Spring is Here or Is it

Trees are starting to bud and the birds are singing. I've been seeing a few robins around this past week, but it seems too early to plant. In anticipation of Spring, I decided to make a PMC fine silver butterfly this week. It was a busy week for wire wrap jewelry classes, I will be posting some of the student's work on my web site. It's fun to see what people do. Some people are naturally good wrappers and very creative with wire. With the Beginner's PMC class on Saturday, I plan to use some of the photos of nature to inspire textures on their work.

Tactile Power of Weaving

Woven paper has such a lovely texture and tactile feeling. I've seen so many different artists weave textures using different media - paper, wire, cloth, glass, clay and so on. I'm sure there are people who have wonderful woven art to share. I'd love to see other artists share their woven art. And if you are a weaver, but have never made jewelry, I'm offering a new class on woven precious metal clay (PMC) paper earrings. I'm thinking about other media to throw into the mix.
