Hello Blog Friends,
One thing about us crafter's I've noticed? We do evolve and grow into other crafty avenues. I think it's because we are so drawn to everything crafty. Even if one particular craft isn't our first love. My original first love, of course being scrapbooking. From that I caught the bug for making all the individual embellies for the pages. After that, came using them for cardmaking.
It's not that we can't decide. It's that we want to do it all.
And why not? After all one of the driving forces that keep us all in our craft rooms is creativity and exploring, trying new things and practicing them, right? So, in essence we are always adding new things, not replacing our old crafting loves.
But...now finally... on to what 'you probably didn't know'. I don't really wear much jewelry at all! Never been much for "bling" for myself. Other than my wedding ring, which I never take off, even for doing dishes. I only wear one of the pieces from time to time that my husband has given me over the years. I actually never wear anything like I hope to make. It's not that I don't like jewelry of course. I think it's because I don't really like to shop for clothes, so the idea of buying shoes to match my outfit is daunting enough, but if I had to keep pieces of jewelry that match all that as well, I think I would shop even less for the clothes I actually need and for any occasion!
So why did I dive into the big overflowing pool of jewelry makers, you ask? I just adore seeing other people all dressed up in it. Trying to figure out their personalities through the jewelry they chose for a particular occasion or outfit.
No what drew me in was that I simply love different things people are wearing now. No rules! And sometimes, adorable surprises! But know what I love the most? The way every piece is so uniquely made. Unlike dresses and shoes, I don't think I've ever seen someone wear a piece of jewelry exactly like any other I've seen. Something is always different about it.
So, that's what I've been working on lately. My new craft child has become jewelry making.
Right now I'm dabbling in these lovely glass pendants. I'll admit they are pretty easy to make and give me that instant gratification we all love. And although these are similar to each other in form, as you can see, they too are each unique in some way.
Stay tuned for more surprising, fun and beautiful images under glass coming soon.
Also available soon will be images and photos set in beautiful Antique Copper, Antique Brass, and Bright Silver.
These and all of my paper pieced crafts are available www.grammiekims.etsy.com
And to make room for all this lovely jewelry and other fun things for the up coming fall and holiday time, look for my very first BIG SALE in my shop, coming next week.
Until next time, keep exploring what you love to craft, no matter what form it takes ;)
-Blessings to all,
