Settling In At Arlington

5-25-2014  Good morning and Happy Memorial Weekend.  Hopefully you are enjoying the long weekend. Please take some time to honor those who have served our country in the past or present, alive or who have given the ultimate  sacrifice.  To all we say thank-you  to them and to their  families.

We have been very busy making jewelry since we arrived at our new temporary home base.  With me  having a break from working I have pitched in to help again.  I have included some pics of the earrings I made for the special ladies that I had the privilege to work with in Lubbock.  I tried to capture each ones personality in the choices of  design and I think got pretty close.  I have also included some new  designs that are in the shop.  I have been experimenting again with the natural stones and redesigning old pieces of jewelry.  I had hoped to take some silversmith courses  while on work break but unfortunately the classes are 18 weeks long and we won't be here that long. Someday I intend to find a class we can attend.  I have seen some beautiful work come out of the Arlington Gem and Mineral club.   I am back to trying some wire wrapping and finished a pendant I like.  This is an area I need to  work on, it is fun and a great creative outlet. 

I promise to try and do better on updating the blog .  For now here are the pics  I promised.
