I always love new display ideas especially when you don’t need to go buy a bunch of stuff. I saw a novel idea in a store the other day. They hung copper netting (sold in rolls called stuff it) which is a tube. They then pocked the earring hook through the net. You could make small hooks to hang necklaces.

Hi Mary Anne. I love what you have made with items which others would have thrown away. It’s great reading and seeing other peoples work and so inspirational. Thank you! 🙂

Thanks for your input. That’s what I love about Rena’s newsletters: what other jewelry makers are doing. You are so right about taking pictures. I know because I sound just like you.

I have recycled frames for my jewelry,
also a bulletin board. My jewelry is one of a kind
some from vintage pieces redesigned. I also
have vintage pieces I have gotten at estate sales
I leave as is.

HI Mary Anne,

Thank you for your wonderful ideas! Where did you buy the wood board on wheels where you hung your displays?

Thanks, Sandy

Rena, thank you for your ongoing encouragement…and helping to post my thoughts and ideas from my flickr portfolios into your column here! Your columns and input from all your wonderful readers have really helped me so much for a long time now.

Even though I am phasing more into “fine” art showings , rather then jewelry selling at shows and fairs, or on etsy , it will always be a component of what I create and sell. I find your blogs to be helpful regardless of what type of items I am showing, selling, or displaying. Its great info for ALL creative people.

Thank you so much for all that you do in giving back to our community.

Mary Anne, these are fantastic ideas. You have a gift for seeing the potential in the things other people toss out.

I love your ideas for upcycled displays to show your upcycled fashions! And in the booth shots I can see you pull it all together cohesively, so it looks artistic and not hodge-podge.

Thanks so much for sharing your display ideas – as well as your great tips on making a visual invoice and keeping a photographic record of everything.
