Beauty of Natural Stones

Beauty of Natural Stones

No matter what the fashion forecasters say, you can beat the beauty of natural stones and how they play with metals.

Chains and wire

What does it say about my work, when I making jewelry with chains and wire out of copper? I guess I could make a joke out of it, but, hey, it has been my mood lately.
Working with wire really is alot of fun, unless you like to follow certain rules in form. For me, it is taking some wire in my hand and see where it leads me. Any of you out there feel the same way?

New Bangles

Today, I worked on painting some metal bangles with lots of colors. I am trying to think of some adornments to add more dimension to them. Pictures will be coming later.

Metal Mania is Coming

So excited to be invited to a show in May called "Metal Mania"-it should be fun!

My first Juried Show

I am so excited to be in a Juried Art Show. The show is about our multi-cultural backgrounds. The piece I made is a jewelry pendant about my grandmother who died in World War II. Two other friends made it in with their work. However, the amazing part was that I was encouraged by a friend of mine to try it. The exercise for me in composing a jewelry pendant was healing and meaningful, even if the piece was not chosen, it was a worthwhile experience for me.
