Adventures in kilns

I am very excited! I created my own molds for jewelry making, then I cast them in bronze. Now, they are cooking in the kiln. Update when pieces are finished :)

New excitement in the studio

I am exploring metal clay! It is so fun and has the detail I love. Thinking of making pieces from places we have visited, I have some great souvenirs! The best part is when fired the piece is .999 sterling silver

My new favorite earrings

These simple silver & gold earring are my new fav & I hope you love them too! I think they can work everyday or a special event. The silver mixed with gold adds a nice twist to an old design. Constructed of argentium silver, which is at least 93% silver & resists tarnish. Ear wires are gold filled for comfort
& durability.

Rainy day, working in my studio

I have always loved pearls, but I have always insisted on using real pearls. Tuesday, at the bead store I could not resist these Swarovski pearls. They are perfectly round and have great colors. Plus they look great and I can sell them at a lower price than real pearls.

Made some charms. I love the sterling silver one with rosé gold filled beads!
