I found myself learning so much about jewelry making these past few weeks before we took our vacation. Whew, I really have such a respect for jewelry makers, it is very detailed work. I love making the beads from my paper designs and polymer clay. The assembling of the jewelry is challenging and I have learned so much!
Here’s my latest necklaces and earrings:
I absolutely love making jewelry, it’s been so much fun and so fascinating to me to discover the combinations of colors and designs one can come up with. The process of making my swirly beads out of my Nature’s Best Art work and making beads out of polymer clay is what I love best. The assembling (putting the materials using the hardware called “findings”) has been very challenging, but I’m learning a little bit more each day and what tools to use as to how this is done. It honestly has given me so much joy to do this. I plan to get back to watercolor painting this Fall and can’t wait to do that too. I’m trying to figure out a way to teach that. Anyone have any ideas? I think it would be fun to do private lessons, or a couple people at once – what do you think of that? I also plan to keep up with making jewelry and using my Nature’s Best Art scraps I call my Decorative Art Collection. Nothing goes to waste in my craft room!
While Summer is winding down I hope this finds you at peace and in good health.
Please let me know what you think of this jewelry.
Happy Creating,
Vicki
