Studio Saturday with Jennifer Heynen

Welcome to Studio Saturday! Each week one of our contributors gives you a sneak peek into their studio, creative process or inspirations. We ask a related question of our readers and hope you'll leave comments! As an incentive we offer a free prize each week to bribe you to use that keyboard. The following week we choose a random winner.

Last weeks winner is Rebecca Anderson . Congratulations you've won one (1) of her new Faux Wood Heart Headpins! . Send Cindy an e-mail and she will get it right out to you.

This week we are in the studio of Jennifer Heynen a.k.a. Jennifer Jangles.

Hello, there's a new studio picture this week. I decided I better change over to my new studio and gallery space. Spring is always busy for me and this one is no different. You can see from the photo there is a lot going on.

These are beads drying and waiting to go into the kiln and below are buttons that have just been painted.
Spring is always busy for making beads. My colors are nice and bright so this is when I tend to get more orders. It's also a few months before two really big shows. One is Bead and Button and the other is Quilt Market. Both require a lot of work to be prepared. I am working onn new designs for jewelry, kits, and beads for Bead and Button. I am sewing loads and loads of projects for my Quilt Market booth. I have a big calendar on my wall filled with deadlines and appts., it's quite crazy.

Speaking of designing, here's a knotted necklace I made as a new project. The step by steps can be found on my blog.

What are you working on? Leave me a comment, letting me know and you could win one of my new O pendants.
