Me and my makings

[endeisjewelrydesign]

❤️ 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 ❤️ When I first made this Dagger, a couple years ago, it marked a shift in the way I saw my passion for jewelry. I broke free and created whatever my heart desired, instead of what I thought people wanted to see in an already saturated market. My focus became the story that each piece would carry and my hope was to spark that same feeling within the wearer. As my love grew for my art, I also had to dig deep and face the delicate nature of each theme I chose to work with. A beautiful yet sometimes painful process for fear of rejection. And isn't that what all forms of love are? A double edged sword, strong, empowering and ready for whatever life will face you with. But she is also sharp and needs to be handled with care. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐧. 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐞𝐫 She’s up for grabs in the store!

A Good Start: Metalsmith Society’s Guide to Jewelry Making

Because I have been sewing for so long, and because I don’t teach sewing, but history, it is hard for me to gauge the best sewing books for beginners. But I am a beginner at metalsmithing and taken a few classes recently, and I can recommend this book with enthusiasm. 

Corkie Bolton organizes this book with the basics about tools and materials, then goes over the fundamentals of working with metal from soldering all the way to stonesetting. She writes clearly and conversationally. She points out where you need to be careful and how to solve problems if something goes wrong. “Tips from Our Community” show up regularly on the pages, allowing you to learn from other members of the Metalsmith’s Society which Bolton founded precisely in order to share the wisdom of makers. The technical images are also crystal clear as you can see.  Then the last section offers projects that a beginner can do, starting with stud earrings, and hoop earrings, working up to the pendant you see here.  Each begins with a list of the tools and materials that you will need.

 Of course, you should look for classes to help you along the way as many maker spaces have opened up recently. For this book, you can find a soft cover or an e-book here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-metalsmith-societys-guide-to-jewelry-making-corkie-bolton/1141056193?ean=9781645675860

Love the profile of this sapphire & silver ring! I can’t decide on patina and texture, yet, so I will put it off to the side for a little bit. 💎💍 . . . . . . . . . . . #statementring #sapphire #progress #workinprogess #goldsmith #coloradometalsmiths #silver #contemporaryart #artjewelry #silversmith #contemporarycraft #metalsmithsociety #denverjewelry #creative #instaart #howistuller #denver #riojeweler #shopsmall #madeindenver #coloradoart #denverart #lookoftheday #denvercolorado #handmade #adornedinsilver (at Denver, Colorado)

🩸𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 🌙 Did you know that Lunar eclipses only happen during a full Moon? There are about 2 eclipses every year, and 1 out of 3 are total lunar eclipses with the potential for a blood moon. Isn’t that fascinating?! Despite its eerie associations, and I read quite a few of those, the blood moon doesn't have to bring chaos. Like all eclipses in astrology, think it as a time of change! This necklace is inspired by this phenomenon and shows the different phases of the Moon. It is adorned with three brilliant garnet drops which represent the blood of the Moon!
