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.

Spring is here!

Spring has sprung here on Sunset Island and it is time to be creative. I was able to work on all the projects that I started this winter and really give them the attention they deserve. I was working on more wire wrapping and using silver as my "thread".  Weaving with metal. Wire wrapping and at times making a cloth out of the metal.  I enjoyed making all of these items.  I must admit I really did miss pounding with the hammer. So, the next round of creative work will include more pounding along with the wire weaving.  I think then we might be on the right track.  I would like to try my hand at the viking knit. It looks quite challenging.

I have been out of touch lately and I apologize. I will post photos of some new work after December 25th. I was busy with getting all my personal and some professional obligations up to date. I am ready to jump into creative mode! Cheers, anne
