Announcing :: Art Jewelry with Diane Cook!

I am happy to announce two very special art jewelry workshops coming up in Studio CRESCENDOh on July 11th and 12th with Diane Cook.

On July 11th, she will teach the Brave He{ART} class where students will learn to design and assemble a repousse heart. Repousse is a method of decorating metals with hammers and punches.

On July 12th, Diane will teach the Viking Knit Bracelet. Viking knit is a form of knitting and looping, which you will do with wire!

Can't wait? Me either. Enrollment is NOW open here and here.

See you in Studio CRESCENDOh. If you want to. :)

Paper Boat Necklace in a Bottle

I like that obsession takes you in all directions ... sometimes big and sometimes super tiny. Like these teeny tiny boats that I've been making. I like them quite a bit. And I wanted to make a commemorative something for my show this Saturday and decided that this would be it. Suspended on red string and in a bottle the boat can stay. Or it can be taken out and worn as a necklace. I'll be putting some up on my little Etsy shop as well for those who can't make it to the show. :)

Announcing :: Basic Silversmithing Jewelry with April Meeker!

 

I am super excited to announce a very special basic silversmithing class with April Meeker of Secondsister!

In this one-day class, April will equip students with a kit that contains everything you need to make a unique stamped and soldered sterling band ring and a stamped leather cuff with a silver plaque.

The workshop is scheduled for Saturday, November 9th and enrollment is open right here.

 

 

Announcing :: Belts, Bracelets, and Straps with Amy Hanna

I'm excited to announce a brand NEW workshop that will be taking place in Studio CRESCENDOh by the uber-talented Amy Hanna. It is called Belts, Bracelets and Straps and enrollment is open now, right here. Amy will show samples and provide instruction on how to juxtapose vintage elements with leather and some of ther other favorite materials.

She'll provide a basic buckle and leather pieces that can be used to create a belt, and another basic buckle that can be used to make a bracelet.




If there are treasured items in your collection ... like tin types, pennants, patches, and other special items, you are encouraged to bring them to class as Amy helps you design one-of-a-kind straps that can become belts, bracelets, or straps for bags.

I am honored to have Amy lead this fantastic class in Studio CRESCENOh. It's gonna be a good one.

See you in the Studio. :)

Enroll for Amy's class here.

Soldering with Terri Brush :: Rock Star Moment

Last Saturday during the soldering class with Terri Brush, it was a total rock star moment when she said to everyone ... "OK ... from all the pieces you've got going, pick your favorite and finish it!"

It got all of us to power through and finish a piece ... making each of us feel like complete and total rock stars. Here's the one I finished. Love it SO much.

Here's a second one that I ALMOST finished ... just needs a chain to make it wearable. For both, I encased crocheted flowers that I made with perle cotton thread. So cute, right?

Here are some others that I almost finished ... little baby ones that I can't wait to wear.

And another larger one that just needs a leather cord to finish.

Terri was an amazing teacher who taught everyone not only how to solder, but important principles of etching, and how to make cold connections.

During our lunch break, our group decided to squeeze in a quick trip to the Santa Ana Elk's Lodge to say hello to the good people at Glitterfest. So fun.

So Terri will be back in March 2013 to offer 2 full days of jewelry-making. It'll be the Sunday and Monday that dovetails Glitterfest ... so save the date!

See you in the studio.

Soldered Hearts Jewelry Workshop with Terri Brush!

This past Saturday for our party, I had the pleasure and thrill of wearing a brand new design by Terri Brush. A soldered heart shadow box attached to etched and stamped metal. It was great fun receiving so many compliments on it.

I'm excited to officially announce that Terri Brush will be teaching her class in the studio in March, where students will learn how to make this very necklace.

Terri is offering this class as a one-day workshop but offering it on two days: March 10th and 11th. The content for the class will be the same, so that everyone gets to make this neckalce.

However, if there are any students who want to take the class for both days, Terri will help those studnets make this second stunning necklace on the second day. The details for the class and enrollment information can be found here.

Enrollment for Terri's class is open here.

Our full calendar of events is available here.

Soldering with Terri Brush at Art Camp

Check out my first soldered pendant. So cute, right?

I've spent all of today learning how to solder from the amazing Terri Brush. I'm so excited. I've always wanted encase my crochet within solder and I've finally learned how.

Terri has given so much by way of tending to so many special deatails for this art camp. 

I find myself surrounded by creative, funny, talented women creating all day long next to large windows with a view that takes my breath away.

My charms will evolve as I go into the next phase of using a patina to darken them and then add some wire wrapping. More to come.

Happy creating. :)

Bow & Button Necklace

Check out my new knitted and crocheted bow & button necklace. I love it. I designed it during a late-night parenthesis of life.

And of course now I'm obsessessed as I make several more for my Etsy shop and for assorted friends who also love it.

Happy Saturday. :)

Crochetologie :: Pink Pointe Necklace

Check out my latest crocheted and knitted creation. A necklace with a simplicity that I think speaks louder than many complex pieces.

That's the thing about minimalism. It speaks ... with profound depth and beauty.

Here's Monica modeling it with one of my other designs ... the three pointed necklace made of hemp. I designed Pink Pointe in honor of the upcoming event: The Farm Chicks Antiques Show that I'll be at this coming weekend in Spokane, Washington with my friend Cynthia. Along with my rocks for each customer, I'll be giving the first five (5) who buy a copy of Signature Styles that the adorable Serena Thompson and I sign, a FREE Pink Pointe necklace.

See you in Spokane. :)
