a few new things


Spring is a busy time in the jewelry studio - there are lots of shows to apply to and prepare for and lots of fun to be had just playing around with metal and glass; gotta make time for the fun stuff!

Here is a charm bracelet I am now offering. The picture includes a fleur-de-lis charm but i sell them with or without the charm. I'm really happy with the simplicity of the bracelet - very sturdy but simple & elegant, I think. I plan to do more of these & have, in fact, been playing around with using bigger & bigger rings & forming some of the rings into ovals & other organic shapes. That seems to bypass the charm bracelet concept but they are quite lovely! I hope to have pictures - it's difficult sometimes to keep up with the pictures. the fun is in making the jewelry; taking photos is a necessary evil -----well, not evil exactly but just not nearly as much fun as creating something using plain wire, a pair of pliers & a torch! But i have to at least document the new things i make; otherwise, they go to their new homes & i forget about them & don't produce that design again, which seems a shame.

More info to follow - next up, lots of new jewelry designs using my own lampwork beads!
