Princess Chocolatier emerged from reviewing the molecular structure of Theobromine.

I’ve just finished loading my new creations to Etsy. It’s always fun to describe my pieces, and let them go out into the world to make others happy.

As I wrote my Maraviglia pendant descriptions, I had a flashback to the 80s with this particular piece, which is now on Etsy.

Since I received my very own anvil on my birthday I’ve been playing with wire. It’s been a lot of fun to practice the techniques taught by Crystal Neubauer in April.  I’ve played wordgames with my tools: “It’s hammertime!,†“stop being so wirey,†“let’s bend over backwards.†(Yeah, I can be a nerd sometimes).
