have a healthy weekend 

That's an awesome hobby! What kinds do you make? 

i make different kinds, yesterday i made a few layered necklaces with glass beads and pendants. i started a layered floating glass bead necklace but i think it will take a while to finish it. i like to use glass a lot, but use shell, copper, hemp, silk, lace, whatever tickles my fancy. i am definitely self taught, i was given cases of beads, tools, etc. years ago and decided to teach myself to make things that i like instead of spending a bunch on jewelry from the store. i really love to paint, sketch, sew, make concrete sculptures, a little bit of everything! your an artist also? you've mentioned making molds, right? 

That sounds awesome. I have one silver chain, and I change the pendant that I wear with it. I love glass pendants, but also have turquoise, moon stone, shell, anything that peaks my curiosity. I love to paint and to draw, I do everything from original art, to pet portraits, and tattoo design, but I also will try any medium (my fave is soft chalk pastels, I LOVE the blending of colours. I dabble in scrap booking but it takes forever because I am always painting or drawing on the pages. Molds? Well I was experimenting with something not too long ago, but need to find better materials. Right now so busy with work and life, that the art is taking a step back. I am currently working on a my little pony mural in my step daughters room...she loves it!
