Sunny Saturday

Weekends are always looked forward to. Today shaped up to be a pretty decent one too. The sun was out in force today, so I ducked out to grab some more pics of pendants. It was still a little bit on the chilly side to let the little ones out to play, perhaps tomorrow will be different. This evening, I settled down at my desk and used my handy dandy new tool! I got a 1" square paper punch, and boy does it make a difference! It's really going to help speed up the glass tile pendants.

I just finished up 6 new ones. Here's a little sneak peek.



Tomorrow they will get their bails, photo shoots and listed on Artfire.

While I was busily working away on these, the little ones ran wild. Until this happened.



The littlest monster climbed up into the beanbag chair and crashed out. It must be tiring coming over and pestering mom when she has tacky fingers! He's still asleep with his Superman blanket in the chair. I'm going to follow his cue and do the same.

Sullying the virgin Blog.

Well it had to be done at some point, right? The first post.

I managed to finally get an online selling venue set up. As you can see to your right, there's is a lovely little quick cart for my artfire.com shop. I am working on getting things photographed and added into the shop. I actually preformed a miracle tonight and cleaned off my jewelry desk. That's unhead of! And yesterday I managed to swing by Lowes and pick up a torch head and little bottle of propane. Soldering, here I come!

Spring has gotten my creative juices flowing full force. The ice dam has thawed and the river is a flowing. So a few more of those little glass tile pendants should be up by the end of the weekend. As should some copper pieces. I also have to do a few anklet's for my mother, and finish up a necklace for my sister. The anklets will be fun. I am personally not a fan of gold, but it's all my mother will wear. So I have to craft her a gold and rose quartz anklet. I also told her I would make her a nifty little flat spiral woven anklet as well. Yes, I will take photos of them before they go to their new home.

I am working primarily in copper right now due to cost. For myself, and my customers. I have a stash of sterling, that I am sitting on. So, once I start getting my wire work up in the artfire store.. if you see something and want it in silver, contact me and I will do a custom order for you!
