If there is no stuggle, there is no progress. I'm sort of struggling right now with my jewelery, with not having much of a work space, trying to afford materials, and finding time to sit and create new pieces. But there will be a major pay off in the end, i can feel it. My "taaa daaaa moment will arrive soon enough, with a bedazzling amount of peices! i won't let y'all down

A pre-tea way of displaying jewellery.

Sunburst

My Nanuk, (Grandmother) made me a traditional sunburst parka

This piece i pulled an all nighter for, which i have yet to finish! I was also somewhat highly caffeinated, which helped. It was really exhilarating...i haven't done that in a while. 

I kind of miss my "Vampire" year at Capilano College, where an idea would only come super late in the night, and i'd simply jump out of bed and work till it was time to hop on the bus to school. 

It's crazy how quickly junk accumulate in your desk drawer... anywayz

This one is not the handspun, yet still woven on a loom. I've yet to make one with my handspun wool...but it's coming. This particular one i made for ma good friend Cyril. I tried to make this one fit in with his wardrobe. He's got quite the style.

spinning

i've taken up a new hobbie. Spinning! It's a little addicting. Currently, i'm in the process of spinning a bunch of wool for an upcoming scarf, again for a friend.
