I've been making jewelry for some Christmas gifts and I'd love to show them to you but that would give away the surprise. Honestly there's not too much technique involved with these gifts. I've strung several necklaces and made matching earrings for each necklace. For these necklaces I've used a combination of various stones and strung them on flexible beading wire to approximately a 20 inch length. I've used Jade, Jasper, Turquoise, Tourmaline and Rhodonite.
Now that the craft fairs are over I've also gone back to my lampwork. Right now just a few simple designs to get back in the swing of things. Lampwork is a weekend or holiday only thing for me. Evenings after work just don't allow enough time to play.
Also, in celebration of the Christmas season I've updated my ArtFire shop to give free shipping to addresses in the United States. Since I ship everything priority mail purchases should reach their destination in a week or less. There are a few new items in the shop so if you haven't looked lately you might find something you just can't live without or something that would be a perfect gift for someone on your list.
