Continuously learning!

In honor of Saint Patrick's Day I really wanted to make a piece of jewelry with a Celtic feel. So I spent time searching through Pinterest to come up with some ideas.
My first attempt failed. The wire I chose to use was too thin and broke when I hammered it out. But I really wanted to use the copper color. I didn't have a thicker gauge, so I persevered with what I had on hand. My second attempt was a success but I hope in the future to purchase a thicker gauge to make another attempt.
Attempt # 1 hammering did it in.

Attempt #2 I really like how it turned out, but it still feels too delicate.


Jeff, my dear husband, also joined me in creating that night and started on his new heart creation.
Currently he is thinking through what to add to the heart.
In a previous post I mentioned how for our anniversary Jeff created a heart for me. 
But he also tried a first attempt before he came up with the creation he gave me.

Here is his first attempt.

Here are two other creations that I have made as attempts for gifts for others, but wasn't completely satisfied with them.
I really like the copper wire but have not figured out which beads I like with it.


I liked how this one turned out but I just never went further with this pendant.

What have you been creating lately? What inspires you? I would love to see what others are creating, please share links in the comments.
