Welcome to the playroom

Jewelry Design

I'm always dabbling in this or that. Jewelry making, bath-bomb making, glitter and glue,  costume pieces--I always have my hands in something.

This is where I showcase my stuff. Maybe one day I'll actually put some of it on Etsy, and when I do, I'll link to my Etsy site from here. First, though, I have to take some pictures of my work.

Like this one.

This was done with black Czech glass beads that I found in a local bead shop, along with some gold spacers and bead caps. It's about 16", and my inspiration was necklaces worn by women in Italian Renaissance paintings. There is always such good jewelry inspiration in museums. I must do something Egyptian or Mesopotamian soon.
