I can't believe I haven't posted since May. I unfortunately had loads of health issues last year including my New Year's eve broken arm 2012. I still have limited feeling in my fingers but I hope within next few months that will clear up. I am starting on a complete renewal of my creativity, my business and my life. We will be selling our home this year and I will be quitting my day job! I will be concentrating on my jewelry business full time as well as enjoying my husband and my life more.
Here is a beautiful sunset last week where we live.
I know it will be hard to leave this beautiful view but it is time to start anew.
I have been working on some new designs in my abstract painted designs. These will be on my website in the next few weeks but here is a preview of two of them.
I really enjoy painting on glass. How do you think they turned out? What kind of necklace would you design for these. I usually sell them with a chain necklace but I am thinking of embellishing a few of these and maybe wire wrapping some. I have all different colors and I am experimenting with combined colors and dichroic glass. I also am attempting to use some copper components I purchased from Wild Hare Design to combine with my glass. I wasn't able to do much due to my arm so mostly I just burned up a piece while experimenting haha!
Stay tuned for some exciting new work and look for my involvement with Lori Anderson's Bead Soup Blog party later in the Spring.
I think that those pendants would be gorgeous using Kumihino braiding to pick up the colors.
ReplyDeleteGood luck in your new home and I envy you your retirement. I am really looking forward to the days I can concentrate on what I want rather then what my employer wants.
The painted glass reminds me of encaustics, only in miniature. I like them.
