Creativity abounds

Spring is finally creeping into the Midwest. All the snow has melted and some flowers are beginning to emerge.

I cleared my workspace one evening, cleaned my tools and got creative.

The sunshine and longer days drew me into the studio several times and I’ve enjoyed shaping and embellishing the wire into my vision.

This wasn’t always successful, as an attempt at triple hearts just didn’t pan out, and a single heart became the final piece.

Since coiled wire takes some wrangling, I goofed around a bit too. Maybe tiaras will be a future line…

I matched an earcuff from the Renaissance Faire with my swirly pearls.

Bangles have been popular lately so I created a few of those.

There is something soothing about stringing beads. This one is a chakra bangle.

They’re fun to put on.

One birthstone bangle was sold, one is at Aurora Rose Boutique, and the third is for me to wear out for now.

Ayla’s Bead Bazaar inspired me to incorporate Amazonite into a bracelet and collar set. Amazonite turns out to be a lovely, healing and positive stone.

It went straight to a trunk show I will post about next week.

I’m also feeling a love of springy colors.

What’s your favorite piece?
