Another fun workshop for one of the local Brandeis Womens groups....wire wrapping is becoming a real hit....and I'll be doing the last in a class circuit for this lovely group next week.
I have to thank Pam (next to me in red) for being my official helper in all my classes. Couldn't do it without her.
and, to Marcy (next to Pam) for inviting me in the first place!
I was very excited to carry my tools in the new hand made case that I bought at Bead Fest last weekend.
remember now...these ladies are NOT crafters or jewelry makers (except Pam) ...in fact some of them have NEVER held a jewelry tool before...so..these pieces are quite an accomplishment.
I supplied the beads and stones and they got to pick one main focal bead and some additional smaller beads & such to dangle from it. I also supplied the fancy rope to hang it from.
Now seriously....their wraps were just terrific !
Girls just wanna have fun !! Now..Now..let's not argue ladies..
I brought enough for a whole Bar Mitzvah!!
speaking of FUN...
My obsession with Susan Lenart Kazmers Industrial Chic line continues...check out this piece that I made. Yes..it's heavy!
her line is sold exclusively at Michaels.
don't forget that the BLOG HOP
is still going on...if you havent made a practice of looking at it daily..here's a good reminder

Took a quickie trip over to Anthropologie today..
when I got home I told The Lenster we must be on the lookout for a suitable kind of chair.... re-paint it then make it look REALLY worn so we can make one of these...I really loved it. The concept of using the hanger is brilliant !!
...whadd'ya think of these fringe tassels? There has to be an easy way to recreate this! These were leather. The bag was over $250...I vote...MAKE ONE !!

The last necklace I put up on ETSY sold instantly and is on its way to Australia..so..just finished this one the other day and wore it right away to see how it looked on a real person !! I'm wearing it in the first picture.
It's for SALE...and very inexpensive...
go check it out !!

It looks like you have found a group of ladies who didn't know they were talented. The jewelry was really good. Maybe you've planted some seeds.
