Don't forget the show is Saturday and Mothers day is Sunday. I got another batch ready to put the ear wires on, copper and gold. Come on down to the Rocky Knob on Saturday. I'll be taking the "for sale" page down until after the show. And then we're going fishing, time to get out of here for a while. Awesome colors, come check them out.

Finished five more pairs of 14 carat gold earrings and one pair of copper earrings and a copper bracelet. The copper have a barbed wire design. They turned out very nice. Worked on the display case some more. I'm done with that until the fabric to cover it arrives. I think I'm done with the jewelry for awhile, I'm out of wire. More is on the way. I have a little copper left, maybe I'll play with that. Six more earring and necklace sets bagged and ready to go. I haven't evn photographed them or put them on the site for sale. I'll wait until after the show. I'm starting to pull together some stuff for displaying everything. This will be a nice little test. If this goes well, I think I'll try to get into some bigger shows. Working on a new design for a bracelet. Hopefully I'll get some good feed back out of this if nothing else. I just signed up for the Bitterroot Craft Show at the Rocky Knob, Saturday, May 11. That's the day before Mother's Day so come on out and lend some moral support. This is my first show and I'm not sure I'm ready. Two weeks to kick it in gear and get as many done as possible. I may not need more, might not sell any, but this will be a good first test show for me. Between making more jewelry, paintings and literature I have to get something together for a display. I ordered some stuff yesterday and some more today. I even have some better chains coming for the necklaces but they may not be here in time. It's a race! Steam punk watercolor jewelry I tried something a little different for a couple pieces, hammered aluminum and hammered copper. Very steam punkish. I also added a few more copper pieces. The lilac bracelet, earrings and pendant turned out stunning. I may have to keep those for myself. The paper is from a "failed" painting I recycled into the jewelry. I really like the look of this one. I now have chain to make necklaces for the pendants. I'll be adding them to the for sale section as I have time. Tomorrow back to painting. Wow did I get a lot done today. Frames varnished, herons on silk heat set, the resist washed out, dried and pressed and ready to be mounted in the frames. Several armatures made and the paper attached. Tried a couple of new things with the armatures. And even got a couple of coats of varnish on some finished paintings from earlier this week. To busy to even take pictures today. I have to go to town tomorrow but I'll try to get some pictures and get the watercolor jewelry done in the afternoon.
Tried a new recipe for coconut shrimp last night, easy and yummy. I think the double dipping was the secret, nice and crunchy. Those were the last three and I ate them for lunch today. Pork carnitas for dinner tonight. I finally got back to the gold wire to make some armatures. Five feet of gold wire doesn't go very far. I am glad to have something to work on while waiting for some more picture quilts commissions. Build up my stock pile. I updated my Facebook cover to this picture, what do you think? Sterling silver, copper, watercolor paper and watercolor paint. All are available on my "Jewelry for Sale" page. Check it out. I'm trying to get a Pinterest button on here, in the mean time pin me if you like it.
