CWJs...'Year of Jewelry' 2007

test post wire rings

Here is my first post. I better test before I do it for real!

These are four wire rings I made with copper wire and artistic wire.

Just testing

I'm also unsure of how this works.  I have no idea of how to post pics or even to get the themes.  I guess we'll get filled in.  I tried, for the last quarter, and then my computer crashed.  It never hurts to learn new things.  I'm about to try to burning a CD, for the first time.  I much prefer working with tools where I can see all the parts of them.

By the way, I need to know what to do, to get back here, so I can post.  Is there a a 'questions answered' page for those of us who are competent, on the computer?

Thanks,

Cairenn, the Howling Artist

Confused

OK, I just started. The CWJ forums frighten me to my very soul, there's no info on the YOJ page, and nobody's mentioned it here, but I'm not sure what to do next. I'd like to try the themes, but the Themes page doesn't include this quarter.

Anyone?

Just checking in!!

Yay!!!

Testing

Wow! I'm so excited about all of this. This is my first time ever blogging. I hope I don't mess up to much.

Testing...

Hi everyone, just testing - can't wait to get started!!

Testing! Y'know, 1, 2, 3

Ok, exciting! Signed up for a whole year. Here goes!

Just making sure I can upload pics.  I'll make a lightbox to deal with the quality of them later this week :-)

testing, testing

Hello from rainy UK!

Hello! I've been looking at the YOJ on and off for the last 3 months and loved what I saw, so when I realised I could sign up for the next quarter I jumped at the chance! I live on the south coast of England, and it's been raining here virtually non-stop for DAYS!

I've been making jewellery for years, selling it for about 4 years and teaching classes (mainly wirework and macrame with a bit of polymer clay thrown in for good measure) for about 4 years I think. I also contribute to the UK's Bead magazine. The necklace below was made using sterling silver wire, aquamarine beads and a beautiful lampwork bead by Isabelle Anderson.
