learning and sharing

happy new year, people! best wishes to all for a delightful, fruitful, enjoyable year.


i don't know who these people are, but i thought this was pretty funny and appropriate!

i was looking through ETSY today and came upon a jewelry maker who obviously has my book. it was fascinating to me to see! when i wrote these books and designed the projects, i tried to stress that these projects were examples, that the "students" should take these ideas and then make them their own.

but here i found a pair of earrings that were a project in my book, Making Metal Jewelry, and the jewelry maker on ETSY has re-done them and has them up for sale. that is fine, but disappointing. (my photos aren't so hot, because i took them of the book pages!)

now, on the ring i was happy to see she changed up the rivet a little bit and kinda did her own thing.

also on the screen trapped objects. she did a good job of making this her own.

it was just so interesting to know that my book is influencing someone like this! amazing! cool to run across as well.

that's about it for today.
