Doing my first major show next week, after taking a couple of years off from art shows. I’d forgotten how much behind the scenes prep there is!  But it’s all stuff I have fun doing, and designing new displays is creative in and of itself.  I’m doing quite a bit of re-purposing….an old frame isContinue reading “Show Prep!”

Last week I experimented with an idea I’d had.  I have several sets of alphabet stamps for stamping on metal, and when I’m working on a project, I’m always having to stamp out on a scrap piece of metal because I don’t remember exactly what the font looks like. I’ve done a few classes inContinue reading “Stamping Samplers”

I don’t normally do resolutions, but I’m going to give it my best shot this year. I’m going to try my hardest to keep this blog up to date – first step was getting my password reset so that I could actually access my account. Done. Next step is to remind myself daily that bloggingContinue reading “Welcome to 2015!”

I have this horrible habit of not being very focused. For example, right now, there’s a spot in my bathroom that needs to be painted, and it’s needed to be painted for probably 8 years. I just sort of forgot it needed to be painted (it was fine until we installed a new medicine cabinet),Continue reading “A splash of color”

A few weeks ago, a friend contacted me to ask if I could make him something special for himself.  He had an idea in mind, and just needed someone to execute on it.  “Big chain, long, with a pendant on it.  In copper.” I’d just made a roundmaille chain, so I showed him that asContinue reading “The Mega Manly Roundmaille chain”

It’s been a busy month for me.  I’ve been traveling a LOT for my full time job, which gets in the way of creative time.  But now I’m home for a few weeks, and right after I catch up on vacuuming and doing something with all the fresh apples that have taken over my office,Continue reading “Small Business Saturday, Art Center Open House and more….”

I’m waiting on a BIG supply order…UPS said it was supposed to be delivered last week, and then at the last minute, I got a text saying the delivery wouldn’t be until later this week!  Love the technology that allows me to track my packages, but I hate waiting! In the meantime, I worked onContinue reading “Impatiently waiting”

Last weekend, hubby and I took a little time off for a fun weekend away.  If you’ve never been on a trail ride, it’s a great time.  We’ve been going to this one for a number of years – Dan rides his horse and I ride in a wagon pulled by a great team ofContinue reading “Western Inspiration”

Studio open house is finally here!  Sunday, October 6 from 12-4…we’re having to punt on music, but we’ll get by.  There’s going to be cheese & crackers, wine & beer, hot apple cider (might need it, going to be chilly!) spiked with cinnamon, and of course PI(e)! I finished up a great pair of earringsContinue reading “Big day tomorrow!”

Remember those headpins I made a few days ago?  120 shiny silver pins, with so many possibilities. A few years ago, I made a series of bracelets that I called “Little Black Dress” – LBD.  I’d only gotten to LBD #2, but I knew I wanted to make more bracelets like those.  I decided theseContinue reading “LBD #3”
