Red Miniature Poodle

DanaArts Podcast ·

2016/12/12

Anyone else out there have a dog?We are excited to be getting a dog. We are naming him Red. We will pick him up this coming Saturday. I have to get ready for the sleep deprived days ahead. :) It's our first dog so this will be fun for the whole family. I had dogs growing up, but I never had the responsibility of the overall care and expenses that goes in to having a dog. This is all new to me and I'm a bit nervous. My kids are a blessing in my life and help challenge me in new ways. Thanks to them

Patterned Bands

DanaArts Podcast ·

2016/12/05

I'm having some fun with these designs. They are some of my earlier designs that never get old. The square came from the round version just to change things up. I've always loved creating these and wearing them because they are not your standard bands that you can find anywhere. These are just solid designs that are not just found anywhere. I love to come up with new patterns. They don't always translate from sketch to reality so in the design process I have to adapt as needed while creating them

Rendering

DanaArts Podcast ·

2016/11/28

I love to Render objects I create in CAD. It's fun to try and figure out how to do it well. This is a scene that I created for a design contest many years back. It did not win anything, but I had fun building the scene. The water is what I am most proud of. I was able to create pretty good looking running water which for me is hard to do. Hopefully this year I can try and do another something cool. We'll have to see. This was more about the render than about the jewelry. Hope you like

Thanksgiving

DanaArts Podcast ·

2016/11/24

It's here! Such a fun time with family and a break from work. I've always enjoyed this season with getting together with family and well, food. Now that I have kids of my own it's fun to see them with cousins playing around together. It seams as if the retailers always skip Thanksgiving holiday and jump right into Christmas after Halloween. Well I'm certainly celebrating this time of thanks and I wish you all the same. Relax and eat

Crafts "My Way"

DanaArts Podcast ·

2016/11/14

I've always have loved to make things with my hands. All growing up I found things to make from woven string bracelets to leather work. I preferred staying home to make things rather than go out to a party or have fun in other ways. Now that I'm all grown up and still growing up, I still prefer to stay at home when ever I can to make something rather than go out and tour the city. The only difference now is that I don't have much time to do the crafts that I enjoy. Work gets in the way of my hobbies

Wings

DanaArts Podcast ·

2016/11/07

This is a new design from old parts. I took a few old parts and combined them into something new. Wings are always cool. This one has 4 wings or 2 sets of wings with decorative patterns in between them. The is just a simple CAD render and not exactly how the finished product will be, but should give a good idea.The design process is very interesting with any design. They all start in different ways. This one started off as a simple drawing. That didn't work out. I scratched everything except for the

Halloween

2016/10/31

I don't really like the idea of Halloween, but taking all the meaning out of it it was always fun to dress up and get candy growing up. The same is true with my kids.My younger kids love to dress up and Batgirl wins again. I hope you all stay safe out there this year and have fun.

Sunflower days

DanaArts Podcast ·

2016/10/25

So things are still moving along with Dana Arts. I'm working away at the site and as always figuring things out and keeping myself busy. It's that time of year where it's starting to get darker sooner and cool off a little here in Arizona. Still in the 90's, but not bad at night.My wife planted sunflower seeds in our back yard. we already have 10 of them starting to grow. I can't wait till they all bloom at the same time. It will look so cool. I'll take some pictures once they grow up a little. So

Libraries for sale

DanaArts Podcast ·

2016/10/18

So I've managed to start the process. I thought, "what the heck!". So for now I have a few libraries and a few more coming. The shanks have over 30 in it. I have parts and also some nice halos. These really save so much time if you work with t-splines and CAD to make jewelry. Most rings may need pieces from each library. Mix and match is the game. Have fun. They are listed in the new CAD section

Matrix 8 T-spines libraries

DanaArts Podcast ·

2016/10/13

For any Martrix 8 users out there, I've been thinking about selling some T- spline library folders. They would be priced according to each folder and may have 10-15 pieces in each library folder. | just need to prepare them properly. Stay tuned it still might take me a month or so to prep everything, but the idea is there.

Close one

DanaArts Podcast ·

2016/10/11

So I was working on my site of course and I ran into a snag. I could not get the shopping cart to work with variant options the way I needed. I found a workaround that has to do. So when selecting a gold ring to buy you will have to just add it to the cart and then a popup will allow you to add the metal color. Just that simple. It's one of those hidden simple things that hopefully doesn't confuse anyone.

Adding the essentials

DanaArts Podcast ·

2016/10/08

So I'm still working on it. It will be a while, but the latest is a lot of rearranging and planning. I'm just throwing up the basics and then I'll slowly refine it. Nothing is permanent yet. I am starting to add some jewelry products that I already have listed on Etsy. It will take a while to add all of them, but I'm excited to finally start selling from my site for the first time. Sorry if there are any bugs. Still working things

Time

DanaArts Podcast ·

2016/09/29

You know none of us have enough time for everything. We have to pick and choose what's a bigger priority and go with that. Everything else just waits and gets pushed back till we are able to get inspired enough to feel it's a bigger priority than something else.Well, time or no time, I have been wanting to redo my website for years now. I built the first few sites from scratch. I never wanted to use a template because they were all too constricting and didn't allow for my freedom of artistic view to

Handmade ring

I thought I'd post an old video I made of a ring that I handmade. I hope to have time to make more videos. Here it is. It's an engagement ring.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tumdkoyqtl0

A few updates

DanaArts Podcast ·

2013/01/07

I just thought I'd update what's been going on lately. I found a little time to work on a video. Still a lot to do and still not finished after a few years. I need to find more time to work on it. So far this past year I was able to make new business cards, a few new designs, receive honorable mention in the render category of the Gemvision design symposium 2012 and have lots of fun. Work is fun so I never know when I'm working or having fun. It's the same to me. :) This year I hope to work

Let's try some marketing

DanaArts Podcast ·

2011/07/13

I always try my best to do everything. There is a lot to do and I get behind (videos still coming like I've mentioned in the past). Well, I thought I need to start marketing my work now that I have quite a few bands done. I'm doing my research and I'm going to start experimenting with it. I hope that I can figure it out. Wish me luck. :)

The making of a fire

DanaArts Podcast ·

2011/03/01

Lately I have been thinking a lot about wilderness survival. I have made a note that isn't quite finished on Facebook. I will be adding more photos and experiences, but for now I thought I'd share it. You may need to be a friend of a friend or my friend to see it, but if your interested in it and can't see it then let me know. I share how to start a fire with the bow drill. It's very fun and an exciting way to start a fire. Here is the link. Note on Making a fire Make sure you are logged

New bands with patterns

DanaArts Podcast ·

2011/02/09

Recently I have been inspired to make more bands. This past year I have been working on a series of bands with patterns on them. I have broken them down into different categories on my site. Hopefully this will help when looking for certain rings. I first started out with my his and her series. This series is very unique in that it connects couples with matching bands. I plan to keep working on new rings and themes for this section of my site. I also have added lots of textured bands that are

Lately I've been wanting to do lots of videos. Videos about jewelry and just videos in general. I for some reason just love to make them so I will start out with a project to make a promo video. Stay tuned to see it. It may take me a month or so, but it will come.
