Spring Retail Therapy

I don't know about you but I love to clean out my closets right about now.  I try on last years clothes and what doesn't fit goes into the clothing swap pile.  I have a few friends that get together and we swap clothes.  I see this downsizing as not necessarily a way to minimize but to focus on quality.  I get a chance to weed out the things that are not working with my body right now and focus on what is and on what makes me feel good.

How does this tie into making jewelery?   Good question...
I do the same thing with my work.  I cull the items that are not working. I take them apart and create new things. I have been working with wire lately and have sold a few new designs. I forgot to take photos of them but am interested in making more with the same theme.  Dangles of solid sterling or 14kt gold with a drop of pearl or green garnet or cinnabar.  I am reworking lots of my necklaces to incorporate a single drop of coral or jasper or aquamarine on leather cord.  It is simple. It works with my body as well as with my mindset.  Minimize and focus on quality.
