Florida or Chicago?!

So, I've had a lot on my mind recently. I've been trying to get through finals and figure out what to do with myself after graduation. I have currently made plans to head back home and work for Allison Schiller Designs, as well as participate in Summer craft shows. The other day, I was approached by the head of the department and she recommended me for a bench jewelers position for Spectore, in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Now this sounds like a great opportunity. I'm torn as to what to do in this situation. Part of me is really excited, I'm thrilled that I was recommended to begin with, and this would be a great learning opportunity and experience. However, I'm not sure if I'm ready to make the big leap and move to a new state. I was hoping to spend time with my family this Summer and explore the city of Chicago. I guess I just need to start making a list of the pros and cons and figure it out. Hopefully I will make the right decision!

Hello Michigan, here I come?


Alright, back to seriousness. I've been contemplating grad school for awhile now, and I think I have found one I'd Really enjoy. It is called Cranbrook Academy of Art. I feel like Cranbrook would be a refreshing environment. After my four years at SCAD, I need a change and I think Cranbrook, seems like a good environment to continue my studies.

Glamour Your Cross!

So, this afternoon I was informed that I will be making jewelry for my roommate for the rest of my life. She informed me that I will most likely be making something for her children's first communions and other special events. So, not having grown up around many crosses, I decided to do some research on how to make a cross look good, I found this hilarious video on how to glamour your cross! One day if you see blinged out crosses all over America, you can blame me!
