Football Season is here!


Yes, it's that time of year again when I can cheer my Green Bay Packers! Yes, I'm a Cheesehead. Being so, it inspired me to come up with a unique piece of jewelry to let everyone know, I love the Pac. If you have a favorite team and would like me to custom make your team, let me know! I will come up with something unique and fun just for you!

Back To School














Well, it's that time of year again! In honor of all of the great teachers out there, I have come up with some unique ideas for your favorite teacher. When I found these cool metallic anodized aluminum rulers, I just knew I needed to make some cool jewelry out of them. I ended up making ruler rings, "teachers rule" necklaces and charm bracelets. They were a big hit!

Jewelry Projects

Well, once the weather cools down and it's not 125 degrees in my garage, I'm going to be working with a book with projects and then posting on my blog as I go. Give you the ups and downs of the projects etc. I have 4 books to choose from, but have not picked the one yet. So, check back often! (And pray for cooler weather!!)

Wire Pod Rings




I have been wanting to learn how to make these unique wire pod rings for a while now. So I decided to purchase a tutorial on how to make them. I purchased from Interweave.com and some antique colored aluminum wire to practice. My first and second attempt making these wire rings went OK I guess. Here is what they look like. I think some more practice and tweaking for different sized beads is needed. The tutorial was very well done. I hope to buy more tutorials in the future. Stay posted. You never know what I'm up to these days.
