Today, I participated in the annual spring barn cleanup at Lost River. This is one of the places where I consign my art and jewelry. The coop is run by a bunch of hard-working and amazingly talented artists. It relies on volunteers to do all of the work and keep the coop running. There is also a museum in the downstairs portion of the barn that shows how mountain life was back when the area was first settled.
So, today, I got to help paint a portion of the barn display areas (yes, even though I'm an artist, I still can't help getting paint on my hands, hair, clothing, etc, when I paint!). After helping clean up, I brought in my new items to consign for this season. A few of the jewelry items are shown below.
Above are some of the earrings I make, ranging from about $8-$16. I also make sterling silver earrings, priced from $18 and up.
Above are my beer cap earrings! (Yes, you read it correctly - earrings made out of beer caps). Boy, does my husband like this part of my jewelry-making!
Above are 2 of the necklace and earring sets on display. They are crafted from sterling silver, and feature natural freshwater pearls, south sea shell pearls, and black agate.
This year, I also made clip bookmarks with glass beads. I'm planning to make some other types of bookmarks soon, so check back!Below are some views of the inside of the barn. It looks much better when it's fully organized, though! It officially opens on April 18 this year.
