More snow!

I'm definitely not a winter weather fan, but I am grateful for a "snow day" today, which means I will get to stay home!  I have joined the Year of Jewelry 2011 activity, and can really use the time to work on this week's item.  Jewelry designers create one piece each week based on a given theme, and submit their work to a group blog  http://www.bleilysgems.com/YearofJewelry2011.  Check out the amazing work done by the YOJ artists!  This week's theme is "Down and Dirty..." and I am still trying to figure out how it might translate into something...

Here is my submission for Week 2 -- Eclipse:

Happy New and Exciting Year!

My holiday break (from my "real" job) just ended.  It was wonderful to be able to sleep in and make plans for each day based on what I really wanted to do.  What I wanted to do a lot was make new jewelry -- so I did!

Thanks to Eni Oken and Friends fabulous website (http://www.jewelrylessons.com/), I downloaded a few tutorials for inspiration. Check out new earrings at http://www.brightideasjewelry.com/:  Every Which Way, Simple Spiral, What's the Question?  I still have a few more new things to get posted on the website, so stay tuned.

May you have a fantastic, fullfilling, and bejeweled 2011!
