New Year....New Store.....

One of the nice things about opening Woman Creative was that Filigree & More now had a mortar and bricks home. We are now doing business as Creative Journey Studios, and Filigree & More is relocating into its own space. Ellen will be happy to have more workspace in her studio. We are expanding what we are offering and making it easier to see what we have. Donna Stephens (sadly has closed On The Rocks) has sold us some of her displays, so we can show more of our filigree, bezels and beads. We’re delighted to be setting up some classes here with Donna, so the bead community will still have this great resource. People that come in for classes here or over at Atlanta Bead Market can find all sorts of goodies to use in their jewelry.  It's nice to be able to see all the things we carry and be able to discuss how to use some of the more esoteric products. We try to have samples that show the end results. Jimmie Boatwright has made some fantastic seed-beaded pieces using our filigree and polymer pieces. She boggles my mind with her designs and with her speed. We also have plans for Jimmie to teach for us. You will  be able to keep track of the new class opportunities on our website (www.creativejourneystudios.com) and on our new blog (www.creativejourneyart.blogspot.com) and our facebook page. Who needs sleep!
