So, I know I don't post here as much as I used to. But I will honestly try to post more..this group is not as active as it used to be, and that makes me sad.
So, what's been going on with me?
I got engaged, for one thing, in November of last year. It will be a couple of years before the wedding, because we are wanting to finish our house before we get married. But I am very happy and excited about it..we've known each other since we were 15, and have been daiting for three years. I absolutely adore him. My engagement ring is not your typical one..it's very delicate, white gold, with a twisted band and miniscule diamonds set into the band. I did not want a large ring with a stone that stuck up, because I knew I would get it caught on everything.
My sister also got engaged in November, funnily enough. However, her wedding is this September. I am the Maid of Honor, and already have my dress and shoes. Originally, I was going to make my jewelry and the bridesmaid's jewelry, but my sister decided that she wants us to wear tri-colored gold necklaces so they co-ordinate with hers. I already had a black hills gold necklace with dainty little leaves, so I'll be wearing that.
I've been working a lot with wire wrapping. Nothing intricate..just basic wrapped loops for now. I haven't gotten quite brave enough yet for the very elaborate wire wrapping. I'd really like to get into PMC, but lack the space right now for a proper set-up. I usually do my wire working and beadweaving on the bed, in front of the tv!
But that's been my past few months, in a nutshell.
Here's what I've been doing, jewelry wise..the album is public, so you should be able to see it without needing a password.
