Just a few of my designs....crummy photos though...

I love doing wirework....there's just something about taking a nondescript length of metal wire, than twisting, turning, and curling it into a unique setting for a beautiful stone....like this Rhodochrosite...


Or this Montana Agate...


While I enjoy doing most kinds of beading, I generally find seed beads to be just too "fiddly".  But recently I discovered the new twin-style beads....definitely more fun....

Bead Soup Blog Party Time!

I'm hoping to start up my art jewelry business soon -- been a bit sidetracked by life for awhile.  So, to get my muse revved up, I've decide to take part in the Bead Soup Blog Party.  After sending off a package of cool beads and findings to my trading partner, I'll get a package in return -- then the fun begins -- creating something new using the contents of the beady surprise package.  Can't wait.....

Almost seven years ago I joined the blogging world, then promptly dropped back out.   Perhaps it's time that I give it another shot.  Creative writing has never been my forte, so please bear with me as I muddle through.....
