The sign ups have begun, and the excitement is gathering like steady gusts of wind. The 2017 Build A Line Class with Brenda Sue Lansdowne of B'sue Boutiques has begun. The class starts in January and Once again I have been invited to be a moderator. As in life you are always learning something new, so it is in the Jewelry designing business. I love to moderate because Although I design, create and sell jewelry, being part of a group brings new insights and questions. Do you have a style that you like? Do you even know, if you even have a style? Did you know you have favorite colors to design with? and Why? Are these colors that you wear, or see outside your window or do they remind you of someone? Favorite Aunt, Grannie, sister, or pet. Maybe your favorite place in the world. Maybe just because. I asked myself these questions when I took the class.
Guess what, I like pink. Just because I'm a girl I guess. I love blue. As a child I loved to stretch out look at the blue sky and dream of foreign places. I love Purple and Green. Green seems to enrich my milk chocolate skin tone and goes nicely with pink and purple. I love the green Tree's and Shrubs in spring as the bend and sway with spring breeze. Just some thoughts I had and realized when taking the class myself in 2015.
I love brass and love to incorporate it into my designs. I started out purchasing any and all brass I could get my hands on. What the class taught me was every piece is not for me. I wasted good money on items I can't use, will never use, may not even ever learn how to use. I learned how to stock my favorites in case my vendor runs dry, lol. I learned I loved filigree all those fancy swirls. I love flowers. What are some of my favs you ask;
I love the Lacy heart
My wings all lacy
When adding color choose raw brass
I just saw this, Miss Gloria. Those are some of my favorite pieces, too. And I am SO GLAD you are joining us again, working behind the scenes to make BALC a success for 2017. And thank you for telling your friends about it. We still have spots for the class open!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gloria! You reminded me of many things in my journey with the BALC last year.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your continued support,Huggs as well. Lets see what this new year brings!!
DeleteMy mother makes her own jewelry, and she always tries to find hearts and metals to easily shape into hearts. I, myself, prefer items like the lacy wings you have shown above. Really, any metal that is lacy in design is my favorite. I feel as though it is just more intricate and appealing to look at and create with.
ReplyDeleteKindered spirits u and I, Thank you so much for visiting.
DeleteAmazing what you learn about yourself as you immerse yourself in new things. I love the pieces of jewelry you featured here. My favorite has to be the fancy wings, swirls, and flowers. I bet they give a real stunning look. I might have to find a pair of these for myself!
