Hmmm i havn't blogged for ages now. I have been busy with little jewellery ventures selling some jewellery. Now i have a lull for 2 weeks and then my first jewellery teaching workshop aaaaargggh.
I seem to have lost a bit of momentum with the Folksy clarification on "handmade" and "hand assembled". Although our shop all bar one item was acceptable in our jewellery lines it has made myself and my twin sister think long and hard about what exactly we are going to make and design with our jewellery.
My jewellery started with 6 week jewellery course with different projects and so i have leaned towards beaded jewellery and some woven jewellery which i quite like too. My sister has attended silversmith courses and enamel and her leaning is towards silversmith techniques which she will still be doing along with some other ideas she has.
I am now thinking along the lines of more metalwork in some of my jewellery cold connections but making my own from sheet metal to begin with and expanding my skills gradually. All this requires new tools! I do have a vision of what i hope to be able to achieve in say 6 months to 1 years time which is totally different to what i am doing now which i find challenging and quite exciting although i will keep my hand in with other techniques too.
I would also like to blog more frequently with tutorials and blog on my experiments too it just all takes time.
Hope to be back soon with more news
