Spring is coming....

I'm expecting that someday soon (I hope it's soon) Spring will be in the air... and so I'm preparing some sweet Spring-themed items...

This is a little Copper & Sterling Silver Butterfly necklace I'm calling "Hearts-a-Flutter"...

Yes, she's for sale... you can find her here.

Some new Earring variations...

S-Shaped, this time with an added little sphere, in Sterling Silver.



Textured Heart earrings, this time in Sterling Silver.


From Hearts to Butterflies...

I'm switching gears, not making any more Valentine's Day themed items, switching to Spring inspired creations...

This is a prototype piece, it may not hold up well (a friend is testing it for me), but this is the first in what I hope will be a series of sweet Butterflies.

This piece was inspired by the very friend that's putting her to the test, her initials have been worked into the wings, and even the color has meaning for this precious friend (if you know her you'll know what this means).

This piece gave me an opportunity to work on my saw-piercing (I'm improving), to use some new tools I'd not yet tried out, and to stretch my skills in torch-fired enamel...

I think she's kinda cute, here's a bunch of pictures...

A much-needed modification...

I had a newer piece that I'd made, and I liked the look, but I had a sneaky suspicion that it was going to be trouble...


It was trouble... it kept wanting to flip over & hang badly :(....  So then the question was do I fix it?  And how difficult was it going to be to fix?  So I let it set for a while... well... she was lucky, I came up with a very simple fix (no deconstruction necessary)... here's the new look:


I've decided to nickname her "Lucky"...
