The Year of Jewelry Project 2011

The Creative Wire Jewelry Forum is once again hosting The Year of Jewelry Project.  This year the invitation went out on social media as well as the forum, and the response has been tremendous!

The basic concept of the project is “one piece, per week, for a year”.  The participants, who range from newbies to seasoned professionals, set their own goals in terms of what they want to produce and what techniques they want to focus on, but they commit to producing one piece of jewelry each week.

I have participated in this project on and off since its inception in 2004.  Last year, I ended up dropping out after the first quarter because I became overwhelmed by other commitments.  This year, given that I’m doing a studio tour at the end of April, I have added incentive to stay focused.
