M' Lord, A Package Has Arrived!

Huzzah!  My chain mail supplies have finally arrived.  I wonder if this is how the knights felt when their packages arrived?  Probably not.

Anyway, it's been nearly two weeks since my class, and the rings to complete what we started in class and to design a few other pieces have arrived and are awaiting my attentions.

I started off small with my order since I also need other jewelry supplies, glass supplies and money to apply for more art fairs.  Do you know that running your own business takes a lot of money just to get to the places where you can make some?  

In the package I received my tools for opening and closing the rings and copper, brass and aluminum rings (in various sizes).  I've got a few different designs I'll be trying out in the next few weeks, and pictures will be forthcoming,  I promise!

What's New Etsy-Cat?  WO, WO, WO, WO!

Tomorrows addition to my shop on Etsy is this tree focal entitled, "Weathering The Storm".  

A large, bent and twisted tree awaits the storm that brews in the distance.  Dark gray and blue clouds blot out the clear blue sky as sheets of rain pelt the distant landscape.  This is not the first storm this wise, old tree has withstood, and it certainly will not be the last!

This is really a wonderful bead that I'm quite proud to be adding to my shop in the morning.  As usual, I'll have lots more pictures and information about this focal bead in the shop listing.

Have a great night, and btw, can you  name all 6 members of the Oceanic 6?
