FEST: Interview with Jorgensen Studio

There is also a giveaway on the FEST blog this month from Aquarian Bath for handmade soap.
I absolutely adore handmade soap. I have been using it exclusively for over a year now as a body soap and also as a shampoo. I cannot tell you how much better my hair and scalp are - the difference is amazing.
Handmade soap smells fabulous too. Not the traditional soapy smell but anything you like.
I love to buy soap from a new maker and have in my bathroom right now some made of beer (yes beer) and some divine smelling pineapple brulee'. Whatever you scent preference you can find your scent in handmade soap.

Go enter the Fest giveaway and try handmade soap. Once you do you'll never go back to commercial soap again.

Anatomy of a Tapered Bezel

I use mostly bezel settings in my work. I make my rings so that the bezel is flush with the band and does not sit atop of it for a more integrated look. Having the bezel setting taper allows for a bigger stone to be set while still allowing the bands to sit closer together for stacking rings. Being mostly self taught, I looked to the google first to see if I could find a tutorial on how to make these types of bezels. There were none to be found. I did find a rather heavy bezel block that is used to make these tapered bezels and bought it, but alas, it did not come with instructions. After many failed attempts to make a cylinder turn into a cone, I figured I must be doing something horribly wrong. Wouldn't you know it, there was math involved, much to my dismay. I am going to show you the process I have come to for making this little tapered bezel step by step. Except for the math part ( you will need that to make your template), it is simple. I did come across this nifty cone ca

Mother's Day Gift Guide 8 Things Mom would Really Love Mother's Day is fast approaching. If you are the kid that runs into CVS before brunch every year for a card and a bunch of flowers that are less than fresh, let me help you out with a few ideas that she will really love. Most are affordable and some can even be done last minute.  1. Your Time:  Schedule a special day for you and her to spend some time together. It could be mani/pedis at the spa. A trip to her favorite museum or art event. Even a class that you can do together. "Plant nights" are a cute thing that are popping up across the country where you spend the evening making a terrarium to take home. If plants aren't her thing how about a night of wine and painting? Those things are everywhere.    2. Plants  Not the dying ones for the grocery store or the pharmacy chain. Have one of these super adorable kits shipped to her - we don't all live close enough to do plant night togeth

What's Trending in Wedding Style Right Now?  What are the top trends that brides are looking for and dreaming about? Pinterest is always a good place to look to see what people are loving at the moment. Its ultra current and its fun to look at.  Trend #1 Succulents. Oh my these beauties have taken over. Everything from bouquets to favors and decor for the big day. I have to agree the soft colors and rustic style are so in tune with brides sentiments these days.  Less formal and more personalized is the name of the game.   Trend #2 Farmhouse Rustic.  Casual, comfortable, homey. Vintage pieces mixed with wood and old metal. Texture is big and the colors are muted. Do you see yourself dancing the night away in an old barn, exchanging vows in a forest clearing, or just surrounding yourself with shabby chic and homemade goodness?     Farmhouse can be as rustic or as classic as you want it to be. Vintage antiques create a sweet backdrop for
