Upcoming Project - Jewelry Organizer

Today I am in one of my crafty modes which means I will be neck deep in a project later on today.

There are a few projects that I want to work on. Some of my inspiration today is coming from Pinterest. I never have enough storage space for my all of my jewelry, both my personal and the jewelry I sell. So today I came across something on Pinterest that I thought would be interesting. I will be adding my own twist though. I would like to go thrifting this weekend for some old antique picture frames. I would like to rough them up a bit and then hit them with a touch of gold spray paint to give them that antique feel. Then when I am finished, I will punch out the middle of the frame and back it in wire to hang earrings from. I would also like to find some cool push pins to put into the frame so that I can hang necklaces off.

Below is an inspiration example I found from http://pistachioicecream.wordpress.com/

Glassblowing

This weekend was my first glassblowing class and I loved it!


I took the class at Neusole Glassworks. According to their homepage, "Neusole Glassworks offers a variety of solutions to all of your glass art needs - including blown, flameworked and fused glass, or a combination of the three.  Artists, designers and glass enthusiasts all come together to share, learn and grow as individuals and as a glass community"


I was able to try out glassbowing and flamework. I made a leaf pendant and a paperweight. I will post pictures when I get them back. With glassblowing, it take a week to finalize the glass so it does not break. 






Below is an example oh how I shaped my paperweight (image from google).
