<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The past three months of this class have been a joy and a challenge. Even though I did take the class last year, there’s been so much more new information to think about and work with this time around. I've realized that my jewelry style is pretty well established at this point, and I’m comfortable working with both individual one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, and with lines and collections. Jewelry lines are a great way to offer designs that are just right for many different customers, while keeping to a theme. My Tre Rose line from last year offers an example of the many styles available while all in the roses theme.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I’m still working on the marketing and branding of Novegatti Designs ... and probably will be for awhile. I do hope to get that Etsy or other online shop open this year, and to develop a cohesive packaging method. And I really need to come up with a logo ... that includes a cat, of course! Our teacher, Brenda Sue, and my classmates have inspired me to work harder on getting my jewelry and my name 'out there!'</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I’ve had such a wonderful time creating the ‘Timeless’ pearl and crystal jewelry line! So much fun, in fact, that I’ve had a hard time stopping. New designs were and are constantly popping into my head, and I've come up with three collections within this line: 'Forever Flora,' 'Enduring Romance,' and 'Endless Elegance.' I can see many more new pieces added regularly, in these and new collections!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">'Timeless' is just that ... timeless and classic. It's the type of jewelry that perhaps your grandma wore to church, or your mom donned for a wedding, or your big sister wore to the prom. Pearls and crystals and golden-hued brass add up to a special and classic touch to any jewelry collection. They're also perfect for bridal or prom jewelry. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"> I now present the new 'Timeless' line from Novegatti Designs. They say a picture is worth a thou</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">sand words, so I'll let the photos speak mainly for themselves:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Nothing is more lovely and classic than flowers and leaves ... everyone loves nature's beauty. I used a special technique to achieve an old-fashioned golden glow to the brass.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Special occasions call for that extra touch. Perfect for a bride or a special night out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And that is my 'Timeless' jewelry line ... so far! I have plans for additions to these collections, and more collections in other themes. A cat theme, perhaps? ;) Working with only brass, glass ivory-white pearls, and clear crystal Czech beads let me see the designs and possibilities, without being distracted by color. I truly loved working on this line, and it was even more enjoyable sharing the workroom time with Toby and my other feline friends.</span></div>

