It's such a tough call some...

Hey there, Reader! What's your favorite metal? I'm a Leo, and I always have to chuckle when I read about how gold is DEFINITELY my color. 🙄 I've never liked gold or any other yellow-toned metal, for that matter. For the longest time, all I ever wore was silver-toned metals. That is until I started making wire jewelry and I fell head-over-heels in love with copper. Lately though, I've found myself powerfully drawn to all the gorgeous graphic brass jewelry that I see. And it's everywhere! Brass...

Hiya, Reader! Can you believe it's already July? I hope you have plans to enjoy some quality time with loved ones this weekend. And, for my fellow US citizens, have a very happy 4th of July! I've posted this week's video one day early because we'll be celebrating the holiday with Matt's wonderful family tomorrow. I'm dying to see my adorable niece and nephew whom I haven't seen in ages. So, that's what I'll be doing for the rest of this weekend. Here's what's happening behind Door 44 today....

Hey, Reader! As you may recall from last week, I asked you to vote for the designs that you most want to see in the make-along video format. Not surprisingly, the Twig Earrings and Twig Pendant came out on top after all the votes were tallied. These are my most enduringly popular designs. And it just so happens that they're perfect for spring. So, I can't think of a better design for my March Make-Along series! I may even see if I can work a Twig bracelet into that series. I've been wanting...
