Hello again!  I wanted to share with you a picture or two of my black forest agate embroidered cuff.  This piece was quite the journey!  I started it and quickly became uninterested in finishing it, so I put it away and began working on other projects.  I pulled it back out and finished it!  Am I ever glad that I did!  I am proud of this piece!  This is my 2nd embroidered cuff that I have completed so don't get too close, there might just be some imperfections!

Funny how sometimes you get bored with a piece, put it away for another time, get it back out and have a new perspective on it!  Art is very mood based in my opinion.  You have to find your muse.  The old saying, "When it rains, it pours" is how my creativity flows.  I go for awhile with nothing.  Then all of a sudden I have tons of ideas!  Then I have to organize my thoughts on paper so as to not forget! 

Right now I am working on a commissioned piece.  I am going to dedicate the next couple of days to seriously working on this cuff!  What will you be doing with your weekend?  Hopefully next week I will post pictures of my commissioned piece!

Until then, have a fabulous weekend!

Summer!

Hello everyone!  

School is almost out and I can finally breath!  All these activities and running around has certainly driven my creativity almost to a halt.  Happy to report, I am back in the grove!  Yay!  I have so many ideas and projects circling around in my brain.  I have begun to assemble my floor loom, well ok, lets be honest....Scott has started to assemble it.  Not an easy task!  I am taking lessons in weaving and am very excited about the possibilities!
 
Jewelry is still my main focus, never fear!  I have added new classes to my repertoire of classes that I am teaching!  If you or a friend is interested in learning a new skill or project, please get in touch with me to set something up!

What are you going to be doing with your summer?  Learning to make jewelry does not mean that you have to do so indoors.  Grab some iced tea and a few material and go sit outside!  I hand knotted 7 feet of czech glass beads on the beach last year! 

Whatever your goals are for the summer, let your creativity stretch itself!

Until next time!