I'm Pamela Anger of Novegatti Designs, and of course my main assistant is usually Toby the Himalayan. Help yourself to a cup of joe, and and stroll into the workroom to see how our new jewelry line is coming along!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My BALC theme this year, as you may recall, is pearls and crystal ... the "Timeless" jewelry line. From ancient through modern times, pearls and crystal glass have been used to create delightful jewelry pieces. Although I'm using glass pearls and czech glass beads, the beauty of timeless classic jewelry shines on. Look at some of the lovely things I'm working with!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's been quite the interesting journey during this class so far. Even though I did take the class last year as well, there's always new things to learn, especially from the stories, comments, and life experiences from our teacher and classmates. Trends, design eras, pricing, fashion ... all very important things to take into consideration when designing jewelry. (even if I still do think all of the clothes in Vogue are rather weird!) ;) </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Research is so imperative to help find your style, your niche. I purchased some great jewelry history books to not only learn from, but enjoy! Oooh, pretty!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have always loved vintage jewelry, particularly from the early to mid 20th-century. What the designers from Haskell, Hagler, Schiaparelli, Joseff, Carnegie, and so many more created ... oh my, such talent! I can only aspire to fashion something so beautiful. This necklace, which I created a few months ago for a challenge, was inspired by Haskell jewelry ... and in turn inspired my 'Timeless' pearl and crystal line:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Rhinestone jewelry is my favorite, but I'm also so in love with the look of classic crystal and pearls. I decided to create my BALC line with these classic beads and B'Sue Boutiques brass components to try to capture the bygone look of timeless jewelry from incredible designers. It's a look that can be simple to sophisticated, fussy to fabulous, understated to elegant, sweet to sensational!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Toby and I have been having SO much fun with our "Timeless" line! I have had so many ideas that I can hardly finish a piece for starting new projects almost daily. This is a good thing ... but if only I had more time in the day to keep going! "Timeless" includes necklaces, bracelets, brooches, pins, earrings ... simple and classic to dramatic and timeless. This line would also be wonderful for bridal jewelry. I've also realized that many of the pieces in this pearl and crystal line will be able to be interpreted with other types of beads, so ... WOW ... think of the possibilities!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At this point in my jewelry career, I'm somewhat between an artisan-hobbyist and a maker/designer who'd like to ramp up the business and really get it going. I'm undecided at times; I love to create one-of-a-kind pieces on my own time and pace, yet I want a wider online presence with my jewelry. As I develop this and other lines, I'll be able to offer a wider variety of designs, styles, and price ranges ... something for everyone! I'm still hoping to open an Etsy shop this year as well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> friend who is also a wonderful customer told me that a student at the college she attends recently admired the necklace that she was wearing. It was one of mine, and she replied that a friend had made it. He was surprised and commented that it looked like the jewelry that his mom had gotten from his grandma. Well ... that’s high praise indeed to me! That means my style shows ... that’s my goal: vintage-inspired jewelry! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Although I am an alumni of the 2015 BALC, I decided to take this 3-month-long master class again. Why take a class a second time? So many reasons! For one, the format of the class is different, and I've already learned so many new things about design styles, jewelry history, and more. Secondly ... much of the information I gain from the class is from the discussions with other classmates, and with some old and new friends in the class along with our teacher ... there's a wealth of knowledge flying around just ready to be grabbed. And lastly ... it's fun! I'm excited to be taking this journey again to further my understanding what it takes to create and market a cohesive jewelry line.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I've always been a crafty person; my happiest times have always been creating something. Years ago, I had a country crafts business, but it never felt 'right.' When I started making jewelry, I found my true love. Or perhaps rediscovered ... I was always fascinated by gems and pretty jewelry as a child. Over the years, vintage and vintage-style jewelry called out to me, and I've been greatly inspired by it, particularly the pieces of the mid 20th century by Haskell, Hagler, Amourelle, and others. Here's some vintage pieces that I love:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My jewelry journey hasn't always been easy ... it's an ongoing learning process. Looking back at earlier pieces, I can see how my style evolved. I'm comfortable with where I am now as far as design style ... my own take on early to mid-20th century retro. Oh, I still try new techniques all the time, and sometimes pieces that look different come along. I've learned so much over the past few years that I feel confident following my heart. Some of these necklaces I made are still close to my heart.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I happily live on a small farm in Minnesota with my husband, a bunch of rescued cats, and a few dozen assorted chickens. I absolutely love it, and can't imagine ever moving back to the city. The nature around me is always inspiring. I've also got a nice big workroom in our big old farmhouse for my jewelry creating ... my own bead cave!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm usually joined in my workroom by furry assistants. Although several felines hang out with me, Toby the Himalayan is my usual partner. You may know him from the B'Sue Boutiques Creative Group ... he's become quite a favorite among some of the other artists, and he will be 'helping' me in the challenge this time too!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last year for the BALC, I created a floral line featuring three polymer clay roses ... Tre Rose. It was b</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">ased on an old sentimental family story of roses that my father gave my mother long ago. It was a very feminine, romantic collection of jewelry. I enjoyed creating it, and came away from last year's BALC with a greater understanding of jewelry lines.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Over the years, I've found myself making more and more jewelry that might be considered 'classic' ... pieces that could be worn with many outfits, in neutral colors, that would always be in style. I'm fascinated with classic jewelry designs, and love these necklaces that I designed a few years ago. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">That's why I decided to build my line this year based on the ageless classics: <b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">pearls and crystal.</span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sounds kind of self-limiting, doesn't it? .... just brass components, white glass pearls, clear glass crystal beads, and rhinestones. But, no! I think I've had more ideas for this line than I've every had before, and I'm so excited to be working on it. The designs so far range from simple and classic to more ornate for evening wear, and the ideas keep coming. The "Timeless" (working name) line will include necklaces, bracelets, brooches, and earrings, all in classic pearls and crystal.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">At the end of this class, during the third blog hop, I'll reveal my completed new line of jewelry. I anticipate many more pieces to come in the future as well ... the possibilities are endless! In the meanwhile, there is a lot of work to do. I have confidence that my heart will lead my hands, and my head will keep both of them in line! </span><br />

