Showtime!

One of the things that is most challenging to my newer co-artisans seems to be setting up and tearing down for a show. Here’s a couple of quick tricks I use that saves me about an hour both ways. Invest in some of the jewellry flats with the velvet inserts – they come in gray and black mostly. Using the round tip pins, pin your pendants in place in the boxes, all you have to do when you get to the show is straighten the chains (if you use them) and lay the boxes out – all the pendants are already in place.
For earrings on a stand, run paper tape along the sides of the earring stand runs, from top to bottom after you’ve placed the earrings in the order you want them to be on the stand. Wrap a towel around the whole thing, put it standing up in a large plastic bag, (I use a clear one so I can know what end is the top). At the show, remove the bag, towel, and tape, and the earrings are all set.

from show to show- i leave my jewels hanging on the beautiful wood stands that i had made- i pull pillow covers over them and carefully set them next to each other in plastic totes(no tops) some items i “lay” in plastic fishing flats… QUICK pick up and leave–change at home if necessary!!!
