Works in Progress Wednesday. The late edition.
>> Wednesday, August 3, 2011
It's barely still Wednesday in this time zone. I've been crazy busy working all day and most of the night. Here are some of the new pendants, earrings and bracelets I've started on:
Work in progress Wednesday. Errr, I mean Thursday.
>> Thursday, July 28, 2011
While waiting to hear back from a client on a custom order this afternoon, I decided to play around with some wire.
What resulted was a funky little set of bangles. Each bangle has been hand forged and hammered with a different texture. I also made the little sterling "sea" charm.
This set hasn't been polished or given its oxidized finish yet, but it will tomorrow!
What do you think? I'm pretty happy with them and think I'll be selling them soon.

Work In Progress Wednesday Part Deux
>> Wednesday, March 9, 2011
Today is all about soldering. I am playing catch-up on some pendant and bracelet orders and also making a few new pieces that will go into my Etsy shop.
The new box springs and mattresses are in the garage waiting and the plan is to start painting the walls this weekend.
Oh, I also just discovered that the hand-me-down chest of drawers they have in their room currently and a nightstand we have in the basement have the same dental moulding detail on them.
What are YOU working on today? Read more...

So tired, what a day!
>> Saturday, February 27, 2010
Woke up at 6:30 after working until 1:30 last night to get things finished up and was out of the house at 7 this morning for the craft fair... the weather kept many of the shoppers at home but it was still a decent turnout, I made some good connections and even met up with an old family friend whom I hadn't seen since I graduated high school. Here are a couple of photos of my half of the table. (Shared the table with my friend, Paula)
Very tired, sorry this isn't a longer post, I'm off for a well deserved rest!
Making pretty stuff is exhausting!
>> Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Yawn! I am tired and achy today and sit in the dark kitchen looking out at a cloudy and wet morning. I pulled a 10 hour work day yesterday in preparation for the craft show this weekend. I hit an all time high for soldering work- 38 individual pieces cut and soldered together. 
Today I have to trim off all the excess silver and file them smooth so I can attach bails to the pendants, clasp rings to the bracelet pieces and loops to the tops of the earring pieces. Then I have to do all that attaching. If I can manage to get that finished before it's time to start dinner, I'll begin setting the pottery/shells/sea glass. I'm reallllllly hoping to get this stuff finished tonight because my back and neck are killing me from sitting, stooping and standing over this work for so many hours. (not to mention I need to get this stuff polished by Friday night so I can card it all for Saturday morning!)
Aaack, what the heck am I doing posting, I need to get to work!
Maybe later I'll treat you all to a photo which I'll entitle "The beauty of a jeweler's hands". Oh boy, that'll be a nice one!
