Arctida Celebrates 300 Sales on Etsy!

Woohoo! I've reached the 300 sales mark in my Etsy Store today! *picture me making a happy dance here* :) Thank you so much to all of my awesome customers who allow me to do what I love and love what I do! 100-200 sales took just over a year and 200-300 less than 10 months! I'm hoping 400 sales will come sooner than I think. Wish me luck!

The 300th sale was my Lemon Quartz wire wrapped in oxidized sterling silver *Eliza* earrings! For sale in my Arctida, ArtFire, DaWanda and Etsy shop.

Désirée - Vampire jewelry red necklace Ruby Garnet red Spinel in oxidized sterling silver. Handmade gothic costume cosplay jewellery by Arctida

 Seems like today’s youth is obsessed with vampires; the movies, the TV-shows and the books! Anywhere you look there are VAMPIRES flashing their fangs at you :) And off course the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, which makes me so excited because I’m a huge fan of vampires too!

So I decided to combine my two biggest interests - Jewelry design and Digital Art. A jewelry peace fitting for a hot and sexy vamp girl and off course a real vampire model :) So here is what I ended up with:

 

 I had that classical vampire in mind when I made this: pale skin, red, blood-thirsty eyes, porcelain-white teeth, dark, red lips and a gothic feel in all. The necklace symbolizes drops of blood running down the neck, right after being bitten by a vampire... Guess my model is going to turn into a night child now ;)
