Earrings - pebbles and puddles

I just finished these earring over the weekend. They are fabulous!!! I made them for myself, I have not done that in quite awhile. They are the perfect small size about the size of a dime. They are so comfortable and light I do not even know that I have them on. I think everyone needs a couple of pairs of fabulous earrings that are wicked comfortable.

Love is in the Air

Wedding Ring

I finally finished Steve's wedding ring. He choice a simple ring, with a high polish. It came out great, I kept trying to make one that was much fancier than this. But this is the perfect choice for him.
It looks great on you baby.  

After a short break

I have taken a short break from the studio this past year. But I have returned and am hoping to a spectacular year coming up. With this warm snap and the new year I have hopefully found better balance in life and will have time to spend doing what truly feeds my soul - jewelry. I have repairs and new pieces all in the works. I am hoping to revamp my etsy and this blog in the coming months. I have missed my studio and working on my art.

My bench is full of great pieces that will find their homes in new work soon. I am very excited about all the new work that I have planed.

Quinn is wicked happy about being back in the studio also. He is excited to work on new painting projects and a new project for our new dog Rocco. Quinn is making him a dog tag. How beautiful!
I will be posting much more hopefully at least once a week.

Black Necklace

The pendant above I just finished yesterday. It is made of sterling silver and there is a large black onyx set. I love this piece I am planing on hanging if from black rubber cord. I love my little sprouts. I used black max to oxidize it and scruffed some off to give lots of dimension.

Quinn was working hard on his own projects while I worked on the black necklace. He loves being in the studio and making. He loves to learn how to make. This morning when I asked him what he would like to do today, his answer was to go in the studio and make some jewelry. How amazing!!
