Creative Diversion
I don't know one artistic/crafty person that only does just one thing. They all dabble in several creative mediums.
I am no exception.
Lately I have felt the need to paint. I had talked to my brother who explained one of his techniques to me that he teaches in his art class.
Cut a piece of board, or use a canvas board. Schmere a mess of spackle on the board and use different objects to cut designs into the spackle. Let it dry, seal it, and paint!!!! My brother used acrylic paints for his spackle creations, I used the tubes of craft acrylic paint, to see if I liked it, before I invested in some good quality acrylic paint.
Welp - guess what.... I love this!! This is a great form of expression and good therapy too. You can't make a mistake. If you don't like it, paint over it. How cool is that! My brother gifted me with a box full of paint, and I can't wait to start exploring more.
What art do you like to or have you wanted to explore?
p.s. - i'll be posting a how to on this technique next week :)

Fun Copper Earrings
These are some of my biggest sellers.
Make a coil of 20 or 18 ga wire around your round nosed pliers. 10 or 11 wraps.
Lay the coil on your anvil and carefully hammer away from you. Meaning when you strike the coil, dont' strike straight down, but push across and away from you on the coils. This will flatten them.
You may need to reshape the end coils some, then add a bauble and your ear wires.
WAH-LA!

Maidens Promise - Quartz and Jasper
I have watched too many movies, and I romanticize the Medieval era. That is what this necklace reminds me of. It is the simplicity of the jasper and quartz strands woven together, with a very simple focal. Primitively elegant!
The necklace that has been passed down generation after generation.
The young girl that wants to wear the necklace so bad but she isn't old enuff yet.
The upheaval of the village.
The girl wandering.
The girl finds the necklace.
The girl takes back her village.
Ya know, that kinda thing - I am such a geek :)
Maybe I will write a story, inspired by this piece.
What would you add to the story?
