I taught a class


Yesterday I had the best time I taught my first wire jewelry class. I was a guest artist at my friend Terri's..We all made beautiful wire bracelets with soldered charms, I taught the wirework and Terri taught the soldered charms it was soooo much fun, everyone went home with a awesome bracelet.........We just sold our home at the lake and are building our new home mile out of Elma, WA...My husband Burt has designed a large teaching studio for me, I can't wait to start teaching I have so many ideas to share with all of you that can come..As we build the house I will share pictures with you so you can see the progress..and in about 6 weeks I will show a picture of a little surprise we are expecting, I will save it for a surprise...I wanted to share this picture of the bracelet I made for the class yesterday..Have a Happy Easter everyone.

I have to tell you guys what happened the other day..I was at a new friends house Terri Brush we were making jewelry together she makes the most awesome soldered glass necklaces and also bezeled necklaces that just knocked my socks off when I saw them..Anyway we had got together and she was giving me a class in making her soldered jewelry and I was giving her a class in wirework..We had a wonderful day Terri is a wonderful teacher and anyone interested in these beautiful necklaces need to sign up with her for classes..While we were playing with our jewelry she asked do you have a blog and I said no but I really wanted to have one..she emailed back saying "I can help you make one" well what a nice thing for her to say and I thought one of these days I will have her show me how...Well we emailed back and forth and then came this email that said " YOUR BLOG" I clicked on the email and there was a link to MY BLOG..OH MY GOSH she made me a blog she designed it, named it, even gave me a password..I was soooo happy, what a surprise, now I have a blog..oh my then I started getting nervous, what do I say, I think I'm afraid of my blog..Well it's been several days of hiding from my blog and today I decided I have to write something........I am a artist that makes wire jewelry, I've been doing it for over 10 years and my husband makes lampwork beads....We just sold our house yesterday and plan to move to our other property where we own 3 Shetland ponies..We will be building our own home and I will show you pictures as we build it..After our home is built I plan to give classes in wire jewelry and hope maybe someday I can meet a few of you in a class....
