New concrete jewelry method

This week in class I have been learning about concrete jewelry. My piece is made with copper, faceted stones, and concrete. The other student used a center stone with copper pieces radiating around it. The teacher did a spiral in the concrete.

One of the other students used seed beads and grout. It looked like a mini mosaic, very pretty.

I am not convinced that I will be doing any more. The frame construction takes up almost a whole class period.

The mini mosaic looks interesting enough to try. Again, the frame will have to be constructed.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week and will have a wonderful weekend.

Sunday afternoon

I have been very lazy in blogging and just about everything else.

My last enameling class was Friday. I have two more classes in jewelry construction and then a six week layoff. I will be going through withdrawals.

Here is my last enamel piece.

Happy Easter

It is a beautiful day in Tucson, great for hunting Easter eggs. Yesterday was rather dreary.
Here is hoping everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Getting ready for classes

My work has come to a halt while waiting the arrival of silver wire. Jump rings and earwires need to be made to complete projects.

This week at class I hope to learn to dome objects that are not circles or squares. At enameling, a cloisonne project has my name on it. The first one that I completed last year is awful. Here's hoping I improve.

The weather is beautiful except for the wind. It is inching up to the 90's.

Here's hoping everyone is having a good week.

Second Sale

Today I completed my second sale. The person who purchased the item was very excited, whew.

I started working on a turquoise and graduated copper bead necklace. The pattern is starting to take shape. Tomorrow I will string it.

There are many projects that have been started but not enough hours in the day.

Exciting classes this last week in enameling and in construction. Now I need to apply the lessons.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
