<br />
My great aunt Julia and uncle Francis sold Native American jewelry so that was my first introduction into jewelry and began my love for it( and influences my style now) but it was a trip to New Mexico when I was about 13 that really started me in physically making jewelry. I walked into a gallery called<a href="http://mariposa-gallery.com/"> Mariposa</a> and that was it, I was hooked. My mom and I bought this wooden brooch that was made up of many layered craft wood pieces then painted brightly and with tiny patterns on each layer( I'll try to locate it and post a pic later). I went home and played with wood and paint for quite awhile then I discovered Sculpey a few years later after going into Metalwerks gallery in Memphis where I would eventually sell my own pieces and work. These little sculpey sandwich earrings were probably my first purchase before launching into years of polymer clay jewelry making.<br />

<span style="color: red;"> "Art That inspires us outside of jewelry"</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">Awhile back I looked up at my</span> </span><span style="color: black;">inspiration board and realized that I am really inspired by artists working with paper, I was a bit shocked at how many items I adored were paper. My second love appeared to be plushies and toys. Its hard to hold myself back from purchasing doll after doll or tiny little artist designed munnies. Here are just a few pics of some of my favs, including some illustrations that just get my mind ticking.</span><br />
<br />
Just pulling these pics has me excited to get home and grab some paperclay and play!<br />

Two of the pics I grabbed today I believe were from 2011 and the bead idea was from this past week.<br />

<br />
I'm super excited to be signed up for 2 engraving classes this year at GRS Training in Emporia, Kansas. If you have an interest in engraving or stone setting I highly recommend attending classes there. I really look forward to spending a week with other metalsmiths/jewelers. This year I will be taking deep Relief and Western style engraving.<br />
<br />
I bought my first little pieces of gold last year so I'm anxious to make a few higher end pieces this year(and work on that stone setting!)<br />
<br />
Personally I need to get a hold of my weight! Gained ten pounds last year so I have got to watch my sweets and walk more. So far I've signed up for a yoga class as I also need to work on getting the blood pressure down!<br />
<br />
It should be a fun year, I've already made two pieces that I am really pleased with.<br />

<br />
Back in January I visited Prague, Czech Republic and it really influenced my colors usage. Normally my work is full of bright primary colors but I did a 360 turnaround this year and mostly worked with brass, silver and bronze. I became a bit obsessed with gold and gemstones as well and have finally bought my first piece of 14KY. As far as the stones I was able to take a week long intensive course on stone setting during May. I've yet to incorporate this skill but have been sketching and designing with this in mind(as well as purchasing stones in preparation).<br />
<br />
I look forward to carrying over this inspiration into 2016. <br />
<br />

I always find it so interesting to see where other artists work, don't you? Here's a glimpse into mine and Bryan's workspace. We've been doing some re-arranging and everything is not quite in place yet. We recently bought a second workbench just for stonesetting and engraving.<br />

This month we are talking about Halloween which is my favorite holiday of the year. What's not to love about this holiday, you get to dress up as anyone you want to be, there's candy, the weather is getting cooler and the trees turn gorgeous colors!<br />
<br />
Its always an extra special time of year for Bryan and I since it's also around our anniversary. We got married as close to Halloween as we could then went down to New Orleans for our honeymoon. I'm so excited this year because we are going to New York to check out the Village Halloween parade( check back here for fun photos later this month).<br />
<br />
I do love to decorate my mantle with loads of spooky goodness and a big pot of chili and cinnamon rolls on Halloween night is just perfect!<br />

I have several and they tend to take over the house! But mostly I thought I'd share my new love of bread making. My husband and I spent the holidays in Germany, Poland and Czech this past winter and I just fell in love with all the fresh breads we were eating over there that I decided when we returned home I was going to start baking all our bread from scratch. Nothing like a polish sausage on a fresh baguette! So now my new Sunday routine is baking bread for the weeks lunches. So far I've done white sandwich bread and yesterday was my first attempt at baguettes.<br />