It seems like the year had just begun, and here we are at the end already. I hope you all had a nice year ... I did! The highlight, of course, was the birth of my sweet little grandson, Jaxon William. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Jaxon was born on November 5th via an emergency c-section due to cord complications. He was only 2 weeks early, but needed to stay in the NICU for 3-1/2 weeks due to some medical problems caused by the cord issues. I'm thrilled to say that since Jaxon has been home with his parents and brother, he's been doing just wonderfully! Gaining weight, inches, and strength like a champ! Our Christmas was very blessed with this new little addition to our lives. ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Of course the holidays are a very busy time for me, because I'm one of those people who think she has to do it all, do it over the top, and do it handmade. I made gazillions of treats and goodies for gifts for the family and some friends, and although every year I say I'm going to cut back, not do it, maybe do something different ... each Christmas I feel compelled to go nuts in the kitchen. Maybe next year I'll slow down ...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Along with holiday shopping and everyday life with hubby, pets, and work, I never even got a chance to sit down in my jewelry workroom in December! I missed creating in my cozy cave so much that the day after Christmas, I cleaned up the table, reorganized a few things and prepped for what I hope will be a productive New Year of jewelry-making.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My New Year's resolution and goal is to advance my jewelry business. Towards that end, I am again taking the Build a Line Challenge Master Class given by B'Sue Boutiques during January to March. Why take the class again when I already successfully completed it (with even a mention of my line at the end of the class by the judges)? There are several reasons, which you'll learn more about in my first blog hop for the class in late January. ;) Suffice it to say that I'm excited to develop my new BALC jewelry line!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There's also another jewelry line on my table as well. I've wanted to create a birth'stone' themed collection of jewelry for some time now, and there is no better time than the present! With the possibilities of necklaces, brooches, bracelets, and even earrings with quality brass stampings/filigrees and Czech faceted glass beads in birthstone colors, I'm anticipating many offerings for individual birthstone pieces, and custom pieces for couples, moms, grandmas, aunts, and more! I'm working on a few designs right now .... ideal for a special couple, or mom or grandma's special children, or ... ? You decide and help me design your perfect gift or treasure! More on this line will be coming soon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Meanwhile, my thoughts are on beginning my BALC line, as the class starts next week! I'm thrilled to be again working with some amazing jewelry artists, and very happy to not only meet some new friends but see some familiar 'faces' in my classmates this year. Brenda Sue Lansdowne of <a href="http://www.bsueboutiques.com/">B'Sue Boutiques</a> heads our class, and she and even her son and sister-in-law (who both work for the business) are joining the class and creating jewelry lines. I have a feeling this is going to be a fantastic (and fun!) learning experience this time around. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here we are at the B'Sue Boutiques "Change It Up" Blog Hop .... glad you could join us! Pour yourself a cup of joe, and join me and Toby!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our blog hop mission was to take one of four specific brass components from B'Sue Boutiques, use it in a way that's different than its usual way, inspired by current fashion trends, but with a vintage flair, and create a statement jewelry piece ... now that is one tall order!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfJPXNuCbOsfj_UgbyGb-ndfIjX4sY2oHMaO36Q7RbF3IMScVaaNpHY4e-_1YWsK6IIIyzchl2XMpk1gypPFs0fP5jZhoeGykxMX4CFmCdsJ0J2Uucd3ShT_6FULoFoxbrnB3geVr-N85T/s1600/bloghop4pieces.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfJPXNuCbOsfj_UgbyGb-ndfIjX4sY2oHMaO36Q7RbF3IMScVaaNpHY4e-_1YWsK6IIIyzchl2XMpk1gypPFs0fP5jZhoeGykxMX4CFmCdsJ0J2Uucd3ShT_6FULoFoxbrnB3geVr-N85T/s320/bloghop4pieces.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I first decided to join this blog hop and make a piece using the above guidelines, I had no clue what I'd make. I'm not a cuff-bracelet person, and the brass tie didn't inspire me, so I knew it'd be the floral crescent or large brass heart pendant. Or maybe both ...</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I did have an idea for what I wanted to do with the crescent. I'm always inspired by Haskell and Hagler jewelry, and I've made some wired assemblage necklaces before. My jewelry style is usually vintage-inspired, so this part was a no-brainer for me ... follow my heart and style. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now, how to follow current fashion trends while keeping that 1940's flavor .... aha! Luckily, pearls are big this year, and I happened to have a nice old multi-</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">strand vintage 'pearl' necklace with rhinestone filigree beads that would be perfect to repurpose with this necklace. The 'change it up' part really stymied me though. How can I make this different? Turn it upside down? Nope. Hmm, how about asymmetrical, using it more to the side-center? Yes, that's it!</span></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The focal itself was easy, and I zoomed right along. The vintage-look patina came about naturally from handling and heating the metal. The part that stalled me for a bit was the 3-strand section opposite the crescent. It took awhile to get that 'just right' but finally ... success! A simple strung neckchain, and voila .... trendy pearls with a Haskell flair in a unique asymmetrical statement necklace! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But ... I still have time! What to do with the large brass heart pendant that's unusual? Turn it this way and that, and ... aha! That's it! Something glitzier, shinier, blingier ... like the beautiful rhinestone jewelry of years ago ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I started with some unmirrored-back unset pointed-back faceted glass 'stones.' How to set them so the facets reflected back threw me for a bit until I read an article on using 'gold' leaf in polymer clay settings. That works!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some brass leaves joined the mix, along with a large brass shamrock component. Toss in some small pearl cabs, and we're ready to create something different ...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">... and different it is! A glammy fish brooch reminiscent of the days when big brooches ruled, with a joined smaller pearl 'bubble' pin. I've always loved those joined pins, and adored rhinestones, so this piece reminds me of days past when real ladies wore brooches.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is, of course, only one name for this piece ... the decidedly unvintagey name of "Mr. Super Bling-Bling Fish." Since I collect cat pins, Toby decided that Mr. Super Bling-Bling Fish needed to stay with us on the pin board so the cat pins could watch him shimmer. ;) </span><br />

