On the loom ...

Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love ...

Welcome to 2013!  This is the year of the challenge ... I have so many new things I want to try - off loom/free form projects - looming projects, earrings, pendants, metal clay projects, resin, tatting - the list goes on.  I have signed up for a few bead challenges that are taking place within some of the wonderful bead groups that I am a member.  But most importantly - I am challenging myself to come up with some new designs on the loom.


So what are your challenges this year - love to hear your thoughts - add what you will be doing to the comments section  :)

To start the year - here is a teaser of a cuff that is currently underway ...

Firey Soul

"Friends are born, not made .... "  Henry B Adams

As artists we often talk about what inspires us to create - for me it is often a moment that will catch my heart, or the person I am creating for. This cuff was created for someone who epitomises "firey soul" - the colour is one she wears well - the fire opal swarovski crystals reflect her passion.  Life has not been easy, she has had her share of hard times but you can be always guaranteed of a joke at the tip of her tounge and a warm hug from her embrace ... this cuff is for Pam  ❤

Design:  Caron for Caron Michelle
Technique:  Erin Simonetti
