back and forth

My two lives. My late night/early mornings life of mad crafty energy, where my fingers itch to create and my mild mannered day life of teaching, biking, tennis and the love of my life!

The ultimate wrapping

This is it. The way I want to go. Not copying Eni, inspired by Paradigm Shift who has moved on herself, this is wrapping the kinds of cabs I like to shape, in a style that challenges and fascinates me. AND is soothing to do.

'Hidden Earthquakes'


























'Blushing Dragons'


























'Dark Tidepools'

























Rings too!
















I opened a new site for my jewelry - brand new. I even have 24 hearts already! It's at http://organicmetallurgy.etsy.com

I still need to go to an actual gallery and bring the work. I am spending an inordinate amount of time wrapping. I love doing it. BUT ~ it's the Sock Bugs that pays for supplies! So I really need to sew. Perhaps a schedule, since I tend to be a rather obsessive worker otherwise, and have wire and cabochons on the mind. :)

I've been accepted into the juried site 'Handmade Fuzion' that's supposed to go live next month. I plan to apply to 'Trunkt' when I have more rings made. I know it's not exactly the right direction, but it gets me seen, so it can't really hurt. I NEED to email some AZ and CA galleries and direct them to my sites. But first...a new school year starts in TWO DAYS!!
