I have tried just about every type of crafting/creative endeavor. I love art and creating things. What I didn’t get a chance to do in school art classes, I have tried in my adult life. One of those was making jewelry with gemstones and beads. I’d love to learn how to make jewelry with metals and soldering tools. That’s on the list.
This necklace I made probably 10 years ago. It features rough cut cheap garnets from a wholesale Thailand distributor. They weren’t overly expensive to buy that way. I did try to sell my wares, but didn’t make enough to cover my cost. I gave it up, so now I only make jewelry when the urge hits. I’ve got all the supplies I need now!
Black top – LOFT
Black Jacket – CAbi
Skirt – TJ Maxx
Shoes – Carlos Santana
Jewelry – Made by Me
Hair – Braid waves from putting it in braids before I went to bed. Then I put my fringe into a short braid up top and puffed it out a bit by pulling on it. My hair is definitely starting to lose that “just dyed” red look. It has gotten more reddish brown.
I’ve always wanted to make silver jewelry too! But I opted for the screen printing at home for now. What an undertaking that’s been.
We’re so lucky in our adult years to have the freedom to try new things and not have the pressure of a classroom over us.
You look lovely in your garden Stacy!
The skirt is beautiful. The necklace, unfortunately, is far behind.
