Hope For the Holidays, Component Class, and The Garlic Press!

We'll be setting up for the Hope Christmas show in Springfield, IL, this weekend.  The Hope Presbyterian Church does a great job hosting this small show and treats the artists with outstanding care.  The church is just one block east of White Oaks Mall at 2211 Wabash Ave, Springfield, IL.  They will be raffling baskets filled with unique items from the artists to support the church's International Mission Fund, plus speciality baskets in honor of Jan Hedburg to support the APL of Springfield.

On November 10th, another Bronzclay class is scheduled at the Off the Wall Gallery, 318 N.Main St. Bloomington, IL.  This class is specifically about making components needed for jewelry making, such as links, beads, hollow beads, clasps, dangles, etc.  Above is a photo of an older pendant using links and dangles.  One always needs a little something extra to add to the design and make it "pop"! 

Last week I took in a bunch of new pieces to The Garlic Press in uptown Normal.  Sarah now has many in her store in the jewelry case, such as the silver necklace shown below:

But best of all, I will be having a "Trunk Show" there at The Garlic Press on December 1st, 11am to 3 pm.  A great time for last minute Christmas shopping!
