You may recall that I posted a photo from The Bead and Button show of my class with Barb Switzer called Woven Mariposa. Here’s that photo again:
The class was all about wire work. We learned to form the butterfly shape using several gauges of silver wire and a bit about how to make filagree (the curly sections you see in the wings). Well, I finished up the necklace the other night:
I put it on a rubber necklace (one of my new favorite things) with the clasp in the front. You can see it in the photo on the upper right. I really like the way it turned out. I’ve worn it for the past two days (and I’m really not much of a girly girl).
Finally, I have a whole bunch of stuff I have to keep under wraps: some exciting scrappy news (which I hope to share very soon), a fabulous quilt using a zillion fun new mixed media techniques (which I have to keep under wraps until I see whether or not it’s accepted into an exhibit), and some fantastic new pages and projects (which have to stay quiet for a bit as well). So, we’ll have to leave it at that teaser for now.
Thanks for stopping by!
The detail on that butterfly is so incredible! Can’t wait to hear the new scrappy news:)

I’m amazed about two things: 1) You have time to start and complete all these projects, and 2) You are turning into quite the scrap celebrity and are still so accessible. You’re amazing Julie!