While in college I worked at a wonderful little gallery in Memphis called Metalwerks. It was downtown right across from the Peabody hotel. I had so much fun during my days there and definitely added to my collection in huge way. These are my fav's from the gallery. They are made from sculpey clay and painted by Andrea Szekelyhidi in 1988.</div>

A vintage necklace that my grandpa gave me and an awesome vintage biker ring that Bryan and I picked up on our last trip to New York City. We had sought out a coffee shop that a friend recommended and this shop Vintage Stock was across the street so we wandered over for a look. Well, we were in there for I think 3 hours talking with the owner! This ring wasn't even out yet, it was still in her apartment that was across the street. She ran over and got it to show us.

And an awesome beaded Thor by my friend and co-worker Cindy Ross. She beads the cutest character brooches. I definitely love fun jewelry that makes me smile and am drawn to images and symbols. Hope you enjoyed this brief snippet of my jewelry box. You can check out a few of my fellow EtsyMetal teammates boxes as well on this blog carnival.</div>

Picked up some inspiration over the weekend at <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/noirartoddities/">Noir arts and Oddities</a> here in Kansas City. I'm going to have this print framed for my studio when its all cleaned and organized again. I did get down there to work on the cleaning this weekend and its coming along slowly but every little bit is making me feel better.<br />

I've been wanting to work with some old tintypes for awhile now and decided to get going on that this week as well. When I was sketching I was thinking about stringing black crystals for the necklace but now I'm leaning towards pyrite beads to bring out the tiny bit of gold fill that Iwill put on the frame.</div>

I am seriously having trouble wanting to be in my studio lately, the mess has just overwhelmed me. Went down yesterday to start cleaning and just seeing the little bit of tabletop in the last photo in front of the buffing machine is making me feel better already! Figured I'd post this cause if I show you my mess I need to show you the clean-up/after photos right!!!? Thats the plan anyway. :)</div>

As I'm looking through my vacation photos I am really loving the colors that I saw repeatedly in the Czech Republic. Ive never been a fan of neutral colors but I guess just seeing the numerous variations have intrigued me. Im hoping to play around with these colors in my enamel work this year.</div>

Back from a month long european adventure. Bryan and I traveled to Germany, Poland and Czech Republic. They were all beautiful countries and I will be excited to see how the trip comes through in our jewelry this year.<br />
<br />
Working on some single earrings that can be purchased individually to create a unique asymmetrical set. These are the first two I've done. There is a group doing Earring-A-Day for 2015 but don't know that I will stick to the complete 365 challenge this year. You can search on Etsy each day to see what everyone is posting and match up singles from multiple artists! Search using EAD 2015. Once I have about 7 earrings completed I will post them in my etsy shop.andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08671457976686299521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6749602310591631325.post-1301695599981384272014-10-14T16:24:00.002-05:002014-10-14T16:24:49.629-05:00cat skull<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's this year's squash blossom completed, we made 70 beads for this one! It has a really nice weight to it, I've enjoyed wearing it.

Im not often compelled to make rings but the feeling struck me this week to make a large flower one. Feeling pretty excited to finish this piece this week. I've also been feeling the mood to get back into painting and started off with a little collage of my sweet Sugar kitty.</div>

Working on some earring ideas for the Plaza art fair this fall. I was looking at my calendar yesterday and realized that I only have like 14 more weeks to prepare for this!! My inventory is pretty much nil right now other than a few brooches from last years Brooch A Day challenge.<br />
<br />
I've still been working on trying to clean my studio and get old supplies packed and donated that I'm realizing I am just not going to touch. Managed to clear off a bit more space from my bench top last night which makes me feel sooo much better.<br />
<br />
Bryan and I have been putting together an engraving area in the studio this week as well. I'm anxious to add this new element into my pieces(and get Bryan more involved with the jewelry!) He really took to the engraving well when we were at GRS 2 weeks ago for a week long intensive class on engraving.<br />
<br />
Are you learning any new techniques or taking fun classes/workshops this summer? I'd love to hear about them!andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08671457976686299521noreply@blogger.com0
