I can't even begin to say how excited I am to have been accepted into the Wire Artisans Guild on Etsy. Jumping up and down excited. The breathtaking cuff (crocheted wire... ever tried that? It's hellishly difficult to work with) above is just one tiny example of the amazing talent encompassed in this team. Seriously... go look at the Flickr group. Almost everything is just jaw-dropping.
I've been chewing nails all month because I ogle that Flickr stream on a regular basis, and I want to be like them when I grow up. They were only taking 10 of 40 applicants (although it ended up being 13). I dunno how I managed to squeak in when I look at the others' work (list is on the team Etsy shop, also worth a look) but I am humbled, honored, and SO excited. Thanks guys!
Oh! Also on a wire note, I'm thinking I'm going to sign up for Creative Wire Jewelry's Year of Jewelry whenever their next quarterly signup date is. They have a theme every week to inspire your creations and I just love browsing the blog. Check it out. There will be more here when I get around to my first theme creation, for both the Guild and YOJ.
Time to build up the finger calluses some more.

I can't believe that is made of wire. It looks like lace! Gorgeous.
