In my email today was a fall newsletter from a very talented jewelry artist - Danielle Miller.
Although we have never officially met, we are Facebook friends. I always look forward to her posts on Facebook because she is a "one woman shop". She makes jewelry that is absolutely beautiful.

The topic of her newsletter is the Etsy Metal Team's 4th Anniversary. Danielle as well as many talented metalsmiths are members of this juried team. I have always hoped to add my name to the list of hopefuls to become a member of this team. The team has a wonderful website and blog. VERY informative and inspiring.

In honor of their 4th Anniversay the team is giving away four $50 gift certificates which are redeemable at ANY Etsy Metal members Etsy shop - YES, it includes Danielle's shop too !!!!

Take a look:

Arkansas Arts Center Museum School Fall Session

I will be teaching "Introduction to Jewelry" on Monday and Wednesday nights. Classes are from 6:30 to 9:30 pm. This class is an introduction to traditional jewelry making skills with hands on experience in layout, drill, pierce, file, form solder texture and polishing various metals.

Students will complete several pieces, one of which will include a bezel-set cabochon stone ring.

The Museum School Class Schedule is "online only" this session in an effort to "go green". The registration is online as well. Art Center membership is encouraged and members receive a discounted tuition for Museum School Classes.

Please visit the link below for more information and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Happy New Year!

Its well into January now and I think its time to keep this blog moving along. My website is undergoing some revamping to allow purchases without going to the Etsy store. I have been working on some designs for Valentines Day....hearts, of course. Stephano's will be having some type of event for Valentines....Stay tuned for updates on that. New designs including work with copper and various patinas and finishes to get a different look and add some color!!!
The magazine that I am being featured in will hit the newstands on March 1st I am told.
