  • Barn Collage Jewelry Art

    A couple of days ago I got an idea to do a barn scene on canvas, made from paper. It was a great idea, in theory, but I had no idea how to make a barn. Essentially, I knew it would start with a drawing, because for me, a drawing provides guidelines. I thought I’d…

  • Keywords in Jewelry Art

    For quite a while now I have been on a figurative creative sew saw of sorts. Put my art online or don’t. The way it usually plays out is, I almost get my nerve up to do it, then I chicken out. Currently, I am way past ‘considering’ it and have taken some forward steps!…

  • Last Minute Gift Idea

    If you like to make gifts, paper mache trinket boxes are a pretty easy to make gift idea. The boxes themselves are affordable. The ones I got were 6 for $3.99. Because I’m in a Tuesday night bowling league, I decided to make gift boxes for the women bowlers. In my last post, I shared…

  • Jewelry Art Recipe

    Yesterday I was thinking about something pretty cool. Jewelry art is sort of like cooking. In cooking, we have an idea of what we want to eat, gather the ingredients we need, put them together by tweaking them here and there for flavor, and we end up with the dish we wanted. Jewelry art is…

  • Gift for a Blogging Friend

    Carissa at Humbly Homemade and I are having a gift swap! I finally got her piece done (about 5 minutes ago) and I want to show it to you, with a little how-to, in case you’re wondering how to do something similar. Step One: Step Two: Step Three: Step Four: Step Five: Here’s the final…

  • How to Start Part One

    Want to try making jewelry art? I thought of a fun and easy project for us to do to start making jewelry art. Things needed: (Feeling a need to mention that beads can be choking hazards, so watch out for that around kids and babies.) Step One: With your glue bottle, use it like a…

  • The Beginning

    After we do something for awhile, we seem to get used to it. We may develop a rhythm or way of excelling through things after we try it on for awhile. The beginning though? Whew! Sometimes it can be a doozy! While waiting for paint, supplies, and canvas to be bought, I decided to try…

  • Reuse Items for Jewelry Art

    One of the things I love about jewelry art is that most of my supplies are from reused and recycled items. For example, when I buy jewelry online, I search for ‘used’ or ‘pre-owned.’ I do that for two reasons: 1. Vintage jewelry, to me, feels sturdier. Meaning, the metals are stronger and don’t break…

  • Surfaces for Jewelry Art

    Canvases are just one idea to use when making jewelry art. What I like about them is: a blank canvas lets us create ’unique to us’ art- we can design a heart, a house, a pattern, or whatever we choose a blank canvas opens the door to many possibilities- we could paint the background, paint…

  • Jeweled Dolphin Art

    Sometimes I make art to give to someone. Sometimes it’s for comfort, sometimes it’s for thanks, and sometimes it’s for no reason whatsoever. Today I’m making a dolphin for someone who has been so super kind to me this past month during the loss of my momma. Of course, people don’t expect return gifts for…
