My handmade enameled jewelry sets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have been determined to stay away from engaging in 3 things:\u00a0 bobbin lace, quilting, & beading.\u00a0 I KNOW I would enjoy doing all three.\u00a0 BUT I know that all three of these artforms require a considerable outlay of time and money for supplies\/materials.\u00a0 In otherwords, these artforms can ‘consume’ a person such as myself.\u00a0 Thus, I have stayed focused first on tatting (and other things relating to tatting: designing, publishing, shuttle-making–sterling silver & enameling) and specialty needlework techniques including needlelaces.<\/p>\n

However, once a year I go to the local rock club’s (which I just joined this year!)<\/em> Rock, Gem & Mineral Show with a good friend.\u00a0 Once there, I am tempted and do buy some strands of natural beads.\u00a0 This same friend (Thanks Lisa L.S.!) also taught me how to turn my bead strands into jewelry using stringing\/finishing techniques.<\/p>\n

Just recently, I pulled out all the beads that I had strung and finished them into necklaces–the four from L to R.<\/p>\n

The bottom photo is of my handmade enameled jewelry.\u00a0 I have a cobalt blue blouse I wear the right set with.\u00a0 I still need to find the perfect outfit for the purple jewelry set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
