Just checking in with my bloggy friends giving you an update on what's new. First of all you may have noticed in the side bar that I've opened another online shop at Art Fire and added a "rapid cart" here. Going to try my hand at this site and Etsy also. Next on my list, is to conquer a shop spot at 1000 Markets. I'm currently putting together some of my best work, and good photos to try setting up shop there. I'll keep you posted on that. Last Friday I decided to sign up to take a 6 week course with local jewelry maker/metal artist Stacy Perry at our local Fine Arts Center. Here's a copper bracelet that I made from last week's class. I used Mykonos ceramic disc beads and a lampwork bead, (made by "Sassy Stoppers") as my focal. It has been oxidized and tumble polished. If you like this look, I do have a similar one in sterling silver in my Etsy shop right now. Tomorrow Stacy will be teaching us etching. Something that I've wanted to learn...

Etsy Blogger's Blog Carnival: My perfect studio

Image
When asked the question this month,"How would you describe your perfect studio?", I gave it some thought, but not much, as I dreamed up a beautiful castle that would take away all my distractions, inhibitions and allow me to create whatever I want, stress free of course! Ah, what a wonderful castle. Filled with many rooms where I can fantasize away! Maybe design a room for each themed style of jewelry to make! Now that's more my style! And no phones to ring and disturb me. No cats bugging me to feed them every two hours. Ah, peace. And I'd have work benches full of space to create. Tools galore! Beads, gems, metals and more! Do you wonder how I ever get anything done? (My secret)
