idle hands

i can't sit for very long, i get "ants in my pants"
i've never had a "sit down" job, so if i do sit

i have to have something to do

watching TV or just sitting on my deck

i'm usually twisting wire, crocheting, or some other work like making jewelry

i took a class a few years ago at AU with Richard Salley and loved it!

i started out working with galvanized steel

and then combining beads and now just beads

i can't "forge" the metal any more

i need an assistant!

that would be wonderful, someone to do all the things my body won't let me

thank god my eyes still work, knock on wood!

i made my first beaded bracelet a few weeks ago,

since then I've made 15 and have 6 on the go,

plus I started making earrings by request and have over 50 pairs made

ineed a break so i think i will work on some more backgrounds!
