One Thing leads to another

I made this ring as a practice ring. It lead me to make a really nifty pair of earrings. Well, I think they are nifty. I'll post them tomorrow when I get a chance.


Fun Jewelry

I've been working on new stuff for spring. Here are my favorites so far :)

Adjustable Flower Ring


Playing with resin mixing up the colors


My entry into a wire wrapping contest.

PMC a new adventure

We headed out to a bead store in Spring so that I could buy some photo xfer plates for my precious metal clay jewelry. With these plates you can take anything and turn it into a pendant/charm. Right now, I'm interested in turning thumb prints and children's art into pendants. Here is some examples of what is possible..

Not my art or pictures but i didn't want to hotlink and steal bandwidth. I plan on replacing them with my own work asap.





The only real downside I can see is that the materials and process are not cheap. It jacks the end cost up quite a bit. The small thumbprints go for sixty dollars and the children's drawings are priced from $80-$175 but it is a unique process and in my opinion totally cool!

They didn't have everything but are suppose to get it in soon.

Once again I have failed to blog

I am going to do better on this blog I promise...M'kay? A bunch of posts are happening right here right now :)

Feeling Better and Contest Entries

I've had a busy weekend with house related stuffs going on. I finally feel much better thanks to the giant prednisone doses I've been on for the last five days. Tomorrow, I start stepping the dose down so here is hoping that I stay feeling good.

I also worked on finishing my entries into the Rings and Things contest. I haven't entered any contests for a long time because I wanted to practice my techniques. One of my entries was done by Melanie and me. She came to me and asked if she drew jewelry would I make it. I was a little surprised but said "Sure!". I'm so proud of her for coming up with the design.

I called it Amazing Duets

Melanie's Drawing


The Necklace




I made up the next one on my own. It is wire wrapping,crochet,braiding with fancy jasper and African Jade.

Une Petit Papillon (The little butterfly)





Last Entry "Garden of Paradise" Beadweaving - I made this one up last April so I may have posted it before.



Anyways, it is late so I need to head to bed :)
