I am currently in high gear, or as my wonderful husband says "the sweatshop is up and running."  I am going thru my stash of beads so fast I can't wait for the show next Sunday to stock back up.  My new goal is to have 400 pieces of available jewelry for my next 3 shows.  Ambitious, but I think I can do it.  I am also getting ready to start a new blog area featuring other artists on the web.  So yes, I have a lot of irons in the fire.

I have created more altered art pendants and charms to be used in my jewelry.  I am finding so many wonderful resources on the web.  I get many vintage type images from a group on Flickr.  You need to be a member of this group but it is great Collage Images. Google images is always an interesting source and I just recently stumbled on a site called Polyvore.

Polyvore is very interesting.  You can create your own collage images using a variety of sources.  I can spend hours just looking at the work already on the site, and I haven't even tried to make my own yet.   Here are some pictures of my recent creations:

All these pieces are available on Art Fire
