Channeling Valentine's Day

Happy New Year people! I just wanted to check in before spring arrives. This is the time of year we work on new pieces to be professionally photographed for jury applications. I have various works in progress with all sorts of silver & soldering, along with the glass and my handmade glass cabochons. Yet I needed a break from that messy business to just put together something simple with some bold and beautiful beads I've been hanging onto for the right bracelet. Valentine's Day put me in the mood for this. Fun to pick up the artisan stamps and decorate the heart. It's been a while for that pursuit. 
As for shows this coming year -  we did something like 22 juried shows last year, which was really too much for how handmade all of our elements are. And Bill still has a real job too. So this year, I'm applying to fewer and the chips will fall as they may as far as acceptances go. Jewelry is a really saturated category. I'm applying to the ones where customers really showed us the love, and one or two new too. I'm already looking forward for spring and the show season to start, as well as blocks of time to just be.
