Who doesn't love a bargain....
So, we are now headed into the last month of the summer. School clothes are a must and school supplies are being sold in stores. Since my last post I have been working a new job, so my creativity has been on the back burner. However, I always get struck by the ol' "Christmas in July" thought. This seems to begin my thoughts of the holidays and seeking out ideas of what I can make and give over the holiday season.
I have spent a lot of time on Pinterest today, and I need that to get inspired. There are so many talented and clever minds at work out there, many of whom may not realize it. But I am gearing up. Needing to devote some time each week to my creative therapy.
I did have an unexpected surprise in being commissioned to provide wedding jewelry for a co-worker. I also designed her bridal set. This was fun, as I had not dabbled in my jewelry for a long time. It has inspired me to update my https://www.etsy.com/shop/Cottageon37th page and provide some fresh ideas.
The bridal set is above and turned out very nice. Large AB acrylic beads with fire polish crystals and crystal rondels. Also the bracelet/earring sets for the maid of honor as shown here, and 5 other sets that were a bit more modest for bridesmaids. These were made with acrylic beads, pink coral, Turquoise chips, as well as glass beads. Turned out perfect!
