New techniques!

I may have been absent from the blog for a long while, but that doesn't mean I've stopped creating jewelry! 

I have been working hard at learning new techniques and improving on them. For my birthday in 2015, I took a wire wrapping class at a local bead shop. This opened up a whole new world of possibilities! I have also started vending at music festivals, which has influenced my style a bit. 

Here are a few of my recent creations I'd like to share.

Carnelian wire wrapped pendant. Tigers Eye, Amethyst, Citrine, Carnelian, and Calcite mixed gemstone necklace. Sterling silver.

Wire wrapped Peridot and Lilac Amethyst Earrings. Sterling Silver.

Sterling silver wire wrapped pendant. Amethyst and Stichtite in Serpentine.

My Studio

Now that I have been in my new apartment for... oh, eight months... I can finally show you where I create! My living room is separated into two areas, the first being your typical couch and tv room. But then I have this hardwood area that I set up as my 'studio'. This room has no less than five huge windows that let in the beautiful natural light, it's an artist's dream!

Here is my desk, which usually isn't this clean... I keep my tools and such in the green drawers, in easy reach. A cork board hangs on the wall for inspirational photos and in-progress projects. The tall shelf in the back (first photo) holds all of my beads, which are stored in plastic containers and separated by color or material. It was custom built for me by my mom using free pallet wood (She's so talented!). One day I will get around to painting it.

This is the opposite wall from the desk, and has a nice closet to hide my mountains of other crafts supplies and display items. I have a life-sized mannequin which not only looks good at shows, but she helps me a lot when designing necklaces. It's much easier to tell the length of a piece or how it lays when worn. Another shelf holds all my finished jewelry and packaging supplies. Lastly, a chair, which usually holds a sleeping cat :)
