It's been way too long!

I cannot believe how busy I have been with "other" things!  I feel pulled in many different directions these days.  I am attempting to produce as much new work as I can for the El Dorado Hills Spring Artist Tour...May 21st and 22nd and then also for my Featured Artist Show at the Artist Collaborative Gallery this July.  Unfortunately, my work takes time...alot of time.  I am exploring new bracelets and am posting photos I took of 2 newer designs.  One of the photos is of a  blue button bracelet which I've made a duplicate.  The second bracelet will be embellished with crystal and pearls.  The fringe bracelet is really cool and fun to wear.  All those beads give the bracelet a hefty weight.  The toggles on both these bracelets were very time consuming....tension on the beads has to be just right or the toggle will be soft but if you get it right the toggles are beautiful, strong structures.

Yesterday I received some beautiful, soft leather I had ordered.  Black and brown for some men's cuff designs(women also) and a lovely matte gold leather to make a beaded collar with...can't wait!

  1. Hi! I found you in the flier for the art tour this weekend. I like your cab work. Very nicely done. I look forward to seeing more of your work on your etsy site when you get to it. I have an idea of how much work that takes cause my best bud has does that kind of work, too. She's at kathieanncreations.etsy.com. Hopefully, I'll see you this weekend.
