Re-Branding: "Unicorn Approved Goods"


As a multimedia artist, I find it's difficult to stick with one medium for long so showing and/or selling is difficult. Last year alone I made a huge investment in a soap company after I got tired of jewelry design. It was successful and everybody loved the products, but I grew tired of it and it left me deep in the red. Then I started to pursue my painting again, spent a bunch of money on supplies, got an apprenticeship in New Mexico, came home, and wanted good colored pencils because the paint is messy. so I invested in them. This year I've done colored pencil work on paper and started back into jewelry design. I have made jewelry for a long time and have some training in silversmithing and glass bead making. I wanted an easy way to use my art in my jewelry pieces. I had Shrinky Dink paper from several years ago and have started making charms and pendants of my own out of them, They'll be coated in resin and added as a featured piece on a chain or a unique embellishment to another piece of work. Oh! Since I had silicone molds from soapmaking I have some molds I can use for resin pendants! I have also gotten several new resin molds for bangle bracelets. So, I do a lot of things. I decided I needed a name to cover all my interests and endeavors. I love unicorns, I go around dressed like a unicorn for fun; so I came up with "Unicorn Approved Goods" late a few nights ago. I think its fitting for my personality and all the random stuff I do! I'm really excited about this new start!
