Well, I've been saying I was going to do this for a long time. Start a blog about me and my pursuit of finding time to make more jewelry, learn new techniques, sell my jewelry... all the while trying to maintain a happy relationship with my husband. There just never seems to be enough time to do all the things I want to do! So why in the world start a blog? I'm hoping to hear from others out there trying to do all the same things I'm trying to do. Share ideas? pictures? I really don't know.
So recently I have been trying get back into using more metal and wire in my jewelry designs. Trying new wire-wrapping techniques has been the most exciting discovery. Wrapping and wrapping and wrapping wire for days it seems. I think I'm developing tendonitis in my wrist from it. But not going to stop! Here are some pics of some of my wire wrapping...
 |
| Green tourmaline and hammered copper rings |
 |
| another copper ring, wrapped and hammered with a faceted green amethyst stone |
 |
| Turquoise and handmade gunmetal ear wires |
 |
| More copper! This time with chalcedony (my new favorite!) |
 |
| Mystic blue quartz |
 |
| Oxidized sterling and chalcedony |
 |
| Green chalcedony with tourmaline...oh and yea more copper! |

| Swirly copper pendant with green glass beads |

I've got more pics but no more time. I don't know what will happen with all this. But it is good to take risks!
Off to make some dinner!
