Messy work bench!

2011-01-25T11:58:00.000-08:00

So here is a little snap of my work bench as of today... I figure if I share this disaster it might help me be acountable with myself to keep it a bit more organized. Its amazing that I can get work done with it like this but I am use to this chaos. I am hoping that after a good orginization plan and clean up that I will be even more productive. Although efforts in the past have not proved successful I am confident I can keep it neet this year :) We shall see.

Giving it a real try and why I do what I do

2011-01-21T10:53:00.000-08:00

Hello, my name is Typhaney, and my last blog post was in 2009. I barely made an attempt at blogging in 2009 and I am back in 2011 to give it another try. A real try this time.

I found the inspiration I needed this morning while working in my studio. As I was making my way through some silver with my saw today; I was reminiscing about the very first time I picked up a jewelers saw, which was in Pine Bush High School. I am so thank full that my high school offered a jewelry class or else I would probably never have realized my true passion! So a random thank you to my high school art teachers for showing me the wonderful world of jewelry. I hope Pine Bush still offers jewelry making to their students now. While thinking about what led me to where I am today and wanting to share that information with people a light bulb went on. I have a sad little blog just waiting for me to write this thought down and begin a happy journey of sharing whats on my mind. I hope to share my inspirations, my process in the studio, new pieces, and the random goings on the world of Typhaney and Typhaney B. Jewelry!

Over the last several years my family and friends have been touched by many different types of cancers. I would like to do my part to help in the fight. I have chosen to donate a portion of proceeds from the sale of my hammered leaf earrings to The American Association for Cancer Research. The mission of the AACR is to prevent and cure cancer through research, education, communication, and collaboration. To learn more about the AACR you may visit their website www.aacr.org and follow them on twitter

A Day In My Life

2009-10-30T08:23:00.000-07:00

Over the summer I participated in the Philadelphia Designers Market. I met many wonderful designers and bloggers from around the PA region. I was recently contacted by one of them, Michelle of Michabella Creations, who is also a contributing writer for a fantastic blog, Handmade In PA. She asked me to submit a full day in my life for the blog. I happily obliged and here it is.

A day in the life of Typhaney of Typhaney B. Jewelry.

Be sure to check out all the other great posts and the amazing creative community that Pennsylvania has to offer.

In the local spotlight!

2009-10-17T12:45:00.000-07:00

I have a little mention in "The Goods", Philly Mags weekly scoop on shopping, beauty, travel, and home.

Good Morning, Philly Shoppers!
This week we wanted to share with you the fabulous jewelry designs of a local artist — one we’ve known since she owned a crafty Old City boutique. Check out Local Spotlight below to see what she’s doing now. We’ve also got a slideshow of some fashionable fall ensembles found on the sidewalks of Center City, and our latest batch of sales, deals, and events. Plus, there’s fall picks from our Style Squad. Enjoy! — Carrie Denny, Fashion Editor

LOCAL SPOTLIGHT: Typhaney B. Jewelry

The former owner of Old City’s Conspiracy Showroom is turning out designs we want to get our hands on

By Annie Monjar

South Philly jewelry designer Typhaney Shanker knows that when one door closes, it can kick open another — in her case, a thriving, homegrown enterprise that’s turning style-conscious heads across the city.

Since the February closing of Conspiracy Showroom, the Northern Liberties boutique that Shanker owned for three years with two other designers, the jewelry artist has been able to focus on expanding Typhaney B. Jewelry, her imaginative, bohemian collection of earrings, necklaces, and rings. She’s developed a website for the line and started showcasing her hammered brass hoops and howlite necklaces in trunk shows, galleries, and boutiques across the region. “I didn’t want to compete with myself when I had the store, so I never sold anywhere else,” she laughs.

Working from her home studio, Shanker combines natural and vintage materials to create quirky, whimsical pieces, like a copper chain necklace featuring a leather pendant and hand-selected sea shells. Her pieces can dress up an office cardigan or compliment an evening cocktail dress, and with earrings and necklaces starting at $25, Shanker backs up accessory style with sensibility.

You can find Typhaney B. Jewelry at the Three Sirens Boutique, or in Rittenhouse’s Square Peg Artery & Salvage. Be sure to check out the (new) website, too, at typhaneyb.com.

I have been invited to participate in a Ladies night trunk show at the Domus Building!
October 14th, @ 7pm Domus Club House 1st Floor 3411 Chestnut St. Philadelphia, PA

domus

Latin for "home," do-mus is eight stories of luxury lifestyle and amenities.

Domus is the most coveted residence in Philadelphia's most vibrant and distinctive neighborhood � rising eight stories high in University City, the academic heart of Philadelphia. Its 290 luxury apartments are perched above an eclectic range of restaurants, shops and internationally known retailers.

Sleek. Edgy. Infinitely flexible. Domus offers a variety of residence options, so your home can be as unique as you are. Add to that the building's spaciousness. Its sweeping views. Its superior finishes of natural stone, hardwood, and slate. Its plush interiors and stainless steel appliances. And its amazing, resort-style amenities.

I went to a ladies night out party at Paradiso last night and purchased this fantastic tin print for my office! It was great to see so many new neighborhood businesses. It was nice to see some old friends as well.

Today is a busy day, I need to plug away at my jewelry making for my upcoming trunk show. I am taking a break to write this blog as well as another break later for a good cause. I will be donating a pair of earrings for a charity event raffle. The Feel Your Boobies Foundation, a non-profit that helps raise awareness of the importance of self examinations for women of all ages. The event is being held @ Mint in Old City on October 15th at 6pm. Mark your calendar and support a good cause! http://feelyourboobies.com/

Now off to coffee and jewelry making!
