  • Beautiful New Things

    It’s fun to get new stuff, even when it’s not exactly new. One of my favorite things about jewelry art is the ‘upcycling’ of pieces. The idea is to take stuff that already exists and make something different with it. I thought I’d show you some new-to-me things I got recently. First up is wooden…

  • Jewelry Art for Bowlers

    Several months ago my husband asked me if I’d consider joining a bowling league. What? Who me? I was shocked! We only bowled occasionally and my scores were pretty low. Before I talked myself out of it, I said yes! We are 15 weeks into our league and I’ll tell you, I’ve made many new…

  • Went For It

    You guys!! I did it! I set up my booth in the resale shop today!!! Look at this note that was waiting for me! How sweet is that? I asked her if I could keep it! I’m going to put it in my art space. Booth when we arrived: I added my things: Here’s the…

  • Giraffes and Rhinestones

    Some cool new and vintage jewelry that I ordered came. Because I don’t have an endless amount of spending to go towards jewelry art, I shop around. Shopping around has gotten me some pretty amazing jewelry for a decent price. New to me this week is this gorgeous brooch! I’ve also been looking for giraffe…

  • Dancing Couple Brooch

    I know I always talk about how I love vintage jewelry, but this time I had to have something that’s newer. A sparkling brooch. Why the plunge for something made more recently? They’re dancing! One of the many gifts of my momma was that she passed on her absolute LoVe for music. Andddddd, dancing. We’re…

  • Chalkboard Easel

    Remember this? It became this: Want to hear the really cool thing about this piece? It’s an easel! The other side has a second chalkboard: The empty side became this: I thought I’d share some reasons why I love this kind of art, because, if you like it, it is totally something you could do.…

  • Starting New Gifts

    Yesterday I finished the last of the four gifts I’ve been working on. I got them all boxed up and ready for the post office. Today I am starting the next round of gifts. My niece had a birthday request, a cat. I researched how to draw a cat outline and sketched it on a…

  • Finding Inspiration in Art

    Sometimes, when I sit down at my art table, I have an idea of what I’ll create. Especially if I have somebody in mind that I am making it for. Other times, I sit down and see if any new ideas show up. They did today. A friend of mine owns an Etsy shop where…

  • Fairy Wing Upgrade

    Recently I wrote a post about a fairy I am working on and mentioned how at first, I had crowded the head and the wing, but after learning how to paint that hummingbird, I knew how to fix it. After that post, I kept working on the piece. I ran into a few issues with…

  • Nature Inspires Art

    A few days ago, my husband was making some vegetables to put on the grill. I walked into the kitchen when he was well into dicing and I spotted the most beautiful *flowers* on the counter! Peppers. Now, I know they’re not really flowers, but I grabbed them to take a picture anyway, because as…
