I've actually been accomplishing quite a few things since I decided to take a break from YOJP. ~Not all jewelry related... just things I want to accomplish☺ I used a tutorial for this necklace (I changed it slightly from the instructions) I loved the way it looked but it wore really funky. The only way this was going to lay right would be if it was a choker. Didn't like that..... So I reworked it☺ Much happier now. It wears really nice now. Very comfortable☺ And I got to use one of my hoarded  JulsBeads focal beads☺ Win ~ Win! ☺

This was my fourth year participating in The Year of Jewelry Project I have one more project to submit for this year and I will have completed all 52 weeks of all 4 of those years☺ Some years I have been caught up almost all of the year And other years I have had to play catch-up for 6 to 8 weeks. But I have successfully FINISHED at least 52 pieces  and photographed and posted them. I am pretty proud of myself for actually being able to create pieces even when I wasn't really "feeling it" or being super busy with other things. But I felt it was a commitment I had made,  even if it was really just to myself, and I was determined to finish what I started☺ I have explored a lot of different techniques and mediums, I have improved a lot in several of them☺ and I have gotten much better at the photographing of the pieces. At least I think I have☺ I did not sign up to participate in the project for 2017. I seem to have a lot less ...

I may have mentioned before  that I pretty much suck at that thing known as social media☺ These last few weeks haven't seen any noticeable improvement  to that suck-age:~( And in my last post I kinda sorta promised to be a little more chatty this time around aaaaaaaaaannnndd....... I lied. This is all I have for you today. At least I made a couple of collages instead of inundating you with a hundred bazzillion pictures. Really just seven, but that can seem like a lot. No? If you want to see bigger individual pics you can go here . There are some really nice pieces by some very talented  jewelry artists in The Year of Jewelry Project I'm not making any promises this time but maybe I'll actually have something to chat about next time and maybe next time will be sooner than  2 months from now.
