My first online class

I cannot give Stephanie enough kudos for her Homesteader's Metalsmith e-class. I learned so much and had a thoroughly enjoyable time broadening my horizons. If your interested she's opening up registration in just couple days for the November class.

Here is a sampling of the pieces I made over the 4 weeks.
Below are some of the bezels I filled with resin, eventually I'll get around to drilling holes for jump rings. One is a memento with the 'homestead' definition encased, that one will be kept around the studio as a reminder that if I can get comfortable using a micro torch then what else can I attempt.
It will be a feverish week at the job, summer cards come down halloween and thanksgiving go up...probably will take a full 40 hours, this part-time girl is tired just thinking about it. I don't anticipate I'll get much time to create so it may be quiet here.

  2. Awesome pieces of jewelry. A micro torch huh, I'm impressed. I love the patina also, how did you acheive that. I actually have been at some jewelry creating myself. Hope and I have been making some pieces to raise money for the Susan G. Komen foundation. Please don't work toooo hard.

  4. Angie,
    Your pieces are amazing! I'm still working on some of the sessions--so far behind. I ordered the DVD.

    This is a great course that will get your creative juices flowing. Stephanie does an outstanding job at creating an inviting space to be inspired. I recommend it to beginners and the experienced.
