I am told there are some Loungers visiting-WELCOME!!
For anyone curious, I have attached a couple photos of a couple pieces of my art work. The felted wool pieces are what I call 'treasure pots, and the necklace was made for Valentine's Day. In high school, I got a job as a jeweler's apprentice, worked for her for 10 years, then started out on my own. I really enjoy metalwork, and about 10 years ago, expanded to welding and blacksmithing. Having kids put all that on the back burner for a while, but now that they are both in school, I have gotten back into the jewelry/metal arena again, and am loving it!!
Last year in an evolution from hobby knitting, I started making felted wool stuff-bowls, vases, mittens, and other weird stuff. I love the process, and the fact that a lot of it is done with the laundry! I now embace piles of dirty clothes, and view them as an oppurtunity to create. I am hoping to combine the felted wool and metals when I get my shop all set up here.
I hope to hear from everyone in the comments section. If anyone is having trouble with this, I am not computer savvy enough to help you out. I THINK you have to have a google account(free). If you don't, the thing will ask you to sign up after clicking on the word 'comments' at the bottom of each post.
