Resin Pendants

I've been on a "Making Resin Pendants" spree this week and it was loads of fun. Then I went to my dear friend Terry's and we played with Solder, Copper, Brass, Fire.....and almost burnt down her kitchen (we only burnt her cutting board actually). But we sure had fun! I think she wants to "play" at my house next time!

Saturday Teaching Class!

Taught all day Saturday at the Beadles and these students made some beautiful bracelets. We (my friend Terry and I) taught soldering, stamping metal, making jump rings and that gorgeous clasp! It was so much fun! If you live close to Broken Arrow, OK check out the classes at the Beadles....they are always teaching something fun in jewelry making!

Day at the Zoo

My son standing in front of a centipede poster at the Oklahoma City Zoo!I'm glad that my job allows me to be home with my son during the summer! Although he wears me out, we do have a lot of fun together. I don't however, get much jewelry made! Plenty of time to make jewelry, he's growing up too fast so I'm going to enjoy these times he still likes to hang out with me! I know all too soon it won't be "cool" to hang with MOM so I'll take it while I can get it!

Riverwalk Festival

The 2nd Saturday of Riverwalk Art Festival was yesterday and it was so much fun. It was hot and sticky but I sold several pieces of jewelry and had fun hanging with my friends. Need to make new items and can't wait to use some new beads I just picked up at the bead show last weekend!

Where Has Time Gone?!

It's been a month since my last post....my son is out of school for the summer and he is keeping me quite busy! I'm blessed that he's healthy and active and all BOY. We have 15 fish, 2 water frogs, 1 bull frog, 1 large turtle....all on our back deck since school has been out! He's taking a moment to pet the cat...it's nice to relax! More jewelry to come soon!

Only 5 Days Until . . . . . . .

Only 5 days until Mayfest/Local Art Festival. I've been making several new pieces of jewelry and new earring cards .... it's in the presentation! I will be at the "Brady" District of Mayfest so I'm hoping anyone who reads this and is local will stop by.

Jewelry for Mayfest

Getting ready for Mayfest! Last year was my first year at the "Blue Dome" and this year it's split up and I'll actually be in the "Brady District". Come and see our booth, I'm sharing booths with some really amazing jewelry artists! It's so much fun to be there and there are so many talented artists locally that will be setting up their artwork! Should be another great time!

Spring is Here!

I love this time of the year. Flowers beginning to bloom and time to start planting some new plants. I need to design my back yard, we're going to put in a small water feature but I don't have a plan made up yet! Landscaping is not my talent!

How Do You Edit Your Photos?

I etched these pieces about a month ago and finally made them into necklaces. The longer one is to be wrapped around the neck twice! How do you edit your pictures before adding to the blog?? I have Photoshop Elements 8 and by the time I figure out how to use this photo editing program......I'll probably be done creating jewelry!!!

New Necklace

Made a new necklace and several pair of earrings which I'll add in a couple days. I'm really trying to be better at updating this blog. Today, Easter, was a beautiful day. Besides celebrating Jesus, the weather here is perfect.. not too hot, a gentle breeze. I wish we had more days of this kind of weather!
