Variations...

Three new pieces, not anything that much different from previous items, but nice variations none the less...

This first is one of my double-leaf pendants, this one has a pierced Ichthus (Christian Fish Symbol) on the top leaf & a nice colored Blue Kyanite stone that has been embedded in the bottom leaf with a backless bezel.  Both leaves have a fish scale texture.  I call this one "Living Water".

"Living Water" - Sterling Silver with Blue Kyanite
Then there's "Lucy" - not at all presumptuous, just fun and playful... I made the center of her flower from a bit of Shibuichi (blended copper & silver) to give it a bit of color, that center has been coated with a protective coating to help prevent oxidation (copper oxidizes quickly).

"Lucy" - Sterling Silver with Shibuichi sphere
Finally there's "Sacrifice" a simple pierced single-leaf pendant (btw: the leaf on a single leaf pendant is larger than the leaves on the double-leaf pendants).  This was requested by a friend (I don't normally do requests) for someone special... I call it Sacrifice because the cross that has been pierced through appears to be stretching out its arms...

"Sacrifice" - Sterling Silver
I have another piece I hope to get posted soon, its another experimental ring... still trying to find something that really works for me in that arena... until next time!!

Inspired by a Friend...

I have a friend named Sarah who makes Awesome Handbags, and her logo is a flower with a button in the center.  Here are links to Sarah's stuff:

So, with my friend Sarah in mind I decided to make a flower with a button in the center & I've named it "Sister Sarah"...

"Sister Sarah" - Sterling & Fine Silver with a blue button.
Isn't She Sweet?!?

Flowers & Rivers & Critters...

Continuing with my Spring-themed items...

"Meander" - this piece reminds me of a meandering river... Blue Kyanite & Sterling Silver.

"Aster-a-Buzz" - Yes, that's a photo I took of a Bee on an Aster in my garden (last year).
Photo has a gel-coating & is set in Silver.

Flowers Anyone?


I live in Minnesota... we may have S**w again tomorrow (it's a 4-letter word these days)... so I won't be seeing blooms in my gardens for a while...

As a cure for the it's-been-too-long-a-winter blues I made these little pieces using my photos from my garden from last year.

"Pink Torenia" - photo set on a copper backing, gel-coating on top, set in Silver,
adjustable to 16"/18"/20".

"Pink Phlox" - photo set on a copper backing, gel-coating on top, set in Silver,
adjustable to 16"/18"/20".

"Pink Gladiolus" - photo set on a copper backing, gel-coating on top, set in Silver,
adjustable to 16"/18"/20".
