I have found a new love- jewelry. I never realized the artistic and creative potential of wire; I thought all handmade jewelry consisted of beads on string, which can be pretty, but is rarely what I would wear. And I don’t like to make anything I wouldn’t buy myself…
But, I adore hardware and charms and baubles and started amassing a smallish (compared to some) collection of nifty things from the jewelry supply section of Michael’s and Hobby Lobby, then started reading up (that’s what a bibliomaniac does), Voila! A new obsession is born! The upside- faster stocking of the store, plus very impressed moms on Christmas. The downside- to do things the way I like to (I make almost everything myself, with the exception of the beads, and really want to take on metal smithing) can get pretty expensive. Plus, I seem to be developing a minor case of carpal tunnel! Does that happen that quickly? Seriously?
Anyway, photos!
Most items pictured are for sale in the Shop
Oh, and I made a Facebook page for the shop; I have no clue what to do with it, but you can become a fan Here. Or maybe you can tell me what to do with it! That would be fabulous as well…
