A Pretty Busy Week!
Well, there is lots to share for this week. I have been pretty busy with all things Silver Lotus Studio. Big fun!
the website is actually going pretty alright. I am starting to feel my way through the whole setup thing, and it is going well. I think that it will be pretty basic with relatively few bells and or whistles, but that is not even the biggest problem. the problem is: I have no current inventory to speak of! I have a few things that are done, and a few things in the works, but the website is lookin pretty nekked as of right this minute. But no worries! that just buys me more time to figure out how to build the sumbitch while I make more shiny things to put on it.
So, here's what I got into this week:
Made thses springy little puppies whilst I was at home sick on Monday. I was really impressed with the way that they turned out, since they are on the Advanced section of Eni Oken's tutorials. *Pats self on back*
And then there is this little beauty. It is a yummy piece of zebra jasper that I picked up -where?- in Asheville on that oh so lucrative trip for the Warren Haynes Christmas Jam. Weee! Well, it is not QUITE done, because i see that there is a lot more that I could add to make it a bit snazzier, namely some more coiling around the stone. Gotta love constructive criticism. But, I am really pleased with this one namely because it was my most adventurous work to date, and I made every SINGLE component all by myself! Even the clasp! There is something very rewarding about that.
And lastly, I thought that I would start to post some works in progress. This blog is more for me than anyone else, so why not have some sort of pictorial review of how a piece progresses? It will help spur me on to make some progress on them each week too, since I will feel like a failure this time next week if there is no noticeable progress on them from week to week.
This piece holds so much promise for me. All I have done is some hammered silver S shaped links (not pictured) and the focal done, but it is going to be something else when I am finished with it. Here 'tis:
And, here's a little bracelet that I got going on today. Mostly I am just practicng more wrapping techniques here, but I just love the Moukite (never quite know how to spell that)nuggets. the colors are right up my alley: rich jewel tones. Not much to look at yet, eh?
I gotta get a photo cube and some lighting. my pics are so lowbrow it's not even funny. Well it is a little funny. But, I guess that will have to wait for another day.
Whew, what a long post. I will have to do better about that next time.

Hey Holly, I just had to say... I love the zebra jasper bangle! It is fabulous... now I finally have an idea of somethign to try with my "Star Bead" I shared on the B&B forum a while back. If that's alright with you of course. Your new "Deep Sleep" beads are in the mail! Let me know when you make something!
