Fresh from the workbench! Amber, pearl, lapis, and silver bracelet. Thinking of making earrings to go with it, maybe.

It has an early 90s powersuit vibe to it. Polish them shoulderpads!

The kitten desires the pendant. It’s fossilized fern, copper, and glass. I’m trying to get more springlike since it’s taking FIVE EVER for winter to go away here.

I know, it’s been awhile, what with life being How It Is, but here’s my current project.

Copper and carnelian, fresh off the workbench. Silly phone cameras!

Turquoise (I truly forget which variety. I got it in Tucson!) is set off by swirls of copper wire and set on a copper chain decorated with nut beads and baroque pearls. Sorry about the crummy photos, but it’s fresh off the presses. I can get better ones in the morning!

An agate slab and an antique key are set off by subtle silver wire-wrapping. The chain is sterling, the beads are Ghanan and cast in brass. The toggle is brass, too, but not as cool.

The cameras are still sucky and low-tech around the studio, but some content is better than none, and I’m actually pretty happy with this one. There’s more things I wanted to do with the idea, but I have more keys and wayyyyys more agate.
