I am beyond thrilled to share this completed work - not because I am especially in love with it or anything, but because I started it in October 2012.  I worked at it really hard for a bit but my desire to finish sizzled.  For the past 5 months or so, I have only worked on it one weekend each month at a festival I attend.  I am happy to say that yesterday was it's last appearance

I have been so busy with other projects lately that I haven't been working much on wall art, but a personal request wooed me to set my other work aside and make this little 5x7.  It will be given as a gift to a mother who has spent much time and has much love for the island of Kauai.  I was asked to incorporate palm trees, ocean, beach, sun and a woman watching the scene.  For the little space I had to get it all in - I think it turned out pretty well.  Hope you all like it!

I am currently obsessed with geometric jewelry - so I decided to take a stab at making my own.  This is the first necklace I designed.  Pretty sure I will be making more along this line in the near future

I have been having so much fun this week playing around with some new techniques in my version of quilling - and while doing so, made this cute little pendant that I turned into a necklace using hemp cord.  It's pretty fun and I am sure to be making more of these babies

Not my typical kind of project... but I was asked by a friend to make this cross pendant for her pastor.  It was a challenge actually - which of course I love.  I still have to outfit it with the hardware and leather cord, but I think it turned out okay.

I have been making quilled paper earrings for a few years now but haven't really expanded much into other kinds of jewelry until lately.  It has been so much fun coming up with new designs and the kind responses I have gotten from festival goers has spurred me on a great deal.  This mod design is pretty simple in design and to make.  I have had fun wearing it about town and thought I'd share it with you.  If you'd like to take a roll at making it, I made a free tutorial of the pattern too. Hope you like it!

I have been experimenting a lot lately with some new techniques and things to shake things up a bit in my quilling design world.  While doing so, I made these two pendants with the intention of making them into necklaces.  They are pretty big.  The lotus is actually quite huge.  I really like them though.  Hope you do too!

My partners just posted these, so I can share them as well.  I only made 2 this month but they were o-so-fun to make.  Hope you like them.

I have had this design in my head for ages but finally got around to making it this evening.  I really like how it worked out.  I am going to make a few more versions this next week and create a tutorial for it eventually.  I think I will finish this one off and make it into a necklace.

*added another photo on page 3 that shows this design made into a necklace.

I love, love, love designing paper jewelry.  As each new season approaches, I get the itch and design a new collection of sorts.  Here are a few that I have come up with over the past couple of days.  I'd love to know what you all think.  I will get to debut them in person at an art festival I am participating in over Easter weekend, but I am excited to show them to you all now
