Take A Break

We are now, 6 months into 2016.  This is the time of the year, that I review my goals & progress.   I must say, so for, so good.  Woot, Woot!!!

I have learned a lot about metal stamping.  There are many tools that you need to create a stamped bracelet, pendant & stamped tags.  Now let me tell you, once the stamping is completed, now you need to be sure to darken the image that you just stamped.  Oh, my, don't use to much of ink, because if you do, now you need a special polishing pad, to remove the excess ink.  Don't worry about your freshly painted nails, because, now they are a different color.  LOL!!!   As I mentioned earlier, about the different tools, I forgot to tell you about the special brass head hammer that you must need.  Well, who knew that I needed a 2lb. hammer for some of the many stamps that I have added to my tool box.  
​
Did you know that now is a great time of the year to go through your jewelry to see, what you wore a lot and what you bought thinking that you would ware that piece a lot and never did.  Well, it might be time for a Jewelry-makeover.  You might be able to turn that outdated necklace, into a cool bracelet or bracelets that you can wear as a stack set.   

Wishing You A Fabulous June!
