"Fleur" (sold) project 12
I want to share with you all an encouraging comment, and a "thank you", that I received from Mary Hettmansperger, here, about my jewelry challenge and the pieces you all have created:
I want to THANK YOU and all your readers for using my book for this challenge!!! AMAZING and beautiful jewelry! I am SO thrilled that you used my book as your guide and Im totally impressed with all your interpretations! Great job to all... and again... Thanks! Mary Hettmansperger
You hear that? She's totally impressed with all the interpretations. And so am I! This challenge has been so much fun! I'm pretty close to finishing it...I think there are 20 projects and I've finished 12. So, I'll keep going with it and hope you all join me. It's not too late to do a project or two. In the meantime, here are some of the impressive things you all have created during the challenge:

I was lucky enough to meet Mary just recently in Oz, she came to teach over here for a week. I attended Keith Lo Bues workshop, but dropped in to Marys class to check out what they were doing, shes a truly lovely lady and very giving of her time.
