Jewelry Classes Via Internet or Local

Hello everyone! So I know most of my followers are jewelry makers but I would still like to offer my skills in teaching jewelry. I am not sure if I have any beginners or just crafty people who would like to learn basic jewelry techniques and beyond. I can do one on one and group classes via the internet or if you are local we can have a class of about 10 people. I think the internet class is so cool since I could teach to people all over the world :)  I can also co-host people so we can interact with one another during the class.

I have some wonderful projects for the classes so just email me or comment here in this blog if you are interested.

Beginner Jewelry Classes at reasonable price.

P.S. I know offer repair of your genuine pearl necklace. Most jewelers call it restringing. Most genuine pearl necklaces are knotted and tend to stretch with time. It depends on the wearing habits. Silk Cord is used for restringing genuine pearls. I do offer repairs of clasps and also offer restringing with out the knots. I usually have a about 4 day turn around or less in special occasions. Please email me or message me here on facebook for details. Restringing is priced by inch and per knot.
dymnddesign@sbcglobal.net I can also redesign a necklace if you so desire.

Have a wonderful day everyone and please read my blogs below and give me some good stories of your nostalgia!!!! pretty please lol ; see previous post

Nostalgia - Finding Vintage items right in your home.

Hello everyone! Ok so today I wanted to talk about found objects. Last week I did a thorough cleaning. I found 2 little canisters in my cupboard. They contained some goodies that I just had to share. Don't ask me why these two little canisters were not packed away in a closet. :) . I had fun looking over them. I found my mom's button collection and her charm bracelet! I have always loved her button collection and now I suspect I had that canister handy for a future project. Now that I think of it I should make a mixed media piece with all the buttons and paints and stuff on a canvas lol.

The charm bracelet is adorable. She has many charms. I told my sister about the charm bracelet and I am now passing it to her for a keepsake. My sister has a wonderful charm bracelet with many charms. Maybe I can get her to send me a picture of it to post to this blog.

The button collections speaks for itself. My mom used to wear a satin jacket (70's style) and she changed her buttons every few days. 

Ok so I am hoping I will get some stories of your charm bracelet and maybe describe some of your favorite charms. Share your story of any found objects in your home while cleaning and especially if they are vintage or passed down from your family.

Comment below share your story about a charm bracelet or some other little treasure you have found while cleaning, packing or unpacking.

Mom's bracelet

   this is my bracelet. I didn't really colllect many charms :)

Just Chatting up with my peeps

Hey everyone. Well today I have decided to paint again. I haven't painted in over a year. I find that I have to be really inspired to paint. I really enjoy making jewelry so I have been focusing on new techniques. As an artist I like to jump around with many techniques while making jewelry. I also think I need to change mediums every once in a while to keep the creativity flowing :) . So today i will start a new painting. I have 2 days to work on it so I will make this blog short. I am now thinking of what I would like to paint. I usually have a vision of what I would like to paint but today my mind is a bit blank.

Hmm I think that is all for now.

If you have any topics that you would like to see on my blog please, please message me or comment here. If you are not a part of Blogger it is easy to sign up. I also encourage you to start your own blog and write about your passions in life. mmm that might just give me an idea for my painting today; Passion
Oh and to all my artists out there start a new project today and send me pictures when you finish the product. Maybe base your piece of art on Passion! yesssss I can see it now purples and yellows ooooh la laa llaalalalal lol ok now I am just being silly.
Oh the wheels are a turning now hee hee.

Good day all :) 

Looking for a LIFE CHANGE

  Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to write a blog today, well actually I have been wanting to write a blog for weeks now and just can't seem to find a good topic. Well I figured I would just write what comes to mind. I would like to share things in my blog that are personal but I figured I would go on into a rant and no one wants to really read that kind of drama do they? I know artists and creative people don't like drama to much. I feel like drama drains you of all your good energy. I know I grow more impatient each year with drama and all that happens in life when people try to drag you down. I call them energy vampires :). They suck the positive energy out of you, since they have none of their own. anyway...

  So I am looking for inspiration as always in my life to create jewelry and paint. I often look at other artists in history for inspiration but I lean towards more modern things. It is really hard for me to go back and forth between mediums because I am often stuck to one and seem to be better at making jewelry. I love painting but jewelry, I think gives me more satisfaction, oh maybe that is what I like most instant gratification. I should work on changing my outlook on instant gratification. I must strive towards more valuable things that take more time to create. I do get upset when people who do not create don't realize the time, heart and soul that goes into creating any kind of art.

  I have always tried to see the positive side of things but sometimes I get clouded. I am in a time right now where I need to make a huge change and live my life they way I should be and not how I HAVE to.
I have been working in an office as an accounting clerk for the last ten years and I just know that it is not where I should be. I need to have a job that is creative. I know I have the gift of creating beautiful things and making someone's life a little better with my art. I can no longer deal with sitting in a cubicle all day and constantly daydreaming of what my life should be. So I say to all of you who might feel the same, go out there and find your niche!!!!! Well that is all I have to say now.

Love you peeps for reading.
Hope you can comment and give me some advice. I am determined to manifest my desired destiny! lol
