Rocks in my Head

Random thoughts, mostly about jewelry, but sometimes about cats, food, local wildlife, and life in general.

Blog #1 (A creative title if ever there was one)

Well, this has certainly been an adventure.  Since I have never had a blog in my life, I figured I might as well try to be "hip" and "cool" like everybody else on this here interweb and put one on my jewelry page.  Suffice to say, I have NO IDEA what I'm doing.  I'm not even really sure anyone would want to read this schlock I'm writing at the moment, but in order to have a blog, one must make a post, so here it is in all its glory.  That is, if the prevailing technology allows me to publish it.  I predict a lot of operator error in the first few attempts.  Oh, well.  At least my cats tolerate me. 

Please allow me to tell you a bit about what's going on.  Under normal circumstances (if you can call them that), I am a woodwind instrument repair technician specializing in clarinet restoration.  I've been doing that for fifteen years and by all accounts have gotten pretty good at it.  I didn't mean to get into jewelry making.  It just kind of happened.  The true irony in all of this is that I do not wear jewelry all that often.  I don't even have pierced ears.  However, I really enjoy creating things using metal and gemstones and beads.  Most of these subsequent blog posts will be about ongoing projects and what I learn from them.  Some will be shameless self-promotion of pieces I have for sale or art/craft shows I will be exhibiting at.  Some will be about my cats trying to "help" in the shop.  A few will be cranky rants because I'm forty now and cranky rants become a thing when you turn forty.  At any rate, I hope these blogs entertain you, amuse you, educate you, or at the very least kill some time while you're *ahem* powdering your nose.

I am Heather Karlsson, and I approve this message.
