Upcycling.

Spring is finally here! Is it me or did this Winter seems so long & dreary?! I think it was compounded by all the chaos in the economy. It just seemed everyone was just trying to hang on and make it through to the light. I hope the light has arrived. It's funny how life twists & turns to put you back on your path without you realizing that you had strayed. I have been worried about upgrading my skills so that I can make more high end fine jewelry when this nice big timeout came along in the economy to make me realize that I can use the skills I have now to help people to embrace the new economy by Upcycling. Upcycling is using some of the items you already have to be combined with some new parts to spiff it up into a whole new piece of fabulous! It so reduces you carbon footprint by using parts already manufactured so there is not the damage to the environment for extraction of the raw materials. A couple of new beads added or a new chain can make it into an up to date piece that is completely unique! Let me help you to do it! Go right now to your jewelry box and find pieces that are broken or out of date. I mean it...go right now! Let's make it into something that you wear & love. It is a great gift idea to pass on a family piece to a new graduate or as a Mother's Day gift. After you have shopped in your own home, go outside and realize what a beautiful place you live in. It is a time of renewal & hope!
