Rainy Mondays ....



Ah ... rainy days are meant for curling up and being creative! (I think I am sounding a little bit like my friend C) I found these beads at a show from Lisa Beaman of Charlotte, NC. Her work is really wonderful and I love the fall colors. Browns, blues, red, yellow and greens. Just perfect for this one day in August that we will be at 70 degrees.
I have added it to the website http://sissyandjacks.etsy.com so take a look.

Learning New Things ...




I love to learn new jewelry techniques and I am especially loving my new found metalsmithing skills. Check out the Copper Cuff that I made on Sunday (love the little dangle and my S&J stamp). Still working on the brass earrings using the same technique, so look for those soon .... Cheers!!
