This week I'm trying to make sense of the new Blogger format (how am I doing so far?), and wanted to go easy on myself by just sharing some pictures of the details of my most recent designs.
OK, I can see that my photos still aren't centered and the text is wrapping around weird, but at least I figured out how to type in between the pictures. (Special thanks to Glenda of
Dab of This and That for explaining it to me!)
If anyone knows how to center the photos with this new format, I would be very grateful for that mysterious piece of information too! ;)
Providing that I can get my formatting back to normal, I'd also like to try a new feature on my blog...
Since I've noticed that many of my readers are other jewelry designers or those aspiring to try their hand at it, I am planning to offer some simple tutorials.
My idea is to feature one piece of jewelry and explain my design process and how I assembled it. How does that sound? I would love your feedback, ideas and suggestions for what you would like to see!
Of course, first it looks like I will be needing a tutorial on how this new Blogger format works!
Thank you in advance for your help and patience with my formatting issues, and I look forward to your suggestions about some jewelry tutorials! Enjoy your weekend, everyone! :) Robyn
This past weekend I showed my jewelry at a middle school PTA fund-raising luncheon. In the school's library, round dining tables were decked out in various themes by participating moms, including 'Flea Market Chic', 'Eggstravaganza', 'Giants' (we are near San Francisco, after all!), 'Sweet Shoppe' and, bien sur, 'Springtime in Paris'. Here are a few photos of some of my favourite table top displays:

Back in the studio, I've been busy dreaming up some springtime themes myself, including working with some beautiful and very old pendants... an Art Nouveau repousse dance card book, camphor glass basket, lithograph portrait, and a remarkable hand-embroidered heart-shaped scapular, likely from the late 19th century.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Here's wishing everyone a happy weekend filled with spring-like weather! :)
