  Many of my friends and customers know that I am equally as passionate about my chainmaille jewelry as I am about the world of fibre arts.  Well, during the last couple of months, I’ve been just glued to my loom, my needles and my spinning wheel creating many lovely fibery pieces of art.  Well, boom, the jewelry muse has struck again and I’m back – not that I ever stopped creating and designing chainmaille, I just didn’t do it as excessively as I often do.  I created my “standard” pieces for my customers but I didn’t make quite as many new pieces – I guess you could call it keeping the status quo.

  As spring sprung, I’ve done a few things that brought me back around to gathering lots of ideas and inspiration.  I taught at the Fraser Valley Bead show and that was a fun first experience.   I hope to teach there again, maybe in the fall and am already thinking of the possibilities.

  I’m in the middle of planning out all my Christmas shows and I think I’m about “this” close to being fully booked.

  Last weekend I went on a bit of an earrings spree with a stainless steel box chain bracelet thrown in.  I’d forgotten how slinky and cool box chain looks like – take a peek:

  

  New Earrings and a Bracelet

  Well, and I have lots of work to do on this site, too.   These are all listed in my Etsy and my Artfire shops.

  I have had this bracelet design in my head the entire Christmas break.  I bought the beads on December 23rd and knew almost exactly what I wanted to do with them.  I didn’t realize the design until tonight because I must admit that I didn’t do much jewelry work over the holidays.  I mostly worked on my fibery pursuits as well as spending time with the kids and my husband.  I did some weaving, some spinning and a fair bit of knitting.

  This particular design uses a very simple chain structure but the sterling silver leaf clasp and the gorgeous lampwork teardrop beads add the pizazz.   This bracelet will make its way into my Etsy shop in the morning some time (Jan. 4) but I have made a mental note that I MUST make myself one as well.  For myself, I might go for black or purple beads as that will fit with my wardrobe more.  Take a peek!!!  Let me know what you think of it.
