Lightning scribles



Lightning Scribles - silver, bloodstone, and vintage crystal, $20

Having fun with the pendants, but I left most of the good stones for it at the other place. Oh well. More next week.

Earrings




Two pairs of earrings, the gold ones are glass and jet, and the others are silver and glass. $15 a piece.

A note about earrings - I prefer the kidney backs or leverbacks because they don't fall out. If you prefer hooks, let me know and I can change these out.

Oak, Ash, and Thorn



Oak, Ash, and Thorn is one of the few pieces I'll ever do in copper, but the design called to me. Bloodstone and copper, $20

The World is Born of Flame



All glass and gold, The World is Born of Flame is about 7.5" long, so mostly for those with smaller wrists. $25

I had fun with this- Bracelets feel like an abbreviated necklace and don't take as much mental/emotional effort. It's like they're cheating.

The Colors of March at Home



The colors of march at home- Gold and green and sunbeams coming in through the windows. I made this around Christmas because I needed to work with the green an remember that spring will in fact come someday. Since I'm where I grew up this weekend (and where i'd left the necklace), it's time to add this one to the collection.

Glass and malachite on gold chain and wire. 19" and $40.

Of Time, Memories, and Unknown Legacies


Also left with my parents at Christmas was this piece in alabaster, agate, and smoky quartz (at best guess). My grandmother left me these strings of stones that she brought back from Bangkok in the 50s, and this was the first piece made of the wealth. 24-26" or so, I don't know where my tape is, but long. With some weight to it. $45

Rosaries




Here we have Fires of the Soul- glass and copper on copper- and In Excelsis Deo, amethyst and onyx on sterling. I had fun making these, and they went to specific people because that's what they needed/wanted. I am assured that they get a lot of use, and they only went home last weekend.

When Brigid sang to the Trees

So when I was in Boston last summer, shopping for beads for wedding jewelry, the bride fell in love with this string of tourmalines. I said I'd make her something out of it, and I finally have managed to have all the pieces in the same place at the same time. (I couldn't find a pendant. Then when I found a pendant that would work, I couldn't find my silver hashi. So I used the pendant in another piece. Then I found the hashi. Found a new pendant about 2 weeks ago, and discovered some motivation yesterday. However, motivation not being equal to time, I just managed it this evening.)



This is "When Brigid sang to the Trees," a tourmaline and pewter piece (though that tail and the silver hashi are sterling). It's not particularly big, and I had to move down to my extra fine softflex to string this, and still lost 5 or 6 of the beads to fractures. I had planned on making it longer and just couldn't manage it with the fragility of the tourmaline. Private sale.
