My commission

I finally finished a commission that was really fun, turning two photos into fabric art. It was by far more complex than any of the other fabric art I had done before, but I was really happy with the outcome, and so was the client :)

more silver

This is a bracelet that has been in the works for a few weeks. I just finished it up tonight. It was pretty ambitious and there were a few set backs, but I'm pretty happy with it :)

How to choose?!

So I have this trunk of fabric from my grandmother, she cut hundreds of strips of fabric for rug-hooking, in tons of fabulous colours.. trouble is, it's at my sisters house :( So last week I had an idea for a bracelet, but I needed the fabric.. so Vicki sent me a package :) Look at all the fun colours!!

So I tried a few combinations, but of course ended up with neutrals :P I think I need my cousins help with picking the colours.. but I think it ended up pretty cool.. I think I'll try one quite a bit wider...

Silversmithing!

I actually just found out that although I'm taking a silversmithing class, it should really be called goldsmithing.. but since I'm using silver I'm going to keep calling it that :P

I love it, it is so much fun and I have a million ideas that I've been storing up for years.. so keep posted and I'll take some pics. Right now I can show you my first rings..

The Landowner!

I haven't been on in a bit... been very busy, but I am very excited to say I have a full page article in the Landowner magazine . An excellent magazine that focuses on Rural Politics, business and families. You should definitely check it out, there are some eye opening articles and you will be amazed at the things that go on that does not make the news!

Brochure

So I've finally got it together and printed my brochure. Hopefully I can get my work in some new stores!

Pretty bird

I've seen a few different types of birds around lately, on etsy and whatnot. I thought I would try to make on of my own with some scrap material. This is my first attempt, so it's a little rough around the edges, but I think overall pretty cute!
