This Weeks Post

Which I was going to post last week.
It's about sewing, free motion stitching and Lisa at http://www.mudhoundstudio.blogspot.com/.
Surprise . . . how many post were there last week about the same thing?
Is it nesting?
I'm a nester, the only reason I leave in the winter is for food.

So here's a peek at my sewing project




Not a ruffle person so the sari ribbon was the perfect choice, a little girly but not
 foo foo.




And yes I totally copied the hangers from last months Where Women Create.

Last Weeks Post



Making rivets on curved metal was tougher than I thought it would be.





These are all small Victorian Bar Pins.




Finally finished

Next

These are so tiny and they open.


Hope everyone is having a great week!

Still Celebrating

I hope everyone had a great New Year!

I would like to thank everyone for leaving such encouraging comments on my yes, no, maybe so post.
  Without them I'm not sure I would have sent the necklace off to Stampington
for the poetry challenge
.
So off she went, and here she is




Very exciting to see your work published!


I did managed to make a few pieces of jewelry over the holidays.
I'll post some pictures later this week.

In the mean time a piece of jewelry from one of the grandbabies.



Isn't she a cutie,  

Have a great week!

Victorian Biker Collection?

That may be the best description for the jewelry I've been working on.

This cross was inspired by a victorian necklace.  It's made from steel.

Victorian steel cut


More victorian steel
future bracelets


the softer side of steel

seems to be a steel theme
i believe i mentioned obsessed in a previous post


And yes, I do ride and have the required leather jacket and chaps
but . . . . . .


these are my biker boots.
