Buffalo Lucy is awesome!

This giveaway ends now but is so awesome! She has just made a sterling and garnet ring that I adore!

Progress?

So, I have not really been making any jewelry lately. It's not for a general lack of interest. It's more timing. i wish I had a craft room with everything organized and I could just go in there and create. Maybe someday I will have that. I tend to take over my living room when I bring out my jewelry supplies. But, I have a little current motivation as a friend wants a ring and I will see her tomorrow. I am always more likely to make something for someone when I know I will see them.

In other crafting news...I started a wheel throwing class last week and absolutely love it! I had my 2nd class this week and made a bowl! So, I am learning how to make a ball of clay into something then trim it. Soon I will learn to glaze too! And I hope that I can actually have an idea of what I want to make and produce it, instead of just seeing what happens!

Embarking on this adventure

The more time I spend on etsy trying to promote my shop the more ideas I get about how, and where, to do it. So, here I am, posting my first blog entry. Maybe I should start out with my goals for this year in regard to jewelry making:

*create things throughout the year (so I don't get burnt out rushing for a show)
*take more pics and post items on etsy
*learn to make glass pendants
*make more things with polyclay (ya didn't know I did that, didya?)
*have a show before mother's day
*have a few shows earlier in the fall
