Homesteaders Metalsmithing

I've been taking Stephanie Lee's Online Homesteaders Metalsmithing class.  What an awesome class this is for anyone who would love to learn basic metalsmithing skills.  Stephanie is an incredible teacher, her videos are awesome.  We have a yahoo group with great comments, advice, tips and a connection.

Here's a sample of some work from the class.  It's not all completed yet.  I'm hoping to break out the resin in a few days. 

Not Perfect, But I love this.

And a couple of finished pieces, Not from Stephanie's class, but I like them.

And my Stick pendant with a Kate McKinnon Flower pod.

Productive Week!

Finally!  I feel some creativity slowly creeping in.  I've been in such a rut lately.  I've met a great group of women at the Bead Bug in Alpharetta.  We met for our first get together a couple of weeks ago.  We'll be meeting again in a couple more weeks and I can't wait!

 Stephanie Lee's Homesteaders Metalsmithing class starts the 9th, I'm getting REALLY excited about that.

I sent off my registration for Art Unraveled's Adorn Me! 2011 and I got all my first choice classes. 

Things are looking up!  I'll be posting more pictures soon of other things that I have made in the last week.  I'm so happy to be back in the swing of things.  Please give me feedback if you've stumbled across my pictures and let me know what you think!  I'll be posting more soon.
