Soutache!

I took a class from Amee K. Sweet-McNamara at White Fox Beads in Knoxville a few weeks ago.  She taught us how to turn soutache and beads into jewelry.  All you need is Ultrasuede, needle, glue, thread, beads, and soutache.  I am hooked!  This stuff is addictive.  I keep creating little swirls and twirls, seeing different color ways and selecting beads in my mind.  This is the result so far.

No Cancer! and a new design

My thyroid was cancer-free!  It was severe Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.  I’m glad it’s gone.

Meanwhile, I’ve finally finished designing and making a bracelet and earrings set for a customer who works at WIVK–the frog–radio station in Knoxville TN.  What do you think?
