The old way on the left and my new Viking Knit tool on the right with no more setup..

I have been making jewelry for about 15 years now..I learned wirework years ago from Lynne Merchant, she is such a great teacher. I took a class several years ago from Tracy Stanley to learn Viking Knit, I just loved it. But to start it the old way you have to wrap a piece of copper around a piece of cardboard then center it on top of a dowel and spread the loops out even and tape them so they didn't move..Oh my gosh that isn't fun..well after all these years I finally designed a tool where there is NO more set up, can you believe that..it is the most awesome tool, I just love it..I can't imagine anyone ever doing it the old way again..Anyway I have a website where you can order it, so hurry over and buy one you are going to love it..http://vikingknittool.com/index.html Look at the beautiful Viking knit on these bracelets I made....Terri Brush is having a class using my new Viking Knit Tool on Sept. 12 hurry over and sign up for it http://www.terribrushdesigns.com/index.html More later, Barbara

Actually I decorated the kitchen months ago but I never took a picture of it..So today I decided I am going to update my blog and show everyone my pretty kitchen..I just love how it turned out.. I promise I won't take months for my next post, I have been working on my studio and hopefully it will be finished soon..I just need to strip some furniture and repaint it. I want the colors to be black, off white and pink..I just painted a table black that is going to be my computer desk..I bought a old dresser I plan to strip and paint black, I will put the printer on top and use the drawers for all the stuff that was in my other computer desk..my other desk was to much like a office desk not the look I wanted...Then I have a really nice dinette set with a round table I plan to paint the table black and the chairs white and give them that antique look..and I'm hoping for handpainted roses on the backs..I'm changing my window valances to a beautiful pink fabric and I just made them not that long ago with a really pretty yellow, oh well....I will try to be better at posting from now on.........Barbara
