wow it sure has been a while since i've posted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on this poor neglected blog</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
since getting a new job</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the time i get to spend in my studio has been challenging</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i try to carve out a few hours a week</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to let my creative juices flow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what follows is the reward of that time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
spent in my "happy place"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i just wish it could be more often</div>

can i just say i LOVE pinterest</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all that visual inspiration from so many photos</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it feeds my soul...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it fuels my creating...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's just plain inspiration at one click...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
once i saw this photo of a vintage ziegfeld follies gal</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i just knew she was going to be a future piece of lola jewelry</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i love her feather headress</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and her pretty face</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tw2rRSlz20M/UhOpH2Dts7I/AAAAAAAAGu4/sEigkSp-HhY/s1600/a88642b95975474a613f07fca5f6747e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tw2rRSlz20M/UhOpH2Dts7I/AAAAAAAAGu4/sEigkSp-HhY/s640/a88642b95975474a613f07fca5f6747e.jpg" width="376" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
venturing outside the box of my usual necklaces and cuffs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i decided i wanted her to grace a new addition to the lola line of jewelry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
belt jewelry that is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yes, she ended up in a belt buckle surrounded by turquoise nuggets</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i love the way she turned out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ice resin will be poured inside the bezel to finish this piece</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hNXnBYfqA2k/UhOpPX3B8DI/AAAAAAAAGvA/gVxiSqks7hc/s1600/IMG_1988.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hNXnBYfqA2k/UhOpPX3B8DI/AAAAAAAAGvA/gVxiSqks7hc/s640/IMG_1988.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
another example of where i took my inspiration</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm loving playing with the turquoise color</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it adds to the new cowgirl collection i have been doing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for this necklace i used some vintage silver ball beads i had saved for something special</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0FTgr33qW5k/UhOpSmIlv1I/AAAAAAAAGvI/Ha-WeM9rvBE/s1600/IMG_2002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0FTgr33qW5k/UhOpSmIlv1I/AAAAAAAAGvI/Ha-WeM9rvBE/s640/IMG_2002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then inspiration just took off with all of these....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thank you pinterest</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for my daily dose of inspiration</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and mindless hours spent wasting time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but so worth it!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you may recall me saying last year</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that I would be moving my studio to a "much larger" space in my home</div>

I was in a teeny tiny room</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10' X 10"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and this is a picture of the room on the main level of my home</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that I claimed as my "new" studio space</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after painting the new room a wonderful shade of aqua</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then went about the task of sorting through everything from the other room</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and finding a spot for all the items</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it...was...not...easy...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is more like it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i call this the "creative" corner of the room</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is where I spend most of my time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
coming up with new jewelry creations</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and soldering until the wee hours of the morning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(this is when I'm most productive)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and to say I went a little map crazy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
would be putting it mildly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
let's just say I had a wonderful vintage atlas book</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with all these maps in wonderful colors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

here is the massive bookshelf</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which holds many jars full of my jewelry bits and bobs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and yes, I did spray paint every single jar lid the lovely shade of aqua...</div>

there is a curtain closing off that doorway for a reason</div>

i came across some images of some vintage western cowgirls</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and just knew i wanted to create some pieces with them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i also found a listing on ebay for hair on hide cowhide pieces</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when i received them in the mail there was not only cow hides</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but also some zebra ones</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
these are some of the collaborations of the two together</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i love the way they turned out</div>

lately i have been working with ice resin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i love being able to incorporate the resin into bezels for cuffs and necklaces</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
recently i had etched a lot of metal</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and wanted to make some cuffs and focal pieces for necklaces</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
first i cut the metal up for these cuffs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and whatever metal was left over i used for the necklaces</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
vintage sheet music covers became the background to these cuffs and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some vintage metal bits and bobs as well as religious medals</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
became the centerpieces for these beauties</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ice resin was poured over them to seal everything in to last for years to come</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a little bit of random soldering on the cuff band and around the bezel</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
created this "vintage" look</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.thehuntleyhotel.com/">the huntley hotel</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
there is a place to lay your head down in the lobby as well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
i completely forgot that my giveaway draw</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
here are the names all typed and folded</div>