I hope to be able to keep up with more posts, more frequently in the future.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Where have I been for the past six months? Right here, on Clover Blossom Farm, but BUSY! Gardening, pet care, and jewelry-making took up most of my time during summer vacation from my school kitchen job. Some physical issues kept me just relaxing some days (oh darn, huh?) Then, there was the party:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yes, my son and his lady are having a baby boy! He's due in November, and we had a lovely baby shower party here on the farm last month. Of course that takes lots of planning and preparation, and we crafty-types can't just buy decorations and such, oh no. We have to make them all, and are simple things good enough? ::shaking head no:: Suffice it to say, I spent a lot of time ... and had a lot of FUN ... getting ready for the party which was a huge success! Now to wait for that little grandson to arrive .... <3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

I'll always treasure it as not only a learning experience about jewelry lines ... but about myself. Over the past three months, the discussions about jewelry collections, lines, branding, marketing, packaging, and more have been very enlightening and informative. But I've also learned a lot about ME, and how I work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I've discovered that my vision of cohesive jewelry lines and my desire to create one-of-a-kind art jewelry can coexist happily! I didn't think that was possible, but I've learned that following your heart while listening to your instincts is key. While jewelry artists need to be aware of trends and current styles, that doesn't necessarily mean following the crowd. Nothing makes me happier than making a unique piece of jewelry, but how cool is it that I've now learned how to turn that one piece into an exciting and cohesive line if I choose to! </span></div>

With necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and pins in several styles, the choices get even better when the customer can choose custom colors too. The polymer clay roses are all handmade, so the possibilities are endless with style and color combinations! Most of the line will range from $12 to $60, so the pieces are affordable yet exquisite. The jewelry pieces all coordinate with each other; brass chains, glass pearls and Czech faceted beads, and hand-tinted brass all tie them into one pretty vintage-look package!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> My Build a Line Challenge theme, as you may remember, is based on the three roses that my father gave to my mother when they were dating; he told her that they represented the words "I - Love - You." My mother recently recalled: "I can remember the very first time that Dad gave me the roses, before we were married, and had the three roses with three hearts ... one taped on each rose ... with the message 'I LOVE YOU.' It has stayed with us all of these years." And it has ... with other family members too. I'm happy to be using a family tradition as my line theme.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> It's been an interesting journey these past weeks, in the <a href="http://bsueboutiques.typepad.com/bsue_boutiques_jewelry_su/2014/12/getting-it-together-for-the-build-a-line-challenge-from-bsue-boutiques.html" target="_blank">Build a Line Challenge</a>. I've wanted to create a more polished jewelry line for awhile now, so this class came at a great time. Along with teacher Brenda Sue Lansdowne, my classmates and I have learned much through discussions about trends, designs, kinds of jewelry artists, pricing, and so much more. I'll touch more on that in another post. Although I did have a theme in mind for my challenge line right from the start, I struggled for awhile with how to bring it all together ...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Finally, the "Aha!" moment arrived one day. I laid out all of the components I'd originally planned to use ... and eliminated most of the them. The old KISS principle -- "Keep it Simple, Stupid" -- holds true. (By the way, did you know that KISS was a design principle noted by the US Navy in 1960?) I was over-thinking, over-planning, going overboard ... and was making things too complicated for myself Once I simplified, it all made sense. And I started having fun!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I took the suggestion of a jewelry friend to use an Italian version of 'three roses' for my line name: "Tre Rose." (pronounced 'tray ro-SAY'). "Novegatti" is Italian for 'nine cats,' so also using this romantic language for the delicate rose them of my line seemed appropriate.</span><br />

Very early. In the summer and on the weekends when I don't work at my 'real' job, I head up to my workroom around 4 or 5 a.m. It's dark, it's quiet, it's peaceful ... as long as I tiptoe and most of the cats don't wake up and beg for breakfast! First stop before the workroom, though, is the pantry. There my faithful assistant, Toby, has already prepared the coffee and is ready to pour a cup for me. (Hah, I wish!) Grab a cup and come along with me ....</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Coffee mug in hand (and usually an over-the-shoulder totebag full of jewelry supplies that have somehow migrated downstairs), I make my way to my second-floor workroom. Sometimes my grandcat, Lily, has spent the night warming up my chair for me ... isn't that nice of her?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Lily gets moved to another place to supervise, but Kody contentedly keeps snoozing on the worktable. He's no trouble at all, unless he stretches and his looong legs knock something over!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Finally, I can settle in at my very neat and tidy (hahaha) table to work. I usually have about 80 gazillion projects in the works at a time, but there are times that I just let the beads and components tell me what they want me to do with them. There's plenty of pretty things to choose from:</div>

And if we run out of beads (like maybe in the year 2099) ... there's always spare jars full of sparklies ...<br />

The worktable turns into a big mess while I work, but somehow I manage to keep track of my beads, brass, charms, and tools. Most of the time. Well, sometimes. Now where did I put those roundnose pliers??</div>

It's about time for a coffee break. Too bad my assistants won't run downstairs to get it for me! The coffee is hot and strong, and in my favorite mug .... featuring the 'mug' of my special Himalayan, Lynsi. You'll notice it also matches my pliers cup on the lazy susan. Cracked coffee mugs make great tool and pencil containers. Oh, there's the roundnose pliers! ;)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Usually I stop working on jewelry creations by about 9:00 a.m. or so ... the chickens are outside cackling for their breakfast, the dog has to go out, the garden needs tending in the summer, and WHAT was that crash downstairs?? TOBY ......!!! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Most mornings, I'll end up in the middle of a project or six, but on good days, I'll have completed jewelry pieces, such as this recent 'goddess' trio. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My workroom is my favorite place to be, a cozy beadcave where I can lose myself for hours and hours, yet find myself creatively. I'm glad you came along to visit ... thank you for sharing a morning with me. Come back to visit anytime ... the door is always open, and Toby will have the coffee ready! :)</div>

I was thrilled when I learned that I was accepted into this 3-month-long master class to learn more about what it takes to create a cohesive jewelry line, how to work in my own style while considering current trends, and how to take my jewelry to the next leve</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 21.6000003814697px;">l.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 21.6000003814697px;"> I've always been a crafty person, and learned to do many arts and crafts as a child. My happiest times were creating something. For several years in the '80s, I made and sold the then-popular country decorations, but was never happy doing so ... just not my thing. I had always been fascinated by jewels, however. I even cut out pictures of gems from catalogs and taped them to my ears and fingers as a kid! When it finally dawned on me about 15 years ago that *I* could make pretty jewelry, a whole new world opened up. I was in love!</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 21.6000003814697px;"> Although I grew up in the city, I now live on a small farm in Minnesota with my husband, and I love it. No more city living for me ... I'll never move back! The nature around me is always inspiring. New green growth in the spring, pretty flowers in the summer, gorgeous fall colors, and icy wonderlands in the winter ... always beautiful inspiration for new jewelry designs. I'm also lucky enough to have a whole workroom in our big old 5-bedroom farmhouse in which to create my jewelry. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 21.6000003814697px;"> I'm blessed, too, to have my furry feline assistants, who are all rescues. Although there are several kitties that hang out in the workroom, Toby the Himalayan is my apprentice and usual helper. He's become quite a favorite among some of the other artists in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/bsueboutiquescreativegroup/" target="_blank">BSue Boutiques Creative Group</a>, and he'll be helping me in the Challenge. </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 21.6000003814697px;"> Why did I join this challenge? Although I've been designing and creating jewelry for years, it's only been recently that I'd begun to think in terms of jewelry lines or collections. I have a little summer line of shabby patinated necklaces (The Rusty Rose Collection), and I made a small series of wintery-Christmas necklaces ... but hadn't really gotten together any traditional jewelry lines. Joining this class was the opportunity and nudge I needed to point myself in the direction of making lines that were appealing and affordable.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 21.6000003814697px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 21.6000003814697px;"> I thought long and hard about the line that I wanted to create for the class. It ultimately came down to following my heart and instincts, and my own style. I decided upon classic, simple floral designs using my handmade white polymer clay roses, brass leaves and filigree, and glass pearls and beads.</span><br />

