I have decided to have one blog for both art and jewelry, so please check out my new blog in the future for updates. I will be updating my new blog daily and will have information about my own art and jewelry, as well as other artisan’s work, helpful tips for other artists and my general musings about life! It should make for some fun reading:)
As I grow older, I spend more and more time thinking about “my purpose in life”. No, this is not going to be a serious entry, more of an introspective one. I believe that as human beings we are each here for a purpose and our goal is to find out what that is and achieve it. Sure, as we grow, we achieve many things in school, in our careers, with life partners and family, etc., but beyond that is still the question “why are we here?”. For many of us the answer could be “to be the best parent you could be”, the “best daughter you could be” or the “best artist you could be”. And that in itself is a great achievement, but I know that we each also have a responsibility to each other as human beings and to this Earth that we live in. (more…)
For customers interested in buying my jewelry online, you can now do so on Etsy. I am still in the process of photographing and uploading my jewelry on to Etsy, so please do keep checking for new items frequently. I am excited!
Yes, it was another successful night of jewelry partying!
This time we got to take some photos. Several are of clients wearing my jewelry. On the right a photo of myself with my friend and customer Patricia wearing one of my designs.
On the left is Monica wearing one of my creations - aren’t they both beautiful? The ladies I mean!
You can see more photos at www.kalapohl.com/jewelry in the “Its a Party” album. I shall write more later…
Six months of hard work finally paid off big time at my Jewelry Party on June 11. I am thrilled to say that I did extremely well. It was so successful that I am hosting another Jewelry Party on July 18! (more…)
I finally got some time to relax and focus on family during the Memorial Day holidays. My brother, his wife and little girl, Leah came to visit. As you can see, my little niece Leah took to beads like a little professional. She’s only 2 and a half, but managed to pick out her own beads and string her own necklace!
For clients and friends who have been wondering what I have been up to - here’s a sneak preview. Ever since my vacation in December, I have been seriously bitten by the “jewelry designing” bug! Over the years, I have designed my own jewelry, but never really found the time to focus on learning the right skills to personally make what I designed. Well, my vacation gave me the opportunity to develop my skills at jewelry design and jewelry making. I was fortunate that a lot of things fell into place along the way, including the opportunity to learn skills/tips that I needed from some valuable resources. So finally, my jewelry business, Kala Pohl Designs is launched. (more…)
I am back after spending a wonderful and inspiring month and a half in Singapore and India and finally found some time to write in my blog. Prior to my trip, I was getting anxious about the fact that I was not going to be able to paint during the trip. (more…)
