I haven't forgotten about you....

Hi guys! Well the Spring Step By Step Wire should be out in a few weeks I cannot wait!!! My swirl wire design (pictured above) will be featured. And... my newest Chain Maille design was also snatched up by SBS Wire for their Summer Issue! I am also currently working on a project for Bead Unique as well. I've been a busy girl behind the scenes.

And there is a bead shop in town that may pick me up to teach some summer Wire and Chain Maille classes. Did ya catch all of that???

I love staying busy though. Well I suppose I should get back to bathing doggies. Miss Bunny was bred last week keep your fingers crossed ;-) I am going to try to keep this blog more updated... Toddles!!!!!!

New Design!!!!!!

Long time no hear from me I know I know I have been neglecting my Blog! I have been really busy with work and Custom Orders though. The piece above is similar to a Custom Order I just finished up. I've had quite a few requests lately for more Chain Maille. I had a client who wanted something new a fresh so I came up with this. I combined my two favorite chains, Rosettes and Parallel Chain. More detailed photo below:

The piece above is off to its new home. I have to say I am so happy with how this new chain combo turned out. I used larger rings, but not too large, for a chunkier look. Its sophisticated without being 'stuffy'. The very top piece (and another one too!) will be posted for sale tomorrow morning. I am also working on a few other new pieces too.

Well in weather news we had a banner day here in sunny VA. I had the day off (yeah!) and it was a whopping 79 here! The doggies are going to enjoy some frozen yougurt tonight for a treat. Well I am off to get my Ben & Jerry's fix! Check out the site tomorrow morning for those two new pieces...

Snowy day in VA...

Yes you read that right it snowed this morning! Thats Avery eating the snow off of the deck. It only lasted for about an hour here, then turned into slushy yuck. But it was fun while it lasted! Today I got a bunch of new sizes of jump rings in the mail. I played with some of those this afternoon on a brand spanking new design I am working on. This new design is for a Custom Order, but I may make a few slightly different ones for the site too. So far I am very happy with my brand new Chain Maille design. It combines two popular styles. More to come once it is finished. Well I am off have a busy day tomorrow. Hows the weather where you all are???

My afternoon at Kohls...

Hi guys! Well this afternoon I went to Kohls with my Aunt Andrea. Well we are by the lotions and she says smell this and shoves a lotion by my nose. Well she squeezed a little so I could smell it and the damn thing near blew up in my face! Litteraly!!!!!! Up my nose, on my shirt, all over the floor and some on her too. After we were all cleaned up we had a very good laugh about it and will for years to come I am sure. Never a dull moment ;-)
Hopefully next weekend I will have a few new designs to share. Awaiting some more Sterling rings for Chain Maille (hint, hint). Well I am off to spend some time with the doggies. Enjoy your weekend!

All Settled in...

Hi guys! Did ya miss me??? Well I'm all settled in here in VA. I cannot get over how amazing the weather is. And how nice the people are too. The doggies are loving all of their parks and new surroundings. I thought I would miss the snow but I definatly don't.

I'm busily plugging away at a few Custom Orders (Thank you!). And I'm also in contact with yet another magazine. More news on that soon.
Through these few Custom Orders, I have a few new ideas that I just might have to try out in the meantime...

BTW, Thats BBQ guarding his new butterfly!

Merry Christmas!!!
