Show prep.

I'm still plugging away at finishing up some pieces for Fibrefest this weekend. I'm in the assembly stage. I have a number of copper focal pieces ready to have things added to them and then put on some kind of chain.

 This banner design is a new one for this year. I enjoy making a bunch of different word banners and then I lay them out on the table and chose what charms and beads will go with the word. No 2 ever come out the same. It's also one of my favourite every day necklaces to wear because it's simple and very comfortable but the word is great inspiration for my day.

 The word Bloom seems to pop up a lot in my work this year. I think it's to remind me to do just that.

BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED!

This necklace sat on my work table for some time as I decided if it needed more than one flower. I was so tempted to rivet more flowers on but I loved the etched background so much I didn't want to hide any more of it. So I solved my dilemma by hanging a butterfly and flower at the top.  I've been playing with creating different kinds of chains lately. This one is seed beads woven through a simple copper chain. Sometimes I just get tired of hanging everything on a plain chain.

I have a little jewelry break this morning as I head out for some Tai Chi but I'll be back at it this afternoon.

Have a creative day!

Quick note

A quick note to show you my display at Fibrefest this past weekend. It was a wonderful show and I'd like to thank all those people who came to visit me. I met so many interesting people I forgot to take pictures. So these pictures are from my friend Sheila. I've been getting a lot of complement on my display since a changed it this summer. I think it now has a great vintage feel with the antique suit case and wicker basket that goes well with my copper and brass jewelry.

Well today is going to be a catch up day after a busy weekend and the last few days. A little house cleaning and then back to more jewelry creating. I've started a few new pieces. I'll get them posted as soon as they're presentable.
