It's Been Awhile...

It's been a while since I've posted. I'm happy to announce that we bought a house in February and that's where most of my creative energy has been for the last few months. It's a simple little ranch house and we got a great deal on it. My son has a yard to run around in and we have a lot more space than we had in the apartment. I love the kitchen. I'm also happy to announce that I have set up my workspace facing a window in a sunny little room. I love working by natural light. I haven't felt this rejuvenated or creative in a very long time.

My "office."

I have made a lot of new items in the past month that I am really proud of, including some variations on the Bold Swirl Ring and I found a nifty way to use up some 18 gauge silver filled wire I've had hanging up for a while. I've been making some more "Dainty Swirl Rings" but these ones are stronger and of much more superior quality than the ones I've made in the past. I have also been working with really THICK 8 gauge wire, making Bold Swirl Bangles and a Bold Swirl Pendant which I suspended on thick leather cord.  It's different than anything I've made before.

I held a contest on my Facebook Fan Page to win a Bold Swirl Ring (in copper) and that really helped bring in a lot of traffic. I've had close to 10,000 page views in one day.  If you haven't become a fan on  Facebook, come "like" my page and tell your friends.
