Carnival Blog- April
The Blog Carnival....a group of jewelers get together via the web, once a month, to post on a topic that has to do with jewelry. It's a fun way to hear different opinions from wonderful artists. Hope you'll visit their sites and read their great blogs.
This photograph is available in NestaUSA's Etsy shop. It's a 8"x10" photo for $18. This takes me away to a beautiful day enjoying the sun and breeze!
"What is your favorite technique?"
I can never choose one. Hmmm...that totally sounds like my problem. An inability to focus. I'm working on that, but for now, I'll share a couple. I really like anything challenging and difficult. Also something I have to work on. I love box construction, hollow forms, and layers. This probably is influenced by my college days where I received a BS in Interior Design with a focus on interior architecture for commercial space. I really enjoyed technical drawing...isometrics, plans, and thinking about how it all would be constructed. Engineering something that lasts, something that is well constructed, and something visually interesting.
I also love surface and texture embellishment. I love color and enjoy a lot of enameling techniques. I also love granulation, Keum Boo, and resins.
What do you love? Post a comment....I'd love to get to know you better. Have a great weekend and make something you love!

I love engineering pieces with movement. I also love Keum-boo and fusing.
