A great taste of it was my experience today: 80+ degrees, sun and a little dirt under the fingernails from some outside work. Just the beginning of that! But, not to get too excited because colder temperatures are expected to return for the weekend. That's ok, I can use the time to continue my much-needed, way-overdue overhauling of my workspace (and many other spaces in my house!), and for more projects. I have an extensive art and craft show schedule over the next several months, so much inventory will be needed.
Speaking of inventory, I am working on a few new lines: hardware-inspired and composed jewelry, using nuts, washers, retainer rings, cotter pins, hardware chain and wire and more. Pretty cool stuff. Then, on a completely opposite end of the hardware style is my handpainted lace jewelry. I paint a pattern or blend colors, then connect or add beads, chain, etc. to construct very feminine very unique jewelry. Could be a basis for some wedding jewelry, with June just around the corner and all!! Photos coming soon (I have them on my phone just need to get them HERE!)