Why three, you ask? When my father was courting my mother many years ago, he wanted to buy her roses but couldn't afford a dozen of them. He gave her three roses instead, and told her that they represented the three words "I Love You." Isn't that sweet? The three 'I Love You' roses have continued through the years and other family members, and is carried on in this jewelry line as well.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 21.6000003814697px;"> My goal with this kind of jewelry line is for it to appeal to many. I thought about possibly making a more specialized, or more complicated design line, but sometimes simplicity speaks for itself. I've been creating more classic designs lately, and I'm hoping that this line will follow that path too.</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 21.6000003814697px;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> When I first learned about the B'Sue Boutiques Build a Line Design Challenge in early December, I was interested right away. What fun, an online class to learn more about how to put a jewelry line together! Discussing fun jewelry things with other artists, sharing ideas, learning ... what a neat thing to do! And then ... that four-letter word was said: BLOG. One of the necessary requirements of applying for the class was to have a working blog. Uh oh ....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I've had blogs before; years ago I had a couple of personal ones that were really more of journals to keep track of events in my life at the time. But a professional blog? I had no clue! And the reason that applicants needed to have a blog was that part of the class training was to participate in three blog hops. Hops? Where are we hopping to?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Those who are seasoned and veteran bloggers are probably well familiar with blog hops, but I'd never even heard of one. Thankfully, it was explained as time went by, and whew! It sounds fun! No worries at all!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Usually a blog hop is coordinated by one person, but many others participate. There's a project of some sort, and everyone in the blog hop posts pictures, information, etc. in their blogs on the same day ... including a list of all other participants and their blog links. Then, one 'hops' from blog to blog via the links, and it's like a big round-robin party. Doesn't that sound cool?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I'm joining in on my first blog hop tomorrow, the first one of three for the <a href="http://www.bsueboutiques.com/" target="_blank">B'Sue Boutiques</a> Build a Line Challenge. My post and photos are ready to be published on my blog tonight, and tomorrow we go hopping! We'll all be introducing ourselves, revealing our line themes, and showing lots of photos. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Anyone can follow along on the hop too .. not just the class members! I hope many of you will read my blog hop post tomorrow, and click on links to some of my friends' posts too ... lots of talented jewelry designers and creators here, and so many great ideas. You don't want to miss it! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> the master class Build a Line Design Challenge by B'Sue Boutiques ... yay! My feline assistant Toby was also invited to join in the fun, so things could get interesting! I think this experience will challenge me not only as an artist and in developing cohesive lines and collections, but will help me learn new things about promoting my jewelry, blogging, networking with others, and more. Hey, I've already learned to make a blog, so there's a good start already!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> While this will be a good challenge, I'm also facing other not-so-good challenges lately. Those who know me know that I'm a great cat and animal lover, and have a gang of furry 'kids' who mean very much to me. Last year dealt us several hard blows with the loss of five of our beloved pets from various causes. I also had surgery, fell on a cat, and ... well, one of those years. I was hoping 2015 would be better, but we've had a less than stellar beginning. One cat developed a severe eye problem, and another had a bad vestibular (inner ear) attack which affected his balance and left him unable to walk without falling for now. It's been continual vet visits and feline physical therapy and medicine the past weeks, so it's been hard to concentrate on other things. Difficult to see the good things ...</span><br />

It will get me moving, designing, and thinking. It always helps to have something to look forward to when the days aren't so sunny, and this challenge is my bright spot.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> January is usually the time of year when my mind says "Get up! I want to do this! We need to do that!" ... while my body says "Oh, let's just sit down and relax ... maybe later." Does that happen to you too? Does it feel like you're trapped in the lazy humdrum cage? Sometimes we need a little jumpstart, a little kick to actually get moving. My motivation this winter? Joining a fun challenge/class! Time to break out of that cage!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Tomorrow is the day .... the day that those of us who are taking the Build-A-Line Challenge/master class through B'Sue Boutiques submit our applications. Yep, applications! That's not to say that anyone will be rejected as long as they follow the rules. Our teacher, Brenda Sue Lansdowne, just understandably needs to know what everyone will be creating, along with other information, to make sure there aren't any duplicate or too similar lines. It's going to be such fun to eventually see what everyone comes up with.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I had SO many ideas when I first decided to do this. I'd decide on the perfect line, then change my mind the next day .... over and over. I laid out designs with this piece of brass, or that color beads, or this polymer clay flower ... and then toss it all back in the drawer, and start over again. One idea, one set of designs, though, kept coming back to me, so I decided that this was the one I was meant to do. Yes, I think it will change some as I go along, but it's really the style that is "me." I feel comfortable with it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The weather is still frightfully cold here (-40F wind chill this morning!, and I have another ill cat (vestibular syndrome) that needs to be watched closely, so I'm staying home as much as possible in the coming weeks. I've got plenty of ideas for new jewelry to keep me busy! Keep an eye on the blog and my Facebook page </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">for more information on the Challenge as I go along, and for new designs soon!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Every New Year, many people make resolutions to change something in their lives for the better. I don't make specific resolutions anymore, because I know I'm not going to keep them. I do, however, try to have a plan in mind to reach a goal during the year. This year, my goal is to refine and expand my jewelry business in a way that's fun for both me and my customers.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The first thing I'll be doing this year is joining a three-month long challenge, which is really more of a master class. Jewelry makers of every level from around the world will be participating in this challenge, led by noted jewelry designer and artist, Brenda Sue Lansdowne of <a href="http://www.bsueboutiques.com/" target="_blank">B'SueBoutiques.com</a>. The best thing about it? We'll not only learn, but we'll have fun, make new friends, and understand more about who we are as jewelry artists.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The challenge will be to build a line of jewelry in our own style. This might sound simple to some ... just slap a few things together that match, and voila ... it's a 'line.' There's really more to it, and it's not quite as easy as it sounds. During our 3-month-long class, we'll be exploring what makes a line cohesive and appealing, production and marketing ideas, and much more. I'm excited to have this opportunity, and you're all welcome to come along with me for the ride! I'll be sharing much more as the challenge begins, and of course will continue to have new designs coming along. I'm up, up, and away ... off and running!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

