Year of Jewelry ~ Week 32

I've been so busy this summer with the new garden

(who knew we would have record temps and more sunshine

 than I have seen in any one summer I have spent in Alaska since moving here in 1992.

Two hours of watering. Everything. Every. Single. Day.

Not including the grass☺)

that I haven't had nearly as much time to spend "making"

as I would like.

Now that the rainy season is here, I feel like I have a little more free time

while I wait for "harvest time".

With fall quickly approaching it will be time to start canning all of the 

goodies I have been able to grow this year.

I'll post more about that when the time comes.

For now I hope to spend more of my time creating.

Hopefully accomplishing more than 'just' the one piece of jewelry per week

that I committed to for The Year of Jewelry Project.

I am almost completely caught up on those postings though☺

Here is Week 32

I am seriously in love with viking knit!

It's actually kind of relaxing, you can work on it while watching TV

in the evenings and not have to concentrate too hard.

It's also very forgiving for those of us who are just learning.

The draw plate hides many imperfections☺

This bracelet was made using 24g antique brass wire for the knit,

16g for the end caps and clasp and a gorgeous

JulsBeads lampwork "Bone"

with some wire wrapped pearls and crystals thrown in for the heck of it.

P.S. If you'd like to get you hands on some gorgeous lampwork

beads like that bone there, go here,

Juli is having a sale ~ 40% off until Tuesday!

Ok, now I am off to finish my project for Week 33,

which was due yesterday☺

so I can start my new project for this week.

I am determined to post that one on time before next Saturday!
