Inspired by Roses

I have a love hate relationship with roses.

On one hand I'd tell you that they were savage beasts that clawed you up in the garden.

On the other hand they smell and are lovely.

And though I will scowl at anyone who calls my daughter Rose (her name is Rosalie) roses are a part of her name and her life.

But the real truth of all this was I saw a wire wrap artists tutorial making them and had to try! Here's her site: http://blueforestjewellery.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/handmade-monday-wire-roses.html

I Need A Simple Solution

The girls at my husbands work suggested I start making jewelry sets. I started last night but it leads to a complication. You can stick a bracelet into a cute little bag but a set like this needs to lay flat and not move around. In stores they use boxes with foam and tabs and such. I'm not a store but I need to figure out a way to do the same thing simply.

That's something I'm going to work on today, presentation. I'll probably need to head over to the craft store too, don't tell Daniel.

I added this shot so you could see how the necklace hung. I'll let you know how I did.
