- been playing with creating my own little bezels out of coiled wire. I want to be able to make some little charms that have a similar look to the art charms that have the resin coating but don't want to pay the $5 per little bezel. Cheapness sometimes being the mother of invention I've started to play around with ways to make my own. Not having a ton of success there yet.

- been inspired by the hand stamping some artists are doing now and decided to carve a couple of my own.
-started to play around with stiffening fabric so I can form it around shapes and then use it to stitch to my wire forms.
-stacked buttons and made cute little magnets from them.
-made a really big version of my scribble heart for a customer. Using wire garbage bag ties to keep the shape while I start to wrap and weave it to add dimension turned out to be a great way to work on a larger scale.
