studio

So I thought I should take acouple photos of my studio so people could see where I do my work. But let me prepare you for what you are going to see,So my dream would be to have this cute little studio somewhere with a group of other crafters or artsy people. But the reality is my studio is in my basement, my husband was very nice to find me a nice spot for my work area and even wired a special area for my kiln,but it is still a dark basement!

So my goal this year was too kick up the business enough to see about finding an outside studio space!!!
or redoing the current one that I have? but time will tell to see what I can do but here are a couple pics of my studio.

New Design

Just thought I would share  new pieces I made for spring.So I was inspired by a bird house that my son kyle made for me and thought how cute it would be in a pendant? well it hangs out back in a tree that is always covered with birds.so I took a picture and sat down to draw it out and see what size I could make it. I made a model in paper and glued it together and then said I think I can make this in silver?so here are a few pic of the original then the paper model then the real thing. I was very happy with the out come and am now starting to think about the next bird house design .I also have a new design for a dangle earring so fun and light weight.
thanks for looking
