I headed out the International Gem Show last Saturday and it was so much fun seeing how other people put their jewelry together. I bought some stones and wire for a fraction of what I'd spend in the store. I was like a kid in a candy store and i have so much stock at home i really need to work more on making things.
My loot from the show. I'm partial to the ruby red beads. My mind is throwing around ideas and I'd much rather be at home working some of them out.
And a few things i put together this weekend. I experimented with crocheting wire and i have to say i really liked how it turned out. My friend even bought my prototype yay!
Gold colored wire with some fake pearls i had for practice.
And a quick four strand i put together one night. My mom promptly took over this one since it matched the earrings i got her in AZ.
I find my self whining "do i have to work i wanna go home and craft"

wow. I really like the crocheted wire/turquoise piece. i wish I had even a tiny bit of creativity.
Thanks! I have bits and pieces of craftyness...ask me to play with beads or fabric and i can generally whip something up...But ask me to draw or sing or play some instrument i fail lol.
