Wow, it took FOREVER to get over the plague this time!
But I am finally over it and back to the jewelry bench. :)
I'm a bit slower than I was before, but that's not really shocking, given how long I was down.
However, I have gotten new items going. I got a beautiful little agate cabochon from a friend, and I was going to wrap that in sterling and put it on a sterling chain... however I can't find my soft sterling. I found my full hard, and 1/2 hard, but those are good for the frames, not so good for the winding bits. :D
So it got wrapped in silverplate. I then cut black wire for a green and black stone I found.... and mis-measured, so the wire wasn't long enough. So that got put onto a nifty black and grey donut I found. I try to make sure even mis-cut wire doesn't go to waste!
I have a new bracelet made with copper wire and these great multicolor beads that my sister picked up for me in Nigeria. I have more beads, this time from Ghana, on their way to me this weekend! Woohoo! Since I can't travel anywhere at the moment (lack of funds), at least my sister is willing to shop for me when she is out and about. :)
I will post pictures when I get them taken and uploaded.
I'm overhauling a lot of things around me and in my life. This is going to include this blog. Jewelry isn't the only thing I do. Crafts aren't the be all and end all of my day. I'm going to expand what goes into this blog some. This is going to be more of a place to ramble about what am I cooking, what crafts am I working on, what did I see on my walk today, or anything else that comes to mind. This will not include work, not in any way, shape, or form.
