(Hmmm, note to self... when my post jumps around like a cat on a hot tin roof, type some headings in a bold font and act like it's organized.)
Plumbing pipe gets a makeover
A couple weeks ago, I started experimenting with foldforming using copper plumbing pipe. That post is here, if you want to see. The original idea was just to play, not to make jewelry, but some of the pieces looked like beads to me. So I went with it and made the set below. The earrings and all the beads on this necklace began life as various-sized plumbing pipe.

A photography tip
If you're an artist (any type of artist, not just jewelry) you might want to check out Time Tank Labs here in Columbus for photography. Their Meghan Kwast shot these great photos for me. If you've been following my blog you've seen the jewelry before, but Meghan is a great find worth sharing.

Blog hours
Where is my Wednesday-post discipline? Out the window for the summer, it seems. Wednesday has been turning into Thursday or Friday, and I hate to be late! So the solution --for now -- is to change the text on my home page to "I post weekly." (hehe, if you can't follow the rules, change them.)

Getting away
Just two days but I'll take it! Looking forward to a little getaway with friends and family this weekend. We're planning to check out Warren Dunes in Michigan... can't wait! Here is a photo I found online. Doesn't that beach look yummy?
