My goodness how time flys when you are busy! I'm playing with wire, from fire to wire. I've wanted to do wire work for ages! Danielle Beaty of TurtleBay Jewelry gave a wonderful demonstration at the cabin retreat in Michigan.

I went to my first ever bead show last weekend and met Angela Smith, an incredible artist who lives in Raleigh and we each visited the other's houses today. It was incredibly fun. She loaned me her chasing hammer (I think that is what it is called!) so I made an attempt at these S clasps. I really like making them too.
