Inspiration

Inspiration comes in many forms. Most recently I have been taking some online classes from Craftsy.com. My recent work is a direct result of things I have learned from those classes. You should check them out!
I have been working from patterns from designer Corra Liew and Abby Hook as well as watching a video class from Aga Kruk.
Cheers!

Pictures

I checked my blog via my phone and did not see my photos so here is the latest in hoops and posts!











Idle hands

We have had the pleasure to rest in Boot Key Harbor, Florida for a few days. I have been bitten by the wire working bug. Its like sewing with metal. I love it. What is difficult is finding the right tension and my fingers fatigue after about 5 hours. Each piece seems to take a little less time once I repeat it but averaging 10 hours for the big pieces and 4 hours. For the little ones. Here is a photo of a pair that I finished in gold filled and coral.
