Putting on the glitz

I know... while jewelry is for the wearer not necessarily for the
home per say, it is part of an artful life.

As a jewelry designer, I know that handmade runs the gamut
​ from precious metals (PMC clay is a great medium to use)
to more rustic bits using leather and cording.  
And nothing is more personal than one's choices in
personal/individual adornment.
And it's very unisex... the desire to make one's own
style statement.

Do you find yourself standing at an in-store jewelry
display where there are multiples of same style
necklaces, earrings and bracelets and wonder -
what else is out there that truly reflects my style?

This is what started me on my own jewelry-making journey
and what a journey it has been! 
The amount of materials, mediums and techniques to
blow your mind are out there, so why settle?
Well don't!

The next question is - okay Kelly how do I know what
my style is?  It's easier than you think :-)
Just follow your eye; yep your eye!
Lester and I have been taking part in many shows to
know that.  One show, we had a group of ladies making
the rounds of jewelry vendors.  They went around 4 times
if recollection serves me.  One lady in particular always
and every single time was drawn to one set -every time!
Les said that to her - did you know...
She did finally make the purchase (sigh)

So trust your eye and your instinct in every aspect
of making choices in the handmade (even factory made)
market to adorn not just your home but your
person as well.

Lead an artful life everybody!
