REHCY BY ANNA MARIA: SEAS OF TiME NECKLACE

I've been obsessed with the notion of found objects and re-purposed watches jewelry for a couple years now. This vision in my head of the jewelry Atlantians would wear. Advanced, one-with-the-world society that would never waste anything and would re-purpose seemingly useless objects into beautiful, unexpected items...like this necklace.

***HAPPY 100TH POST!!! ****

Whoohoo! 100th post!! In honor of this, I've posted some of my new Rehcy by Anna Maria. Felt right, as the accessory line is what I originally started with when I began 365 Days to Runway in 2009. 

Thank you to all who have stopped by throughout the years! 

Hopefully you'll keep visiting for a few more years. :-)

Another freaking awesome shot from my shoot in December with Owens Photography's very own Kaci, and modeling is Lexi Jo. Make-up by John Dye.

Love the "Better watch out" look in her eyes! Giving that True Blood vibe.

FEATHER WEATHER

Been loving the feather ear cuffs, and finally had the time to make some! So excited about these!

Spent the day making some new goodies for my Rehcy by Anna Maria shop on Etsy and for Artesano, the wonderful shop in Fort Walton that carries my accessory line. 

In honor of my 100th post that will be happening soon, I'm thinking of maybe doing a some sort of giveaway of one of my accessories, but I'll have to figure out how exactly to do the giveaway. Watcha think? Let me know.

(By the way, my hand hurts from the squeezing of the evil pliers!)

CONCEiTED MUCH?

I have to say it,

I am in love with the Rehcy by Anna Maria Fall 2012 collection.

Yea, yea, I know that's a on the conceited side, but hey, sometimes you can't help but be a little proud of your work. :-D

One of my favorite mediums to work with are antique and vintage metal works. The Fall 2012 collection is made from antique brass works from Europe.

Bracelets made from antique brass works.

Currently only available at Artesano in Fort Walton Beach. Will be available online this Autumn.

ORGANIZED CHAOS

As I fondly refer to it, organized chaos covers the 9 foot by 5 foot ping-pong table, re-purposed as my design desk. Feathers, hammer, strips of scrap leather, more feathers, and a mound of vintage clothing left to upload for Frankie Marie by Rehcy are among the items in front of me. It's 10:00 pm, and I still have over 4 hours of work left on my must-get-done list for the day, not to mention a Spanish lesson and a 90 min workout. You're welcome to do the math...

Such is the life a fashion designer building her brand.

Oh if I didn't love what I do... well, lucky for me, I do.  :-)

Now for a preview of what I've been working on today...
