Getting Back in the groove! We finally had some sunshine today & the snow is gone (for now) & I am craving Color! I pulled out a bunch of colorful stones & crystals and went to work! Today was an aqua aura quartz, citirine, peridot, lithium quartz, rutile quartz, and plume agate kind of day. VIBRANT STONES!I am perhaps the messiest wire jewelry artist out there! I love to go through my stock trays & pull out a bunch of stones that catch my eye & start working on them. I have a collection of stones already on the bench I want to take on or am contemplating a design for....every few days I am forced to clear off my bench so I have room to work. I love surrounding myself with stones and just going to town.
I wish the hands could move as fast the brain though! The wire wrapped rings I wrote about in my previous blog entry really beat my hands up! They are TOUGH! I am a seasoned wire wrapper that can give any man a run for his money when it comes to hand strength and those rings really killed me. I couldn't imagine trying them if you have weak or small hands! Whew!
