NEW PIECES FOR UPCOMING ART SHOW

I have been making new items this week for the upcoming art show at the B&O, Youngstown, OH, Sunday Oct 3, 12:30 to 6:00 p.m.  Items will go on Artfire next week, as well as the floral bracelets posted last week.

NEW ITEMS TODAY!

Here are today's creations - an Egyptian Coil Watch,  Turquoise Cathedral bead bracelet and earrings, and two gold stone bracelets.  The gold stone bracelets have to be sized for the client who ordered it, so the wire ends have not be snipped as yet!  I also worked on some bronze metal clay pieces, and when I get them fired and cleaned up, I'll give you a look/see!  Of course, that's assuming they turn out okay during the firing process!  Thanks for stopping by!  Blessings.  Anita

Peace Earrings and more...

I'm trying to catch up on loose ends - like finally putting my peace earrings on earwires!!!  I made some copper on brass and some brass on copper.  I think my personal preference is the copper on brass.   In addition, I had some crystal earrings I made some time ago that have been waiting for me to photograph and tag them for Artfire.   I hope to get them onto Artfire tonight or in the morning!

INSPIRATION!!!

I decided to do some "beading" rather than wire, and guess what? I went right back to wire....I guess it's becoming a part of me. This was a really fun project for me. Creating the wire pieces, putting them together, and incorporating the beads - it fulfilled the creative need in me. I love the way it came out and especially how the colors work together. My mind is already working towards a next project - I seem to create as I wake in the morning...that's when the creative juices seem to flow! There is so much beautiful bead and wire work out there in cyberspace and in magazines, that you have a lot of ideas to work with to create your own unique piece of jewelry. I read of one designer who gets ideas as she drives down the road - like the way a truckload of logs is stacked in a truck - so I am trying to learn to keep my eyes open to everything around me - colors, textures, or the way something twists or bends. You never know what might inspire that next piece of jewelry! Until then....Have a great day! Anita
