NEW IN FEBRUARY!

Winter certainly has given us a run for our money this year!  I am soooooo ready to break into Spring!  But in the interim, I have been making more chainmaille, some in argentium s.s., as well as doing some wire wrapping.  I am selling on consignment at two shops locally, MAE Spa, Hartford, OH and Dan - Gallery & Gift Store, Sharpsville, PA!  Very excited to have these two new venues.  I am also doing an show at the B&O Microbrewery, Youngstown, OH, on Feb. 12 from Noon to 7 p.m. - an afternoon of art, music, and local brew!  I have made some new items in January and February for each of  these venues.  And I still have Artfire!  So, this is how I beat the winter blues!!  If you have any questions, please leave a comment or e-mail me at JewelryExpressionsbyAnita.gmail.com.   Thanks for following!  Blessings, Anita

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

THE FINISHED PRODUCTS...

These are the final photos of my wire-wraps, as necklaces. I hope to post them on Artfire after the holiday.
