Unfortunately I came down with tonsillitis over the weekend, so I’ll be taking this week off to rest, but I wanted to say WELCOME to all of our new members! I’m sorry I haven’t sent welcome messages to you guys yet, but I’ll be catching up on those soon. In the mean time, if you have any questions, feel free to post on the community board or send me a message! 💗

I really want to do some designs where you guys can practice weaving—what do you think of this earring design? Hopefully I can practice and get it filmed this week. I’ve been dealing with some intense anxiety over the past week as my body still adjusts to life postpartum and post-nursing—what a roller coaster it’s been 😅 but this community has helped a lot and seeing everyone interacting has made me so happy ☺️ thank you guys for being here! 💖

Leave me your ideas and suggestions here! 😎 💡 Things you can mention: -Styles of jewelry (whimsical, flowy, sleek, boho, classic, masculine..) -Wire wrapping techniques (basics, wire weaving, encasing stones, coiling wire, creating frames) -Categories of jewelry (pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets, home decor) -Problem solving (let me know something you’re having trouble doing) Feel free to leave photos for inspiration. I encourage you to browse through my IG or site. You can leave other photos that you find online, but keep in mind that I cannot show you guys how to copy someone else’s work, but I can use it for inspiration to explain a general concept or part of their design that is not a signature element of their style 🥰

This is my first piece using square & half round wire and I loved using it.I used a sea glass stone which wasn’t the easiest for the first time due to the uneven shape but I think it’s not bad for my first attempt.😊

I’ve just added a 🌟 NEW 🌟 section in the classroom called Studio Sessions! 🥳 I’m so excited about this new section! I know a lot of you guys want to know how I create my more complex designs and I’ve always been nervous to try and film the process because a lot of the time, I don’t even know what I’m doing, maybe it’s too complex to stay focused underneath a camera or maybe it’s the middle of the night and the lighting is bad.. When I film tutorials, I try my best to plan ahead of time, knowing exact wire lengths, practicing the design and rehearsing the process and instructions in my head, but the truth is that creating art is messy, confusing and not always straight forward (and not to forget time consuming!) These videos will be exactly that—sometimes I’ll be able to show you the full process, maybe another time it’ll be a peek into what I’m thinking, or just sharing a particular part of the creative process. These videos will not contain all of the information for you to recreate the entire design, but will give you an inside look and help stimulate your own creativity. I hope you guys enjoy the messy side of my creativity!
