So I have a job again, after a year unemployed. It's a contract job for the next 6-8 months, so I will be looking again soon. But at least I have employment.

I don't have anything to show for it on dA, but I have spent much of my time at home exploring an interest in jewelry and beading. I've done stringing, earrings, beaded links, and stretch bracelets.

I also began wire wrapping vintage marbles, thinking this might be a niche to pursue. This led to stained glass jewelry. To my surprise, I like working with stained glass to make pendants.

Although I have a job, I plan to spend my spare time working on the stained glass angle. I have an account on Etsy ready for selling these things when I get that far. My family will probably all get stained glass ornaments for Christmas too.
