September DDM Show

I am getting ready for one of my last shows of the season. Due to un-forseen circumstances this year, I have not been participating in many shows. So I am really looking forward to the Designers Downtown Market on Saturday.

I will be previewing a new line of necklaces at this show. My Italian Glass Tile Necklaces. Here is a picture of one I recently sold on my Etsy site!


Of course I will also have plenty of Wire Wrapped Designer Cabochon Necklaces, Morning Dew Pendants, Reclaimed Stained Glass Jewelry, Everyday Sterling Silver Earrings, and Reversi Hoops. So if you are in the Raleigh Area, be sure to stop by and see me from 9-3.

Check out the other great artists that will be there too! Designers Downtown Market

Learning

A few weeks ago I signed up, at my local craft store, to take some classes. They were teaching a couple of classes on soldering.

I have tried this technique many times before with little success. So I decided that maybe it was time to have someone show me the techniques instead of trying to learn them from a book or video. Sometimes it just works out better that way.

So anyway last Sunday the 29th was my first soldering class. We learned how to solder posts onto metal to make post earrings. Here are some photos of the earrings I made.
