geting back to things....

Okay so I haven't been blogging here... truthfully I kind of forgot about this blog... but not now, sooooo let me bring you up to speed as to what's going on now with Higher Chakra Creations. Let's see, my obsession with wire grows DAILY... really finding myself in love with it and the versatility of it. Is it wire that I am obsessed with or the product of what wire can create?
It's likely more of the latter, cause I do not hoard wire the way I hoard beads (self professed bead whore here). I use it to make stuff, and as soon as I get that package of wire, I go into the studio and start to cut, bend, file, polish, tarnish, hammer, wrap... and whatever else my heart desires... point is, I love it because it is a medium that is only bound by your imagination. If you have the skill, know-how, and creativity, there are endless possibilities.

What have I been up to lately? Well for one I'm waiting on more wire, sterling anyway. My obsession with rings is finally paying off, I have made one's that I love... and now am experimenting with different designs and techniques... good thing they finally started working for me... it was a long road with those. The first ones were nothing short of a disaster, but as my skill and knowledge increased I finally had something click and they started to work, and look good too! Now I am making all kinds of different ones... I even made a herkimer diamond ring (it sold already!) Once my wire gets here I'll make more of them. Now I have an appointment with a gallery this weekend to show them rings.

I also have an obsession with dragonflies... they are plentiful around here, and I see them regularly out the window of my studio. I have started a line of dragonfly jewelry... there is nothing totally finished yet, but some half finished pieces are in the works. I am also in the development process of some interesting new designs focusing on dragonflies and other garden things. Some of my ideas are going to give my jewelry a more 3-d effect for certain pieces... so far this is all in the development stage, but the new year should bring some new very different pieces.

Sooo Stay tuned and I will not ignore this blog anymore.
