Northwest Arkansas Community College Jewelry Class:
Getting Things Done



Nothing like admiring a new creation.  Chains embellished become a beautiful new article to wear, home even!



A collection of jewelry to work with to wear in the coming days.  From pearls to pendants to add to chains, we have a lot of variety--and we made it ourselves, even some of the findings.



Observation of progress.  Everyone can feel the pride we feel as we make new pieces and imagine more to make.  The addition of a few beads can make such a change!  Teacher gets new ideas too.  The tigers eye I am wearing even includes antique pieces originally given to me by my mother in law.  Age in stones is no problem, and often adds just the touch.




Tamara, a beautician is an expert at gluing, and shows pendants she has secured, and earrings that used to be buttons, with glued on backs.  Jewelry is such fun!  We use all our imagination and experience to renew pieces old fashioned--to make them one of our new favorite go to pieces.

Class will last two more weeks, but new ideas will keep us fueled for a long time. Next class will be rings and more complicated 3 or 4 tiered necklaces and earrings to match. This will be the class to showcase our favorites. Name cards should be made creatively to show our best work for pictures to be taken just before noon by Gregg our photographer. The advantage of a large class is to showcase ideas for everyone to transform into items for their own wardrobe.
