Holly smokes what have I been though in the last two weeks! Trying to get this collection done in time might still happen, still on course, but man!

You will not believe this, I still don’t believe it. I broke my ankle (!) biking two weeks ago. At first I thought it was just a sprained ankle so didn’t go to the emergency room. This was Saturday . On Monday, when the “sprain” was not getting any better, I went to see a doctor, who took an x ray and informed me “young lady, your ankle is fractured”. Fractured ?!?! And further more “I recommend surgery, immediately”. Surgery?!  Immediately ?! Me?! What in the world has happened here?

Now I am in recovery. Good people are taking care of me :)  Fortunately, as I explained before, the designing work on the new collection is mostly done on the computer. I don’t have to be hopping around from one place to another (I have actually gotten pretty good at hopping around, walking though is a different story all together). So when I am not sleeping, I have been able to get the work done, a little slower but it’s going!

The concept of the collection is “crochet drawing”. I wanted to see what I can do! If I can crochet it, can I draw it? And if I can, can I draw it on a graphics tablet using a digital pen?

The answer is a resounding YES!!! I am attaching a picture an UNFINISHED oval and its drawing for you to check it out. Drawing on right, actual metal part on left. Even with a broken leg, I was so ecstatic to see them come to life!

The next step is to plate the parts, that are made of a base metal, with gold, silver and rose gold. Then, I can put together a fab new jewelry collection! My blog readers will also get a sneak preview to the collection once it’s actually done in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!
