Making jewelry inspired by my senses and surroundings.

Wishing everyone a great holiday weekend!

I thought I would share some of my flowers with you while I had the opportunity, two days in a row of sunshine without rain! We are sun starved here, and I hope it is the beginning of a trend! My poppies are starting to bloom, the dahlias, the magnificent lupines, and finally a clematis bloom! I love color in the garden, and hoping it will inspire me a bit in the jewelry department....ummm, we'll see! Still love my neutrals!

Hope the sun is shining on you wherever you are! Thanks for looking and I welcome and appreciate your visits and comments!

ONE WORD....GORGEOUS!

Yup, that's right.....downright gorgeous! Barbara Lewis, of Painting with Fire, is having a fantastic and very generous giveaway over on her blog, go here to check it out, and you could win these, or color of your choice! What's not to like?! You'll also get the inside scoop on Barbara's book, due to be released at the end of the summer, which we are all waiting so patiently for .

Go show Barbara some love!

FEMININE SKULL BRACELET

Feminine skull bracelet-available on etsy here

Don't you just love this skull's smiling face?!! My daughter Briana made this, and I just listed it on etsy for her. Bri lost her job about 6 weeks ago, and she is trying to find a creative outlet. I think she did a great job, and she describes this as "for the girly girl with an edge!"
Just had to share the cuteness!

Thanks for taking the time to look...I appreciate all your kindness always.

NEW STUFF

Mary and Me-available on etsy here

After a crappy week of health stuff, and devoting a lot of time to making jewelry for a presentation today, I finally have some me time! I just started a new journal class with artist Kelly Kilmer, and I just love her style! She uses very few materials, and uses lots of leftover papers and things we already have. I am loving it, even though this is not a style I am used to, but the fact that I can do it rather quickly(tonight I spent an hour, that is quick for me), and I am trying to break out of my "same old" style. I like my style, but I also like to try new things, and this feels rather liberating. I am soon to start a class with the wonderful Roben-Marie also. Have to finish watching the videos .

The bracelet here I created as a part of jewelry that makes me feel good, you know, so maybe someone else will feel good. I can always keep it!
Thanks for visiting and I love hearing from all of you! Have a fantastic week!
