Today I spent my morning looking on the fire mountain gems website trying to order some new supplies. If everything goes according to plan, I will soon be ordering some silver Precious Metal Clay which I can use my brand new blowtorch to fire. Once it's fired it will act like a piece of silver. This new material will open up a huge realm of new possibilities and it's so exciting!
I'll also be ordering the sterling silver wire I spoke about yesterday (Argentinium wire), which will be practically tarnish resistant and which I will use for both wire wrapping and making earring hooks. I'm excited about all these new possibilities and potentially never buying earring hooks again!
Today I had another fabulous day in Boston... my favorite thing to do while I'm home for break. My friend and I found a nice cafe at a building that turns out to be the headquarters of the Boston Society of Architects. Architecture is one of my favorite things, so much so that it was even my future plan at one point. The cafe discovery was meant to be!
For today's earrings I used more of my holiday gift beads.
I know they're a little weird and different, but I'm pretty proud of them. They're funky, and I'm branching out. I didn't use my go-to formula: biggest bead on the bottom. The result is something really cool.
Hope you like them! That's it for today, I have visitors! These will be up on etsy soon.
Love and Beads,
Eve
