Follow My Jewelry Blog

I love to write. I actually make a little money at it. I love making handcrafted jewelry and I make a little money at that too. Key word here is LITTLE. Need to make that word change to something bigger, better and more encouraging to my income. This is an invitation for those of you who would enjoy giving me some help.
Come read my blog. Post your comments below and I will even encourage positive criticism.
Yes, by listening to you, I can learn how to better do what I do. So won't you lend me an eye? Give me some input and help me do what I do best, BETTER???? On that note, how about some feedback on one of my latest jewelry creations? Take a look and leave your constructive critiques in a post on this page.

Calling This Home


The vote is in and all hands agree. The official blog site for Adrift Art Studio and Handcrafted Jewelry USA is here and now! Isn't this exciting?

We made it official and are sticking with this site. Informative publications such as "how to" articles and jewelry and art information will all be published on HubPages.com just as it has been in the past. What we are saying good bye to are the sites that have served their purpose for the time. Moving forward, up and on we intend to give full attention to this blog.

That means all insights, suggestions, events and shares of interesting materials will be afforded here at the official Handcrafted Jewelry USA blog.
