The Good Old Days

I have been missing my old studio. For one, it was a wonderful project that my husband and I built with our own hands (and some family help), and two it was just adorable and well equipped. Since finding out I was pregnant I stopped soldering, enameling and polishing for fear of all the dangers it could produce for the baby. Now seven months after my daughter was born, I still find myself afraid of my old ways. I really miss my old practices, but now that I am still breastfeeding I just can not risk it. So many of you may wonder how I make my new work. Well, in our new home my husband Derrick and I each have our own art studios upstairs in our finished attic. Since moving indoors the only thing I have kept is my love of using resin. I have been assembling pieces that I made and did not finish out B.C. (before child) as well as creating new assembled pieces. While I am not smithing currently, I am still doing my passion...making jewelry.

For those that never saw my old awesome studio here it is/was.

Seventh treasury of the week to feature BSidesMetal. I love the colors and themes in this tropical oasis.

Just Pure Handmade

My cuff links were featured in this treasury today. I really enjoy the touches of yellow. I am so happy that since getting back on Etsy I have been featured in 4 treasuries and three of those were all this week. Maybe this means good things are heading my way.
