Day Eighteen of My Tweleve Week Creative Challenge

Today I felt like getting back to my jewelry bench, so for day 18 of my twelve week challenge I made these “Goddess Of Love” earrings.  The beads are a very dark red, capped with little crystals, and at the bottom are cast cupids.  I may still add a heart or little dove inside the crystal cage, but for now they are finished.

Please keep in mind that the items I show in the twelve week challenge posts still have to be electroplated and are in their raw form.  Also the photography is the result of quick snapshots so I promise you everything will look much more impressive in the final post.

Days Nine And Ten Of My Twelve Week Creative Challenge

Although my intention was to make something each day of my twelve week creative challenge, for these two days my creative energy went into the setup and presentation of a very successful holiday craft show. Here’s some photos of my booth…

It’s pretty much the same setup as most of the shows I do, but this time I added a little side table with some specialty items.

In doing a show like this I find the full review of my recent and past work coupled with customer input to be a great exercise and I ended the day with a good amount of inspiration.  I probably won’t have a post for day eleven due to the exhaustion I feel at the end of this amazing event.

Day Eight Of My Twelve Week Project

For day eight of my twelve week Creative Challenge I did some more work on the piece started on day seven.  I may still add more to it, I’m just very distracted by health concerns and my upcoming show this weekend, but for now I’m pleased with it.

Day Seven Of My Twelve Week Challenge

Today was a real struggle to get into my studio, I have a show coming up on Saturday so my primary focus has been on getting ready for that.  But I did start on this necklace which goes with my series called Linear Compositions.

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll finish this piece so as not to interrupt my Twelve Week Challenge. Meanwhile, if you happen to be in Providence RI this Saturday, December 10, 2016, check out the RISD Holiday Alumni Sale, my booth number is 324.

Day Six Of My Twelve Week Challange

I spent most of my studio time today tidying up a bit, a small part of a huge daunting task In doing so I came across a pair of owl head earrings that I’d begun many years ago, so as of today, they are complete.

Days Three And Four Of My Twelve Week Challenge

It was only the third day of my Twelve Week Challenge and I fell short.  I had to go to the emergency room and deal with a kidney stone so my creative side just wasn’t at it’s best.  However, the purpose of this project is for self encouragement and I will not be discouraged.

So for day four I have this brooch…

Day Two Of My twelve Week Challenge

Well I made some progress today, building this butterfly tiara.  I would have liked to have finished soldering it today, but it just doesn’t look quite right to me, sometimes it’s best to just walk away from things and view it with fresh eyes tomorrow.
