coming soon-ish

my camera battery died today. i had a spare but i killed that one somehow. anyway, i spent a long time photographing elliements that are ready to go into the shop and that's what killed it. not surprised though. because photographing jewelry after i have made it wears me out too. i absolutely love doing the metal embossing. love designing them, painting them. then comes the photographing them for listing and the whole process slooooows down. but they really want to come out and play so it is time. snap, snap.

my open gates

made by the hand of kris kramer at the silver pendant. textured and full under the open sky. my open gate leads to what, i don't know. but even the grass swirls and curls in joy for the journey. received today, these now hang from my ears and my hand reaches up and feels the road. the reminder that i am here to be. so beautiful and i can't believe they are mine!

out for consideration

a few of the pieces that were sent to a snazzy little boutique in greensboro for consideration.

photo a day...this one ain't gonna make it...

i made this to put in my shop but it won't leave me. i love it. i love the way it feels on my wrist, the little tinkling sound the charms make, the colors...love it! so it's mine!

photo a day...two stories

 this is in focus and yes, that is rain!

 small limbs rained down...

 hm, wasn't tthere was a curb and corner and street and everything here just 10 minutes ago...

 the other top story from here today...finished bracelets... pearls, shells and czech glass on crocheted copper wire

 this one is crocheted silver wire, looks like fish net to me, outlined with beach glass, pearls, mother of pearl, czech glass and a few other goodies. finished with some pretty fab silver chain.

the rain comes and goes. blue but clouded skies. sun. torrential rain. the blue skies, like now as i post this...

photo a day...bracelet off my bench

this is my latest bracelet. just have to put the copper clasps on. heaps and heaps of beautiful sea lovelies...peacock pearls, green, copper, cream and white freshwater pearls mixed with some czech glass and some really beautiful shell beads. all crocheted on fine copper wire. it feels like i came across a sea treasure chest.  yummmmyyyyyy! soon to be in the shop.
