Line Of Life

A little something I've been working on- sterling silver chain with copper fine chain woven through it. I really like the way this one turned out- albeit one of the more time consuming pieces I've made thus far... but such is beginners luck.

How do you like my new jewelry stand? She holds my ever growing collection of rings quite nicely - I guess if jewelry doesn't pan out here in New York, I can also learn how to be a palm reader too! 

Necklaces For Sale

I made a few new styles this week, I figured I should be putting up photos on here more frequently... 

Please email me if you are interested in any of the styles you see

Peaces Of White

It's Been A Long Time

A small selection of some new things I left at Purr 17th in Calgary before I moved. The fact I made them in moccasins probably makes them even more legit.

Stylist: Miranda Watson
Make Up Artist: Olga Onulov
Hair: Pure Form Salon
Models: Caitlin Thomas & Jenna Jackson from Mode Models


I finally got the photos from the photoshoot I styled for photographer, Laura Ramsey for the last issue of Parlour Magasine. Most of the jewelry is Millicent Designs and the clothing is well, from everywhere... ha (feel free to message me if you have questions, or go to the Parlour Website and you can see the issue online). We shot on location at Glenmore Reservoir on a boiling hot summer morning. Looking back on these photos makes me miss the days of flowing dresses and bare skin. What I would give to be floating on a cloud above a cool lake on a hot summer day... did I mention SNOW is in the near forecast for Calgary? Arrrrg.

These are some necklaces I made today. The red one was a special order for Lori. She promises photos of it will be on her flickr account some time in the near future. Fun!

The other two necklaces are going to Purr 17th this week!

Off to Purr Kens, 17th and Scotia Centre they go!

Lil' Buddy

This is my new lil' buddy that I whipped up this weekend. I received an order from a brand new store for Millicent Designs, called Rumor in Leduc Alberta. My good friend Dean owns and runs the shop and wanted to give a little love to the ladies in the way of pretty jewelry. Anyway, I thought I would channel my inner bad ass and give a good nod to the Miranda of yester-year that would proudly rock skulls and skate shoes... however, I couldnt resist modern day Miranda's hippie heart as well. I guess it was a success in my books because I ended up keeping one of the two versions I made of the necklace. Isn't it just the perfect dichotomy?

Snakes, Silver and Special Orders!

After mailing a few pairs of feather earrings to my first American customer (thanks maria!) who found me through the blog, I seem to be getting busier these days with special orders. Im in the midst of mailing out a necklace for a new friend living on the East Coast who found me through one of my stores here in Calgary. I really hope his gf loves the necklace and all the time he has put into getting the right one made for her. Cute!

Anyway, Kolby, my ever loyal supporter, has ordered another necklace. Apparently, she wears hers now so religiously people are starting to comment she doesnt have any thing else... here's what I whipped up for her! Hope you like it Kolby!

For Lori

"Smiley Millicent"

Another photo that Lori took of me the other week. Im not used to seeing photos of me full out smiling these days, so it's taken me awhile to fully get into the picture.

I've been taking a lot of photos for my fashion blog, Pieces From Audrey, whereby I avoid teeth smiles. (Recently I have discovered that I need a retainer. Like, bad. - Who is 27 and has teeth that are still moving? This is not fair! I will not get braces AGAIN). Anyway, this one is for you, Lori. Thanks for being such a great photographer!

Millicent At Folk Fest

I love seeing my earrings on Folkers.

Good ol' Kolby and Carly were representing well this past weekend at the Edmonton Folk Fest.

big love

In front of the lens

Exciting things are happening in my world.
These are some photos, Lori, from The 10 Cent Designer took of me yesterday at work. We have some really fun things planned - Im super excited! (make sure to check out her Flickr account - it's so inspiring)

dangles

A necklace I made a while ago for a Parlour Magasine photoshoot I did with Laura. A little birdy told me the newest Parlour is out now in Edmonton and this necklace is featured in the spread I styled. Hopefully it will make it to Calgary soon, so I can see a hard copy of all our hard work!

A Lil' Somethin'

I thought it was due time that I make myself something new and exciting. I have had these weird snake charms for a while now and havent done much with them. I had a brain wave the other day in the shower that I wanted a gold & copper necklace for my Folk Fest wardrobe this past weekend. While I waited for the concert to start, I quickly whipped this number up before running out the door.... I quite like how these crazy lil' charms all turned out!

Calling all jewelry horses

If you're anything like me, you have a million necklaces in a heap in your bathroom or the top of a chest of drawers. You have earrings hanging off of cup lids, nails, basically any surface that can handle them. Sure, I have seen the jewelry trees but I long for something more unique.... and then I find this little gem of an idea on the This Is Glamorous blog the other day and my head practically exploded. Now, why didn't I think of that? Off to Value Village I go for some old discarded frames!

Wedding Head Chain

I made this for my friend Danielle for her sister's wedding. Danielle was a bridesmaid and wanted a little glam for her hair. I brought it over to her house and discovered this giant box of makeup with about 300 eyeshadows and lipsticks in a big black case. Needless to say I started getting a little "Mimi" from The Drew Carey Show so I had to bleed all the colours out of these photos so as to not frighten anyone. I didn't manage to get a good photo of the actual head chain, but you get the idea. I'm mostly doing special orders for these daisy chains at the moment, so please email me if you're interested!

Pictures from Market Collective

I got an email the other day from the wonderful gals over at the Boyhood Uniformity blog. They managed to snap a few photo's at the Market Collective of some of the artists at the show. Much to my surprise, Millicent made the cut! Here are Danielle and I manning my table and a great shot of the sun showcasing some of the feather earrings. I kept telling people I wanted to be a cat and curl up in the sun patch myself.... some people laughed, other people looked at me like I escaped from the asylum. Oh well, if they bought some goodies, then they can call me whatever they like!
Thanks so much to Jane & Emily for remembering a camera and taking some photo's! Go to their blog to check out other shots from the show!

Jewelry Party!

I remembered to bring my camera, but I only remembered to take photo's in the final hour... as you can see Trina is tired and Russell desperately wants us to leave.

Highlights include, but are not limited to; me managing to eat half a wheel of brie cheese (obviously making it a great night), Kolby & Carly singlehandedly accounting for over 50% of my nights earnings, and constantly mistaking the feathers falling from the giant dream catcher as earrings on the floor.

Thanks so much for coming!

( & many thanks to Frannie for hosting!)
