Welcome to my site, please check out my gallery or one of my 29 (so far) videos.
Amazingly, I finally started on my Etsy store. I have one whole item listed! Hey, it’s a start and at least my son can stop nagging me (daily) to list JUST one item. Well, here it is!
Steve Jobs, in his 2005 Stanford commencement speech, speaks to us all, especially our artist within, with these words:
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart…”
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Goodbye Steve, you will be missed. Thank you.

Here’s me crawling across the finish line in my first ever race. It was a 5K (3.1 miles). Yes, that is a purple tutu I’m wearing. I left a trail of glitter wherever I went. I start training for a 10K in three weeks and am scheduled to run my second 5K in two weeks. Most friends respond with: “WTF are you doing?” I guess the answer is: “stuff that makes me happy”.
I made this in Michael deMeng’s “Pretty Vial Things” class.Other people’s work: (if you see your piece, email me your name and I’ll put the 2 together).
Bottom of my bottle.
Here’s the ring we’re making in my new videos.
We just uploaded our newest video: How to Make A Ring and it’s a project/techniques video on how to make a Polymer Clay “doughnut” ring with an open shank. There are three videos in this project.
Hope you enjoy this series. We are working on our first project video that will be sold on my website. I hope to see it completed soon.
We’ve also created a series of four how-to riveting videos. Topics covered are how to make a basic rivet, flush rivet, fancy rivet and tube rivets.
We just filmed a video on making fancy wire. It’s pretty cool and is out now. My husband’s new ring sports some of the wire covered in this video. Subscribe to keep up on all of my new videos!

Also coming soon: (If I ever find the time) is an Etsy store. I’ve got it but there’s nothin’ in it yet. Anyone who is interested in purchasing any of my jewelry (or saying lovely things) can contact me @ nancy.lt.hamilton@gmail.com.
