I love these earrings. I hammered the sterling silver into shape then made the earwires. The birds, my dad gave me out of his stash. He had them forever tucked away somewhere. These earrings are priced at $20.00. SOLD
This is my most favorite corner in my yard. The birdhouse with moonflowers growing on it, the old window planter, the old bench was here when we moved in, I'm afraid it will fall apart soon. The crosses on the fence. I have more to add. And yes, that is a bowling ball beside the bench.
This bracelet combines my favorites, turquoise, red coral, opalite, howlite and agate. It's a big chunky bracelet that will get attention. It's 8 inches long and priced at $20.00.
This is one of my soldered glass pendents. I sandwich the picture between two pieces of glass, tape it, flux it and solder. There is another image on the backside. It is on a green leather cord. Priced at $15.00
These are made of sterling silver that I hammered into shape and then added the little accent beads. Problem is.....I can't find them!!! I probably wore them, took them off and stuck them in a pocket. Who knows, I guess I will have to make another pair. That is the great thing about making your own jewelry.
This is a most beautiful necklace. Red coral and turquoise and a silver chain with a lovely heart accent. One of my favorite pieces. Notice the large clasp. I know my mother in law appreciates it when I put a larger clasp on the jewelry I make her. Easier for her to get on and off. I get a lot of attention when I wear this. Priced at $40.00.
This little fella comes to visit my compost pile quite often. He is even used to the dogs barking at him and just waits them out. He knows there are wonderful treats awaiting in the pile.
I decided to redesign my blog. I deleated everything and I am going to start over. So....what to do. I could post my jewelry pics, or I could post gardening pics, or I could post pics of my dogs. I could post pics of my dogs wearing my jewerly in the garden. No....maybe not. I think I will just start and it will be what it will be.
