Next week I begin an online jewelry-making course with artist Deryn Mentock. It is called, "The Alchemy of Objects." (See her cool button on my sidebar...) Excited does not begin to describe how I feel about this opportunity!
Ms. Mentock creates lush designs with found objects, most of them vintage. I adore the rhinestones and religious symbols that frequently appear in her work. Whenever I look at her Flickr photostream, I feel like a little girl who has been given permission to rifle through her great-grandma's jewelry box. It thrills me!
Right now, I am preparing by reading and viewing her introductory material. Everything is done so professionally...I think she has thought of everything! Off to check out my tools and supplies list...I may have some shopping to do...darn.
Here is a sneak peek at the course:
