Leather Wrap Class at The Bead Shop on Magazine St.

I'm so stoked about this upcoming class that I'm teaching in June. So when I walked into the Bead Shop on Magazine last weekend and saw my examples being displayed I was beside myself. I asked that they unlock the glass so that I could take a picture! That's how excited I was.

Call (504) 895-6161 to register.

The examples shown is a one wrap and a three wrap bracelet but the class will focus on making the one wrap in order to learn the whole process.

Everyone knows I've been making a lot of leather wrap bracelets these days. I can't have enough and lucky for me I know how to make them. Otherwise they would cost a fortune. They are so much fun to make and I would like to teach everyone how to do it!

I'm teaching the workshop at The Bead Shop on Magazine St. on Thursday June 2, 2011 at 6:00 pm.

Call the Bead Shop at (504) 895-6161 and sign up for the class.

Do it now! Don't mean to be pushy but sometimes it just comes out.

Come and join me... I would love to meet you!

The Risk to Bloom

It all started with an acorn button and grew from there. In an earlier post I mentioned this button swap blog hop, that I am participating in, and how I was immediately drawn to the acorn button. Every day I would hold it in my hand, feel its essence, exam it, and then put it down. This lasted for about 2 weeks. Then I remembered I had etched an oak tree on to brass when making buttons for my partner Kylie of Lotus Out Loud . And... so begins the journey of creating something with this wonderful acorn button, which only started yesterday. Haha! Etched brass was copper riveted to a piece of oak. Merci beaucoup Papi for finding some oak! I am using what Jesse taught me in his workshop . It was the first time trying his technique. It worked beautifully! The riveted brass was then captured with a piece of pierced copper. Voila! And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in...

Pepe Jump Ring Maker...New Is Not Always Better...

For the follow up (2014) on jump ring makers go here . Introducing Pepe's new AND improved Jump Ring maker... When I received my new jump ring maker I knew the new model was more compact but did not expect it to be so unstable. It was precarious but I accepted it. After all I will have jump rings galore with a single swipe! The outcome outweighed the little difference and yes...I am lazy! hahaha!!! To the bench I go to test things out. Test No. 1 The first set of jump rings turned out great! I was satisfied. ☺ I then received an email saying that the top plate (cover) that came with the system was too thick and needed to be replaced. Okay. I receive the new plate but did not test it out until some friends were over and wanted a demo. Well...it was difficult to place the handpiece collar over the plate. It did not fit over the coil holding device very well. I had to finagle it to go in ...

Wabi-Sabiness

Hola everyone! New Orleans is hunkering down because we are about to get "Wintry Mix". Whatever that means and in south Louisiana we just do not know how to drive on ice and so great havoc ensues. The city has decided to shut down. I know...it's some crazy stuff down here! Anyways... my mother saw some stacking rings I made a couple of weeks ago and requested a set. So I sat in my studio and thought about texture and a word I wanted to inscribe. I meditated, sitting there in my chair, and spinning myself in circles until I got dizzy and had to stop. Oh wait...I digress. Back to the subject. My mind has been preoccupied with wabi-sabi lately and I thought that this is just befitting. My mom is totally sabi!!! I inscribed the word sabi inside of the silver ring and thus began my journey. Sabi means (in the most simplistic definition) the beauty or serenity that comes with age, when the life of the object and its impe...
