Week 26

Week 26. Halfway. In the past 6 months, I have made over 100 headbands, about a dozen hairflowers, half a dozen copper feather pieces, 2-3 dozen handpainted glasses, and an assortment of silver and copper jewelry including pendants, chains, hair pins, and ear jewelry.

 In honor of this halfway point, I'd like to share that I got into a craft fair. October 23rd and 24th at Hunter's Valley Winery, I'll be setting up a little stand with wine glasses and jewelry. Not sure if I'll bring my headbands or not- i feel like my hodge podgey way of making whatever i feel like doesn't necessarily mesh real well for an art show, but we'll see.

This week, I made a set of glasses in the tree bark series. They're hard to take pictures of because there's SO much black, but in person they have a really cool optical illusion effect from the lines going every which way around the glass. These were commissioned, but I'm sure I'll make more. I want to take at least 10 sets of glasses to the craft fair plus a mix of single glasses.

I also decided to finally play with ear cuffs this week. I finally have silver wire in an appropriate gauge, and they came out pretty cute. I apologize that my ears aren't more photogenic :)

Bob wants me to make a bracelet we saw at Artsfest so stay tuned for that.
