Moving Day - Tour My New & Larger Jewelry Studio & Attached She-Shed!

Originally, my jewelry studio was in a 10x10 spare bedroom, part of another bedroom, part of a storage room, and a couple of other spots in our house. Now I’m in a room that’s roughly 12x15…I have a larger window, a concrete floor, a door to the outside, and a lot more space! It’s basically an attached She-shed. My son and I can both work in there at the same time. 😊 And, Buddy the cat has access to his catio & a perch in the window. My name is Barb Macy and I am a jewelry maker and personal trainer.

How I Turn Rocks Into Jewelry

I live in Corvallis, Oregon and I sell my jewelry at our local farmer & artisan market every Saturday. Because I sell in person regularly, I constantly need to replenish my inventory…I am always making jewelry, but hardly ever have time to create new designs and styles. Between April & November, I am in production mode…both for my booth and for my Etsy shop! This week was wide hammered bands for a couple of Etsy orders, and some plain silver bands for my booth!

My Favorite Way To Buy Cabochons For Jewelry - DIY!

While hunting for cabs for jewelry is fun and exciting (& a lot like Christmas 😉), but I also like having stuff cut specifically to my specifications. I can pick out the raw materials, lay out slabs, and have them cut! Tips: • Find a local rock shop or lapidary artist to cut your stones! • Are you a rock hound? Take your rocks to get cut!