It's kind of a special one; it's our 31st anniversary on December 31st. I looked all over the internet to see if there was a name for this anniversary, like a 'golden birthday' is celebrated when a person is the same age as the date. Although I couldn't find any official name, my friend Kathleen came up with a great one ... a ROYAL anniversary! That sounds perfect to me. Now where is my tiara .....? It's hard to believe that it's been 31 years since these young kids who didn't even know each other said "I Do." Now we're just two old fogies who don't want to go out in the cold! </span></div>

Music, dancing, good times with good friends, fancy duds and bling, and watching that glittery ball drop down at midnight. I've been thinking of fancy and bling and glittery lately too, but in the jewelry sense, naturally. As you may know, I belong to a group (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/bsueboutiquescreativegroup/" target="_blank">BSue Boutiques Creative Group</a>) online that has monthly jewelry creation challenges, and the theme for December was "metallic, pearl, and crystal." That theme is my favorite, so I dug out some pretties and jumped right in.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The lights and ornaments of the season are my favorite .... maybe the shiny bright things remind me so much of jewelry! The proud Christmas trees wear their holiday finery, and inspire me to create designs that are both natural and 'blingy,' just like them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The holiday season will soon be over, and it'll be time for change. The decorations will come down, and the house readied for spring. In the same way, my worktable will soon be cleared of winter and holiday jewelry components, and readied for new and fun designs. I'll be participating in a 3-month-long jewelry challenge (really more of a class) to build a new line starting in January. More on that soon, but I think it truly will challenge me in many ways ... good ways. It's exciting and scary at the same time, and I'll bring you all along on the journey as I go! </span></div>

I've been interested in pretty jewels since I was very young ... and now it's a dream-come-true that I can make beautiful things too. I've been designing and making art jewelry from brass, polymer clay, glass beads, and other goodies for about 15 years now, and I never get tired of it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a child, I used to cut out the paper jewelry and gem images from mail-order catalogs, and Scotch-tape them to my ears and fingers for my own custom jewelry. I like to think I've come a long way since then ....</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm inspired by many things in my creations .... classic designers for one, like Miriam Haskell. The above brooch was inspired by her wonderful line of jewelry. Nature is also a recurrent theme in my jewelry, and you'll often see floral designs in my work.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In any handmade business, the help and support of other artists is invaluable. That support and much inspiration comes from a jewelry group that I belong to on Facebook. The 'gang' at the B'Sue Boutiques Creative Group </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">( <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bsueboutiquescreativegroup">www.facebook.com/bsueboutiquescreativegroup</a> ) are never-ending sources of friendly help, ideas, and encouragement. My work has grown and evolved greatly through being a part of this group.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Of course, the support and kind comments and encouragement from friends and family are most important to me. I couldn't do it without all of you cheering me on every step of the way! Every little 'Like' or comment on my Facebook page or lovely remark in person brings a big smile to my face, and the encouragement to keep going and make more pretties! My feline assistants and I appreciate it more than you know.</span></span></div>
