Welcome

Welcome to my new blog!!!  I am so excited to invite you into my new blog home created for me by Karen Valentine....blog designer extraordinaire.  What a joy it was to work with Karen.  After our initial talk, she just took off and I loved the first designs she created.  If any of you are thinking of starting your own blog or would like a facelift like I did and looking for some expert help.....Karen is your gal.  I also purchased her "Building Beautiful Blogs" book and look forward to learning more about the capabilities of Blogger.  What do you think???  Do you like my new look?

Also, wanted to share with you what I have been up to the last few weeks.  I am always wanting to learn more wire-wrapping techniques and picked up this publication by Denise Peck, "Wire Style 2".  It is full of fabulous photos, projects and step-by-step designs by Lorelei Eurto, Cindy Wimmer, Kerry Bogert, Denise Peck, Jane Dickerson, Donna Spadafore, Jodi Bombardier, Lisa Niven Kelly, and Connie Fox.  I picked up my copy at Michael's.

Art Unraveled is just around the corner and I have started to gather supplies for my students' kits.  These little orphans just flew in from Germany today.  I will have to sand down the shoulder plates with my glass grinder to get them ready for my Briar Rose class.  The other tiny Charlottes will be incorporated into jewelry and other projects.

Orders have been filled for the various boutiques that carry my jewelry.  This sweet little piece is available at Charlotte's in Salt Lake City along with several other creations of mine.

Riki Schumacher and I have also been putting our thinking caps on developing our fall class which will be offered in Riki's home here on the Central Coast of California....most likely the end of October.  Details will be up within the next few weeks.  Can you guess what the class will be by the teaser photo below?  Keep checking back for the full scoop.

Thank you for dropping by for a chat....I so appreciate you all.  Leave a comment and let me know what you think about my new blog.  Remember, Karen Valentine might just be the perfect person to help you with your blog.  For those of you who have wanted to start a blog and just haven't been brave enough to take the first steps....Karen makes it painless and has the resources available to educate you on all the in's and out's.
