Watercolors on Enamel

In today's enameling class at the St. Lucie County Rock & Gem Club, I practiced with watercolors.  It may not be a Van Gogh, but I am happy with the results.

8th BEAD SOUP BLOG PARTY

Tomorrow is the date to find out my bead soup partner!  So excited!!!  We both pick out a stash of beads and components to send to each other and then we make jewelry from the stash we receive. 

Not only do I get to make a new friend, I get to play with more BEADS!!!!  Very interested to see if what I make matches up to her original vision!

Jewelry Makers of the Treasure Coast

Had a wonderful lunch today with other members of the Jewelry Makers of the Treasure Coast Meetup Group at the Elliott Museum on Hutchinson Island.  Our meeting was one of several to generate continued interest in the group and to map out our objectives for the group.

Carole Grant will be providing a questionnaire for members to review and fill out, so we can see who wants to actively participate in this Meetup Group.  If you are interested in joining this group, go to Jewelry Makers on the Treasure Coast.

Catch up time!

Today has been a very busy day catching up!  Now it is blog time.

Since my last posting I have taken another copper class at the Gem and Mineral Society of the Palm Beaches.  Arlene Lazarro is an excellent teacher.  We made a copper fold bracelet with a cold connection bezel and then completed a cold form pendant.  Can't wait to make more copper cuffs!  LOVE THEM!!!

Winter Blossom...

One of the things that I need to get in the habit of doing is naming my pieces.  Today I cut and grinded a Dendritic Jasper cabachon and the finished pattern reminds me of a bouquet of flowers and so ... a "Winter Blossom" is born.
