.................and so have my fingers!!! :0) With my Spring shows just around the corner, and coming on fast, I've been working furiously this week to get ready for them. Of course, as is usually the case, some of the shops where I'm on consignment, are also in need of pieces. So, my winter break is over, and it's on, on, on until ......... well, next January!! Better find some good finger exercises, huh?

Your necklaces & earrings are so unique & beautiful!! I;m sure they'll be a hit at your Spring shows!!
fabulous! i am excited to get going on a slightly larger project - just need some uninterrupted time to get everything ready!
Gorgeous and inspiring! I stayed up late last night coaxing a pair of earrings to Stop Wiggling Around so I could finish them. Sometimes jewelry making is a lot like fishing. You've got to get that tiny piece of metal to do what you want without jamming it in your finger or losing your fish.
I'm excited to get all my new work listed and maybe sculpt some in the in-betweens. You are a powerhouse of production lady!!
Beautiful work as always, Kelli! I just got my registration packet for the farmers' markets where I sell my work all summer and into the fall - it's amazing, it'll be here before I know it! That means that the next couple of months, I'll be busy stitching up beaded ropes for the dozens and dozens of cabochon pendants that I've been working on all winter. Hooray for spring!
Looks like you're on a roll, Kelli! They're all beautiful. My sights shifted this week when I turned from making beaded creations to making a new home for some baby chickens (our first time). But I've got seed beads all over the house and am excited about a couple of beaded bracelets I'm making using Ndebele/herringbone stitch and square stitch. Such a different world than lampwork!
These are beautiful, Kelli! Besides having the satisfaction of making all of your own components and beads for your jewelry, look at the money you've saved in buying materials!
Your jewellery is so gorgeous! I especially like the second from the top - totally my colours. Very inspiring Kelli.
