wow me

A photographer and friend Shane Drummond of SD Designs took time out of his day to put together this awesome graphic for me. The model's name is Sandy Tejada and she's not only pretty but she's a great person to work with.
It makes me feel good to know some appreciates what i do to show my work in graphics LOL gotta luv it.
 

More pics of Sandy coming soon.

The Basics

 So world, I'm watching Project Accessory (it's a new show modeled after Project Runway) and i think to myself: "I could have done this"..but then you start to hear about all the people (celebrities) that the designers have already designed accessories for and you think to yourself why are they even on this show???  They should already be established or on their way at least.  What about the designers that are just starting out? What about the ones that really have to use a lamp shade to make a hat, or a "movers blanket" to make a belt LOL! You know what i mean, some poor old girl or guy is using real nails and screws to make something stay together, they should be the ones that are on this Project Accessory show. I almost feel like it's rigged plus,I wouldn't fit in on this show I don't work good under pressure.

Designing for me is a pleasurable thing, it's my peace and serenity. I already have a "regular job" with lots of pressure and challenges (building gears for bridges and conveyors to carry crap etc) which is plenty enough pressure!! So for me making accessories is fun.

Of course, you want to be great at designing and recognized that you have a talent i'm quite sure you dream of being recognized to the street or at Fashion Week... I know I do and one day soon I will, but you don't want that pressure of maybe being told you ain't &^#$!!! Or your designs are just "OK" ... man i would be tight LOL! Well that's probably why I didn't apply for that show; anyway I have jewelry to make so i'll catch you later!

Where im going

Hey y'all its your girl Qpdoll,
Well let met tell you, I bought this great cape at a great price from a flea market that i was working, or well actually I was helping  my boy get his Flea Market hustle on.  I go out on Saturdays to Giant Stadium parking lot where they hold the flea market. I also take the opportunity to give my own product a run to see what's out there. But really the market is not a good spot for my product because it's extra-FLEA y'all lol.. it's like they want you to be giving your hard work and talent away, and that's not for me at all but it helps my boy so I go.

But, anyway back to this cape it started out at like $45 when i first got there and  i wanted it but couldn't pay that much at the time cause you already know money is tight lol!! So i waited until it was almost time to shut down for the day an low and behold, there was that cape with my name on it and I got it at 1/2 off!

Let me tell you why else the cape is great,  it's warm, that's the first thing. lol It's cute which is also a very important detail cause a girl can't be wearing a fly item and not take it all the way to the limit that's a no no!! So just to kick it up a notch (Emril style BAM!!)  I added some QP (as in QPDOLL ACCESSOIRES.. get hip fam!! lol)  and brought a whole new energy to the outfit. 

You can see a couple of my pieces on my wrist I'm rockin' QPDoll Accessoires Originals in 3 different styles. On my left wrist (pictured over here to the right) I have a chunky bangle made from resin with greyish black tones, and right above that I know you can't help but notice that I have an adjustable jeweled leather band bracelet. The jewel is a mixture of clear crystal and crystals with blue tones. On the right wrist (pictured above) I'm wearing a silver tone cuff with navy blue jeweled oval and a chain with dangling charm dipped with silver tones.and crystals. My earrings are made of silver tone balls and clear blue crystal balls in a chain style that pulls the blue off that awesome cape that I brought for $20.00 (yeah I had to throw that in your face again!!! LOL). Lots of beautiful pieces and one of a kind. The great thing is that the right set of accessories just picks up the overall value of your outfit. Accessories are jewelery for clothes if you ask me and I LOVE jewels!!!
Anyway Gotta go I hope you enjoy my blog peace.
