Between selling jewelry at craft shows, helping my dad at Greenfest and getting that horrendous cold that’s been going around, I’ve definitely let the blog slide! This month is going to be even busier! I’m going to be selling my jewelry at a school fundraiser in Ashburn, VA this weekend, I’ve started a weekly belly dancing class at the YMCA, and I’m selling my jewelry for the 6th year in a row at the Garrett Park Nursery School Craft Show. Because of this and other upcoming December shows I have elected to not travel to Pittsburgh with my husband to visit his family for Thanksgiving. I am spending the weekend at home and will only take a break from jewelry making for part of the day on Thanksgiving to go to dinner with my Aunt and her family. Hopefully I’ll get plenty done!
I’ve introduced a new medium into my work – Bronzclay. I haven’t fired anything yet but I’ve made pieces of a box that I have to put together, as well as a couple of incense holders, a tiny little treasure bowl, and pieces for a bracelet. I’m planning on firing those pieces this week! I’m so excited! I’ve been planning on making Christmas and Hanukkah ornaments out of the Bronzclay so that I can have something non-jewelry related that still is in harmony with my jewelry.
Photos of the Bronzclay pieces will be put up as soon as I get them fired.
You sound busy busy as a bee. I look forward to seeing the pics of your bronze clay work.
