Pine Ridge Ceramic Blog Hop

Today is the reveal for the Pine Ridge Ceramic Blog hop, sponsored by Lisa Lodge.  When I saw this picture with all the bight spring colors, I was thrilled to welcome spring at last. You all know how I love my color.So I just had to be part of this hop. Since everything is randomly picked I had no cause to worry the picture was full of color.  However, when I received my kit it was brown. Don't get me wrong gorgeous brown Jasper, a Pretty Ceramic with a lacey pattern from grubbi, rondells, clasp, a strand of white glass pearls but everything else brown.  This is what I received in my kit


Always up for a challenge, first a pair of Jasper wire wrapped teardrop earrings

Work Table Wednesday

I have been amiss too long from my blogging.  It is so very hard when you also work a full time job.  Here I am on my lunch hour that I rarely get to take writing my blog today. One of the Groups I am in is sponsored by Brenda Sue Lansdowne

 of B'sue Boutique  where brass stampings, vintage brass stampings are sold.  She has a facebook group called B'sue Boutiques Creative Group  Every Wednesday is Work Table Wednesday.  It was created to help artist complete some of those old projects we have laying around that have been started but never finished.  Or look at your table of supplies and be inspired to create something and complete the project by friday for finished up Friday every week.  So my table looks like this.  I received an order of brass stampings and have not put them away because I need to make Jewelry! I am going to use this piece lower left hand side

I am going to combine it with this large Raw Brass 5 slotted petal stamping and build an assemblage piece, The same slotted Stamping in Rusty black for another Necklace.

So now I am going to choose a few more components, wash my raw brass of any excess oils so that I can colorize it and I will see you Tomorrow for the next step.
