Much of my inspiration is not premeditated,
(I suppose inspiration always most often comes that way)
so when IT happens I still get all tingly inside & out.
Right now I am joyfully involved in my first ever online class that began
last Wednesday at Artful Gathering.
But
with all that to keep me busy, yesterday I began to focus on my little
trip to California, which is coming up quicker than I can imagine.
In a little less than 2 weeks, I will be teaching three classes at
One of which, is Heart Strings.
So, as I feed my students at AG tidbits of inspiration,
maybe with the latest stash of recycled sari silk that's arrived in the mail...
I magically find some myself. What a bonus....
I had no idea when I found these gorgeous vintage rhinestone watch
bezels in an Etsy dealer's shop, that I might be using them in my next
Heart Strings piece.
All three of them are more than gorgeous to me, and so very imperfect...one missing a rhinestone baguette, and its crystal.
But, then I remembered a watch I've had tucked away since my step-mother's passing quite a few years ago.
It was the watch she always wore. A lovely Bulova, with a sprinkle of tiny diamonds on each side of the face.
It has been safely tucked away with many other pieces of vintage jewelry I have bought.
This one is more important to me though, as it was Jewel's.
Just this last January, I had a small group of ladies come to my house to design their very own Heart Strings.
One, which has become a wonderful new friend, Bridget, used watch bezels in her Heart Strings, along with a vintage ID bracelet. The watch bezel was from her father's watch.
I blogged about the class here, and then just a week (or so) later we got together and she had her finished necklace along to show me.
It really touched my heart.
I do hope to see some of you (in person) in just a couple of weeks in Coronado.
The venue is gorgeous, and no doubt, Barb will have goodies for everyone.
The classes are small.
I have begun to love small classes.
So much more intimate,
and so much more time for talking and spending time with you....
See you soon...in Coronado, I hope!

DeleteMillions of women around the world get influenced by the different types of ornaments, worn by the celebrities and eminent personalities. Some of the ornaments, worn by the actresses in movies, are specially made, with the help of the orders or directions, provided by the directors and producers of the movies. You have got to make sure that the ornaments look good on you, as the ornaments may look good onscreen and on the body of the actors and actresses, but may look odd on you. So, you should not blindly follow what the celebs are wearing in the movies or the events they attend. There are numerous jewelry manufacturers, which produce the jewelries, including Kristall Schmuck, for the actors and actresses to wear in movies.
