Make Art Monday!
My friend Melanie, of Earthenwood Studio, made these terrific steampunk-inspired ceramic beads and sent a bunch to me to play with. This is what I made:

I’ve been loving the steampunk look lately. Probably because of my several-years fixation on Dr Who :-)
I’ve got a notebook filled with Victorian and Edwardian designs that I’m in the process of morphing into steampunk. Here’s my first:

A whole boatload of my pieces came home recently, and I’ve been able to add most of them to my website. A couple of them already had homes to go to, so I didn’t bother to add them. The ones that are now living over at Mazel Tov! Jewelry Treasures are these:

I’ve been pretty productive since my daughter went overseas to study in Italy for a semester! I don’t necessarily recommend sending your playmate away just to get work done, but that seems to at least one good thing about the spring…I miss her, but I can concentrate uninterrupted ;-)
Tomorrow, I’ll be showing you […]

Royal Pearls
This is another necklace that I’ve made for Jewelry Crafts magazine. I’ll be sending it off real soon for inclusion in an upcoming issue. It’s a pretty mixture of brass filigree and freshwater pearls. Very feminine, but not too sweetsy!

No, it’s not the same as being on the cover of Rolling Stone, but I’m still pretty happy :-)I’ve got two articles in the March/April issue of Jewelry Crafts magazine, and one of them is sitting right on the COVER!!
Run-Around Wrapping
The second article is for a very easy lariat necklace in an ocean theme for […]
