Great Things

Giveaways and tutorials, how can you get any better then that? Kind of hard, I'm guessing. And I came across these two as I was lounging away my Sunday at the computer. First, let's talk about this giveaway. Yay, jewelry inspiration is always a plus, in my book. And this DVD is going to be packed with it. Actually, there are three DVDs to give away. This is just one of them. Just click the book cover to go to the blog and learn how you could win.  Thanks Lori!!

And this great tutorial can help you turn a simple ball head pin into a cute little rosette for you jewelry designs.  I love this, it's a small detail with big impact, don't you think!  Just click the picture below to be taken to Kristen's blog tutorial.  You'll also find a link to her Etsy shop where she sells all her yummy metal jewelry goodness.  Thanks Keirsten!

Hearts: not just for Valentine's Day!

I love hearts. Doesn't matter what kind: metal, glass, clay. They're fun, and always unique. Why should they be just for Valentine's day? I say hearts are for every day!

To the left are dainty sterling silver heart shaped charm earrings, with genuine tourmaline dangles. Very sweet little earrings for any age.

Next I used thick copper wire, hammered for texture, and shaped into a heart. What a delight to wear. More copper embelishments on a black satin cord. This necklace will go with any outfit, casual or dressy. All hand shaped wireworking, by me!
















Last, but not least, I have my glass lampwork hearts. Hand made by me, using a torch and soft glass rods. Hearts are so fun to create because you can shape them traditionally, or add a little twist and tail. How about a little swirl for added interest! The possibilities are endles.
