It's Peachy Keen!

That's what I named this sweet little piece… "Peachy Keen"…

Peachy Keen - necklace in Sterling Silver with Agate.

This little piece of Agate was such a cheery color that I decided to set it in a sweet little setting, she is for sale, info can be found here...

Mixed Metal Cross

This is a heavy mixed metal cross made from Sterling Silver with a large Copper Sphere.

Yes, it is a little crooked, it is hard to work with these heavier pieces when soldering… but I think I've found a solution for the next time I try (I've got something new on order to try to resolve)… it still looks very nice on, and I'm trying to decided if I keep this for myself (as a prototype) or if I'm going to sell it… In either case I expect to be doing more crosses in the future…

More to Love...

A couple new Playful Heart pieces, modeled after one of my early student pieces, each with a torch-fired enamel heart mixed in with sterling silver hearts cascading down….

Sweet Young Things...

I've created a new line I call "Sweet Young Things", they are much more simple in design & have shorter chains (13/15" adjustable), created with a youthful fashionista in mind…  since they're so much simpler (both in form & in construction) I have been able to keep the price down on these as well.

Memories of my brother as a kid...

Maybe I'm thinking about my brother because he recently had a birthday, not sure, but I looked at this and it reminded me of my brother's freckles when we were kids - they were so sweet, and he was such a cutie… so I named this piece "Freckle Face", it is one of my Simply Sweet collection.

Sterling Silver with Dendritic Agate, and yes it's for sale - info can be found here….

Early Autumn in the woods...

I found a name… "Late September" because this stone the color of the leaves in that part of the year here in Minnesota...

The pendant is in my Lattice style, in Sterling Silver with Rainforest Jasper stones.

Are we there yet???

Ok, I know I've been blogging a lot today, and I promise this is the last post - frankly I'm tired!!

A Sweet Little mixed-metal Set...

This is the newest item in a grouping I call "Simply Sweet", and currently the only one of that bunch (at the time of this posting) that is for sale… the others all have homes already…

I decided with this little set to mix in copper along with my usual Sterling Silver, I think the Copper compliments the Red Creek Jasper stones…

"All Mixed Up" - Sterling Silver, with Copper hearts & a Copper Bezel, Red Creek Jasper.

For this set I treated the copper metal portions so that they will resist oxidation, on necklaces this is particularly important since they rub against the skin and/or clothing.

This little sweetheart can be purchased here…

A Happy Accident...

Sometimes I try things just to see what will happen… I was doing that the other day… and what I wanted to happen didn't, but what did happen ended up better than what I was trying to do… so lets just call these a Happy Accident…

Torch Fired Enamel on Copper hearts with Sterling Silver.

I was playing around with Clear enamel, and wasn't happy with the results, so I tried adding a little green enamel on the top, and ended up with these little lovelies… the picture doesn't do them justice, but I like the effect with a little of the copper showing through in speckles…

Yes, they are for sale, find more info here...
