Enchanted Affair I had a great time at the retreat I went to with Karla. we went to the wholesale district of LA in the afternoon before the event started. That evening we had a small sellers event, this was the entrance area. This table had one of many of the gifts we got at this event This is one of the decorations made from copies of Karla's mural The next morning we were greeted sparkling apples to tell us where to sit This is the box I got with a great necklace in a swap (from Karla) I stacked up the gifts I got that weekend on and in front of the TV in my hotel room This lovely crown and bird where part of the crafts, this one is Karla's These were the projects I did in the classes. I had so much fun I would like to host a similar event in Park City in the summer of 2014.

Finally getting back to work I have been "off" for quite  while, but I am back to get some things going again. I sorted through the finished pieces I have done and plan to take to Anime Expo in July. For that artist alley I plan to make several different types of things, not just jewelry. As that progresses I will keep updating. I also want to do some thing for my Etsy shop. Hopefully I will have a few thing going and ready to put up by the end of the month. Here is where I am starting out. These are a couple of chain maille bracelets I plan to finish tomorrow Above and below are the Chaos that is my work area right now I think I will just star creating as I go through and see what comes up! Wish me luck and I am off!

What's Up I had a great time at the retreat with Karla and will blog more on that shortly.  I need to give a thanks to Alicia for helping me change the blog name and to Alyse who has said she will be showing me how to do more things blogging. They are both great resources and I am lucky to have them! I have played with a lot of different style of steam punk style things. Working with components for a necklace. Early last fall I made this page for Karla's exchange last month it was mirrors for the retreat. I really liked these, but still need some work to refine them. some of my necklaces I still have a few other things to add to this style, so keep your eyes open for some in the near future! I am also adding some more styles in soon and will be keeping you all up to date. I have to do some changes on Etsy, the blog, and work up a website then I will start selling again.
I have not gotten a lot done on the business front this year. I am thinking of changing the name and for all purposes starting over. I will probably just start a new blog if I can not figure out how to change the name. I hope to finish plans for it this next week and make some choices on what I am going to do.
