jewelry...
- Apr. 30th, 2016 at 8:13 AM
Wire wrapped jewelry was a passion of mine for a long time. I loved the meditative feel of coiling the wire, the sparkling stones, and could sit for hours working on a piece. There was a great sense of satisfaction when a piece turned out well and I sold a lot of my work too. Yet, I haven't made anything wonderful in ever so long. I miss it, but I can't seem to get back into it. Maybe some day, maybe not, just something else that has slipped away with the passage of time. Another loss.

Aw thanks :)
I used to do beaded jewelry and never got beyond novice stuff. Once my husband died I lost interest in almost everything, including crafting. On Friday I had to replace a poorly constructed pearl wrist band on my son's prom date's corsage. Over the years I spent far too much on supplies that I never got around to using, but I am so glad that I kept that stuff. It was fun and I'd sort of like to pick it up again. I probably won't though since I spend so much of my free time on-line (Facebook).
