I have and idea for a design but I can't find the findings that I need, I have search high and low but no luck. Last night I had the idea of asking people on the net and see if anyone can help me.

A Fascination With Keys

What is it about keys that intrigue people so?

Is it the mystery and secrets that surrounds them? Keys can unlock chests,cars,doors,safes and myriad of other things. I think people love keys because of the association the word holds to secret and personal things.

I am doing a line of jewelry right now based off of scrap book finding keys stamped with important words. Each word has its own symbolism but when combined with a key..the imaginative mind takes flight!

I need to go buy… Continue

Beaded Rings

To date, I've made 25 beaded rings since I started beading two months ago. Being a sewer all of my life, I naturally segued to beading. I wear my rings, a different one, or two, every day, even if I never leave the house. I love looking at them and still can't believe I made them. I want to become an accomplished beader. I've now started beading my own designs and this is very rewarding. Happy beading, everyone. Pat

Secret Garden Necklace

My dad put in a swimming pool so he could keep track of all of us and so we had a tall fence all away around the perimeter of the yard.

I thought of it as a wonderland and called it my secret garden. I would open the gate and… Continue
