I haven't made anything completely noteworthy in the past few days. I'm getting ready for the Eco-Chic Craftacular, a huge, very fun show on Sat/Sun May 14/15. I'll post more later but follow the link to see what it's all about. So I've spent time making a lot of sterling silver earring wires (eye-crossing boredom), assembling many pairs of simple one-bead gemstone earrings to offer with my other stuff, and organizing things. I was desperate for some organization, believe me. I've also made a new video showing the March One-a-day Jewelry Challenge pieces. See what you think of the video. I love Animoto software :) If you're not local and you're wondering what we've been doing for fun here in Columbus for the past infinity weeks, here you go: Take care and talk to you soon!

Looking for something to do? Interested in the arts here in Columbus, or wondering what kind of local talent we have? The Greater Columbus Arts Council recently re-launched their web site and it's worth book marking: http://www.columbusarts.com .
Events, Orgs, and Artists are the entry links on the page. They are packed with information about what's happening on the Columbus arts scene. The events page contains a great calendar that covers 33 categories and hundreds of events, including things like child friendly, music, sports, theatre, and workshops / classes. The Orgs page lists local Columbus organizations sorted by the same categories, and Artists provides a wonderful and detailed profile page for each participating artist (mine is under Visual Arts), complete with artist statements and portfolio photos. Artists have just begun applying in the past few weeks, but there are quite a few out there already. If you're looking for a great photographer, artwork for your home, a new spring clutch, or want to see an amazing dance performance, browse the local talent on this site. You'll be impressed. Kudos to the Greater Columbus Arts Council for giving us this great portal to the arts in Columbus! Every now and then I'm going to go off topic, ok? We had an ice storm in Columbus overnight, so of course I have to share a couple pics from my yard. Pretty!
Welcome to my blog, SueLacy Wired. For my first post, I'm thinking small and easy. Let's start with a two question self-interview to get at the fundamentals everyone will want to know: How did you pick your blog name? What is your favorite color?
How did you pick your blog name? I love the name SueLacy Wired for a metalsmith's blog. I use a lot of wire. The dictionary says it best: wired [wahyuhrd] --adjective 1. made of wire; consisting of or constructed with wires. 2. strengthened or supported with wires. 3. Slang tense with excitement or anticipation; edgy. 4. connected electronically to one or more computer networks. Really, need I say more? What is your favorite color? I don't have a single favorite color. It's the mix that really takes my breath away. Blue with green; sky, trees, ocean. Individually they are pretty, but together, they are invincible. I think that's a good metaphor for life. What is SueLacy Designs about? OK, I cheated and added a third question. I'm really not good with numbers, anyway. Show Spelled I' I’m a jewelry designer and metalsmith living in Dublin, OH. I most enjoy creating pieces that are completely hand crafted, including basic components like earring wires, chain, clasps, and sometimes the beads. Favorite materials are sterling silver, fine silver, 14k gold, copper, and gemstones. Vintage and up-cycled or recycled materials can be really fun, too. I have four great daughters and an awesome husband. I’m an alumnus of The Ohio State University and a constant student of life and the art of jewelry making. I hope you drop by now and then. Please leave comments of your own, too! Sue |
