I wrote about the Chaos Earrings in an earlier post and this week made several more in preparation for a show this weekend in Omaha, Nebraska...
JanRa Jewelry Design I am attempting to put together a circuit of shows in the southern US (FL, AL, TX) in the winter and today received my first acceptance! The Estero Fine Arts Show is located near Naples, FL and will be held on Feb. 27-28. Now I just need a few more shows in order to make it worth the VERY long drive!
JanRa Jewelry Design I have been included in a Treasury on etsy.com! You can only view this Treasury until 8AM on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd. I am pretty sure that the woman who put this together purchased a tutorial from me (she lives in the Netherlands).

I have finally finished the tutorial on making a woven bracelet!! I began work on this way back in March, and actually had most of the work done by April, but then the busy art show season intervened. I poked along on it, and began to make a concerted push to get it done in September...

I began making this style of earring last winter on a whim, almost, and have become quite enamored of the style. I make the frames by soldering (yes!) a ring of wire (18 or 20 gauge) and then shape it into a teardrop shape...
JanRa Jewelry Design I have been placed on the wait list for the American Craft Council show in St. Paul next April. Hope I make it off the list!
JanRa Jewelry Design Working on a new tutorial on weaving with wire that I started back in March! I am nearly done (I hope).
When at the Wells Street Art Fair in Chicago last June, I had a special order to make this necklace. I was staying in Chicago for the week so was able to finish it and hand-deliver it to my customer within a few days...
JanRa Jewelry Design Gold prices are over $1000 and silver is at $16.32, so I finally shipped off my accumulated scrap (over six pounds!) for credit at http://www.riogrande.com
Last winter (!) I attended an online workshop with Robert Dancik on making cold connections -- wire and tube rivets, among other techniques. It was great and I was fired up to try something new. I also bought a jewelers saw (finally) and sheet silver and copper to add to my stash...
