Inspiration can come from Pinterest, and a shopping pal

   My friend Jules likes sparkly things. So it can be easy for me to make pieces of jewelry for her.

First a belt then a bracelet

   I had to do a little housekeeping in the Creative Cave yesterday. But once that was complete I got to work on handmade jewelry. 

Wire jig bracelet

   It had been a while since I used my wire jig to make anything. So I decided to use it to make a bracelet.

Buttons and belts make bracelets

   Buttons and belts have become my latest craft obsession. 

ROY G. BIV: It's not easy being green!

   Green is my favorite color in the rainbow of colors known as ROY G. BIV. 

Through heat, sneezes and allergies...I will craft!

   It is with some surprise that I am able to show you some handmade jewelry today. 

I finished a past project!

   Back in the spring when I decided to branch out from making just earrings I started making micro-suede braided bracelets.

A charming chain from the Creative Cave

   I love charm bracelets. I have one I love but hardly ever wear. It is gold and has many, many charms on it from cities I’ve visited.

Odds and Ends from the Creative Cave

   During a recent shopping trip I stumbled across pendants, ON SALE! I wasn’t looking for pendants. I didn’t have pendants on my shopping list.

When bad things happen to good jewelry

   Some days in my “Creative Cave” (AKA the garage) are better and more productive than others. Sometimes I pick up a bead or length of wire and begin threading or wrapping to see what happens.
