As I have mentioned before I am currently unemployed. Even though I am one of the lucky ones, I have state and union unemployment available to me, it still gets to me. My mood has not been all that great, it does not help matters none that we have had so many rainy days here in the Midwest lately. When I first was laid off I was working on my beaded jewelry in and effort to keep my mood up and with the thought of selling it as a way to make some money. Unfortunately I have not really been doing much with that either, I just was giving in to the blah feeling of it all.

In an effort to break out of that mood, I have been taking pictures of the jewelry that I do have made. (even though I do not like the quality the camera gives me, that is for another post). Last night I started working on editing for upload. I do not have much done yet, but it is a start.

I just uploaded some pictures of one piece that I have repaired. I showed the piece to both WPG and Country by Design when I got to meet them, but unfortunately it was broken at that time. So I wanted to post that one first so that they could see how I repaired it.

The necklace has a glass heart pendant and when I originally made it the pendant had a glass loop on it for suspending it from the necklace itself, but I broke it when I was storing it away to take with me on vacation. I have since repaired it using some copper wire to make a cage and loop for the pendant. I will probably not sell this item because even though I have filed down the sharp edges of the glass where the loop broke off of the heart, I do not want to take the chance that I missed anything. I am not sure what I will do with it now.
