WOYWW: Natural Bling

One. Two. Three. Four.

Five.  Six.  Seven.  Eight.  Nine.

Lately, I have been obsessed with making dangly beaded earrings.  My style leans towards natural stones, and I patina the silver to give them an antiqued look.  There is something mesmerizing about wrapping the wire and creating little ensembles of color and pattern.  I'm completely hooked.

One of the reasons I have been spending so much time at the bench is that MyGirl has been enjoying being out in the shop with me.  I taught her how to burn a mixed CD and she puts her music on and sits at her little work bench where she paints or draws or builds with sculpy.  This explains why Taylor Swift and Katy Perry (only the PG songs) are running through my head.  MyBoy is spending his summer reading reading reading.  Sometimes I forget I even have two kids, he is so content and quiet with a book in hand.

Hope everyone is feeling creative, and sunny!  Happy WOYWW.
