Teaching

One of my favorite things to do is teach the skil of jewelry-making. 

What happens is I get to watch new pathways develop in the brains of my students, and I get to see their eyes develop from "I like that" to "I can DO that."  It's tremendously rewarding and an incredible amount of fun.

I get to teach this afternoon.  The students I have are every bit as good as I am, they just have not figured it out yet.  Once they do, they'll be on their own, and be fellow artists, not students. 

THAT is the most fun I have in jewelry.

The Beginning...

A long time back, I began making stretchy bracelets.  They would match outfits, and I thought they were cute. 

Now I make other jewelry as well, and I'll be posting about it here. 

There will be pictures, a tutorial or two, and maybe some inspiration as well.
