New inspiration in creating handmade indie art jewelry, by Jomama
Today is the first day of summer and I know I should be thinking about fun in the sun, but all I can think about is jewelry...
I just got back from my second year at the Bead +Button show in Milwaukee and boy am I pumped! I'm amazed at all of the great education available here every year and that more young artists don't take advantage.
I started on Tuesday morning with a class on tool making with Joe Silvera and it’s already come in handy at home. I've ground down and repolished some old marked and rusted hammers.
The next day was spent with Mary Hettmansperger <3. Boy is she fun! We wove to our hearts content looping wire around wooden beads and found objects. Techniques I will definitely continue to use to capture my wonderful found objects.
After dinner I headed over to meet Alison Lee from CraftCast for a night of Patina playtime. Good stuff here, and since I'm a huge fan of patinas, it was an evening well spent.
Morning followed and I awoke to the excitement of the day I was about to spend Making an impression with Richard Salley. Wow, who knew molten solder could be so cool? Well it was, and will continue to be for me.
Amongst all of the fun, I got to see some old friends; Susan Lenart Kazmer and Kim St Jean and also made a few new ones too; Jen Cushman from Ice Resin and Patti Bullard, owner of Wubbers.
Peace, Jomama

Aw, this was an extremely good post. Spending some time and actual effort
to produce a very good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and never manage to get anything done.

Rose gold is not only beautiful, but durable. It makes a statement that sets a couple apart from other newlyweds. This unusual, beautiful shade is a nod to the riches and symbolism of the olden days.
