I've only been back in my studio for 10 days, but after unpacking my winter purchases and reorganizing my stash I am just on the verge of being overwhelmed with work ideas. What to do first?!
The winged piece needs some more problem solving, so I've been sliding it to the side.
I just finished sawing off pieces of the fabulous vintage butterfly buckle and have a good idea where I'm taking it so I think it'll be next for completion.
Although no one here in the northern hemisphere is excited about winter, I really like the pendant that's growing from the crystal chandelier drop and how the vintage button suits the Agate Stalactite slice so well. Australia may be more interested sooner in its completion.
One of the pieces I did finish was a necklace that I'd started early last fall. I went back and forth about what beads to include and how to tie them all together. They were sitting in a pile on my worktable when I returned. I think since it was sitting in my brain for 6 plus months it tumbled out in no time. I call it Lavender Seas.
Found shell, Porcelain Jasper donut by Gary Wilson, lampwork by Canyon Echoes, vintage Banded Amethyst rosary chain; waxed linen with sterling silver findings
I won't be able to photograph the necklace for my shop til later this week, but if interested just let me know.
I like that I have the time to get distracted by another jewelry idea when a latent design arises. It makes me nervous when my time in the studio nears its end.
