Jewelry Art

I found out that I will be moving to the Sellwood area of Portland in a few months! I am really excited to be in a neighborhood that has more community like Sellwood does. I will also be in walking distance from the post office and library, two places I usually frequent on more than a bi-weekly basis!

I've been trying to snap pictures of the house I'm in now when I can. This is the first place I've lived in apart from the house I grew up in and college dorms. It has its problems, but will always hold a special place in my heart, frequently-flooding laundry room, bedroom in dingy basement, furnace in bedroom and all!

I'm pretty happy with the jewelry displays I created when I moved in here last summer.


I bought open-backed picture frames from Goodwill and attached wire hooks that I made with 14 gauge copper wire to hang my jewelry from. I then used a staple gun to attach ribbon so that the frames would have a way to hang. The best part is that when I move, it will be easy to take these with me to my new house!
