Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors: September 2009
http://wovenwire.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors. I began making this style of earring last winter on a whim, almost, and have become quite enamored of the style. I make the frames by soldering (yes! Both of these earrings, and others, should be posted in my etsy shop. By the end of today (Wednesday)! Links to this post. If you recall, you customized that gorgeous gold wire and bronze pearl choker, and delivered it (thanks! To me at work. I would just like you to know that everyone LOVES it! Thanks so ver...

Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors: Did You Buy Art This Year? Part Two
http://wovenwire.blogspot.com/2009/12/did-you-buy-art-this-year-part-two.html
Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors. Did You Buy Art This Year? This is a continuation of yesterday's post. Check that out to see more of the art that I bought for myself this year. This fun horse was in the booth next to me at the Boulder Art Fair and made me smile all weekend. I just had to take her home with me! Another piece of folk-art, and a long heart-shape too! I cannot find the business card for this artist either; it has been one of those years. Finally, some 2-D art! Re the horse a...

Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors: February 2009

Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors. This necklace is 5-stitch Viking knitting with the turquoise chips worked into the weave. I didn't make it long enough, and so had to add the links on the ends. I thought the result would be awful, but I find that I like the effect. Links to this post. In March and April there will be two or three more. Now it is time to wait. Waiting is awful! On some weekends, I also applied to a "back-up" show, in an attempt to make sure I get into SOMETHING! I finally ...

Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors: December 2008
http://wovenwire.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors. A Tale of Two Hearts. The most recent issue of Art Jewelry Magazine. Contained a small teaser for the next issue, which will feature a simple wirework heart pin by Sharilyn Miller. I don't usually recreate any magazine projects, but I HAD to make this pin. And I had to make it for Christmas! As usual, I used the photo as a guide and made my own version with no further instruction. I am sure I'll make another (or three or four) when the March issue comes out.

Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors. And this is what professional photography can do for you:. Photos I took of these two pieces were posted earlier this month. They were alright for a blog or website, but cannot compare to these! They don't even look like the same pieces! These photos were taken by Larry Sanders, of Sanders Visual Images. Links to this post. Capturing the Inaugural Moment. I did not travel to Washington D.C. for President Obama's (I just LOVE that phrase! I am so thrilled!

Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors: October 2009

Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors. Flat weaving with wire. I have finally finished the tutorial on making a woven bracelet! I began work on this way back in March, and actually had most of the work done by April, but then the busy art show season intervened. I poked along on it, and began to make a concerted push to get it done in September. Now it is the end of October and time for release! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors: Did You Buy Art This Year?

Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors. Did You Buy Art This Year? One of the wonderful things about selling my work at art fairs is that I get to see a lot of great art, and one of the wonderful things about having other people buy MY work is that I get to then pass on my good fortune by buying the work of other artists and craftspeople. I am going to devote the next few days to presenting the art that I bought for myself this year. The copper is patinaed with real leaves. I appreciate that...

Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors: Booth Evolution-Part One
http://wovenwire.blogspot.com/2009/11/booth-evolution-part-one.html
Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors. I've been thinking of writing this series of blog posts for quite a while now, and have finally gotten around to collecting most of the photos of my booth as it changed over the last four years. The first art show I did was in March of 2006, and fortunately I didn't have to submit a photo of my booth set-up because I didn't have one when I applied! The earring cards are OK for indoor shows, but the first outdoor show I attended demonstrated why this doesn'...

Woven Wire Jewelry and Other Creative Endeavors. Spring Mix of Pearls. I made this set last weekend and find, again, that I adore these pieces! The other new thing about this necklace is the hook and eye. Well, the eye portion, really. I needed to make sure the eye was truly secure, so I soldered it closed. Nothing earth-shattering, to be sure, but a new addition for me! I already know what the next two (TWO! Links to this post. Links to this post. Viking Knit Set, Gold with Amber and Pearl. 160;Both ...
