellery on display. Below the table is my wooden tray of shell collectables. More photos of that coming soon.
This corner is where all my current inventory is stored. I scored this shelf from a neighbour who was going to dispose of it. And those smaller shelves? They are actually a pair of old beehive boxes. I use these collapsible clear shoe storage boxes for storing my inventory. By the way they are made of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) so they are recyclable. So while I am passionate about upcycling and sustainability, I recognise that not all plastic is eviiiil!
This is where the packing and fulfilment happen (but today is not that day - so yes it is so tidy). That table top was scored at my local "Merchants of Kerikeri". It was an old narrow door for $10!
My jewellery-making station. I was not trained traditionally - and I actually prefer to work standing up! So this is not your typical jeweller's bench.
This is only part 1 of my tiny studio tour. What else would you like to see inside?
Shell ya later,
Rina @ Nostalgem
