My Jewelry Bench

5:06 PM | | Edit Post

I woke up this morning dying to make jewelry,

took one look at my bench and KNEW it had to be cleaned.

Can't imagine why I thought that!!

I have a collection of antique velvet boxes and thought they would look much better on my bench than a bunch of little dishes holding stuff.

Two hours later.....

I celebrated with a fresh piece of black velvet which serves as my work surface.

Tools of the trade - flush cutters, round nose and two flat nose pliers.

And my favorite velvet box, all ready to go!

I'm swooning over your velvet boxes and wee swan studio mascots! Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your lovely studio, Kathy! I; March 9, 2015 at 2:58 PM
Anonymous said...: You know what they say how the work table represents the worker’s mind. Well, a jeweler’s mind is vastly creative: disorganized in a way, but deftly stunning. I really admire your resolve to try and arrange your table, though I assume it’s for the sake of keeping a cool head while making one. Good luck with that!
