Hope to see you there!

I am at only two Christmas Shows this year.  Many people tell me that if they go to only one Christmas Market on the Island,  this is the one.  It is classy,  full of artisans who actually make their living with their art,  and you can find creative,  unique gifts for everyone you know...and yourself!  

Viking Knit

Here are my latest students from the weekend's viking knit class: Lucy and Heather,  showing off the beautiful bracelets they made!    Lucy wrote:
A note of Thanks!!!  for your fabulous jewellery instruction yesterday in Viking Knit..... it was better than my highest hopes!!  Jill, you make the learning easy and most definitely lots of fun as well, your passion and kind heart shines through.   I am so thrilled with my Silver Viking Knit Bracelet and can't wait to get started creating more.  I can't wait to take many more of your jewellery 'playshops'.

Fresh from Florence!

So many new ideas from Italy....this is some titanium mesh that I bought in Florence from Lily and Tim, at Beaded Lily,  which is located at Via Toscanella 33r   Tim also makes awesome glass beads,  and I will be posting my new creations with those.  After a month off,  I am brimming with inspiration and creativity,  time in the studio is just flying!  Isn't the mesh a touch of renaissance femininity?  Just a note:  Nothing but NOTHING is for sale until end of November...I have to get ready for 2 shows'  worth of inventory.  Just want to show off what I am doing!
