Flex Shaft

For all my metalsmithing friends the the flex shaft is the best tool and can perform so many functions. I've attached an article. I have the Grobet. http://www.jewelrymakingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2013/01/30/intro-to-the-flex-shaft-what-can-it-do-for-you.aspx

It's All About the Collar!

You can wear a classic button down collar shirt under a round-neck sweater, shirtdress or anything that has a rounded collar; just add a great statement necklace which lays right around the collar area!

Style & Self-Expression

Make every outfit something that reflects you and your personality. Yes, you can wear navy and black together! Brown and black are good too. The textures should be distinct, e.g. shiny and soft. Bold accessories help anchor lively patterns like a bold color purse. Winter white is still in; try layering, wear dark tights for example. If wearing a bold colored dress, just keep accessories to a minimum. The necklace that I designed above can be worn with any color outfit all year round even metallics or under a blazer for a casual office look.

I now have a store on Etsy.com where artists sell their handmade items!  It is a great site to find some wonderful artists and their works. Etsy covers all of the arts. I am very into making metalsmithing jewelry right now. It is my new passion but we all know that all things jewelry is my passion! My featured pendant is

The Pure Silver Metal Clay With Swirl Pattern, Copper & Brass Patterned Pendant Soldered Together With Cultured Pearl Accent 
This pendant has a very large open bail in the back so you can slide this pendant onto any Omega, chain, rope or I can create a copper  hammered neckwire to fit your neck! The picture below is a wider shot of the neckwire and pendant.

Mixed metal jewelry is so in style now, however, it seems to be a classic trend. If you wish to purchase this pendant you can go to my website store at http://www.youniquedesignsjewels.com/ or my Etsy Store at:
