A little confession

Some days you just feel like you are going to accomplish so much, you look at the clock and the big hand is running circles around the dial, it is moving way too fast, what happened to all the things that you were suppose to get done? That was one of these days.......
however I did manage to make these earrings. They are super lightweight, something I like, no one wants their earlobe hitting their shoulder.

 

You can find these here 

...and these here

I have something I must confess...ok here it goes, I HATE to make ear wires, there I have said it and I feel much better. I am not sure why, they are not hard...its just one of those things I do not care to do. What little thing do you dislike doing? In your work or daily life... Spill it...I know there is something, make me feel better.

Queen Anne's Classic Baroque

I would like to think this necklace would have looked just stunning on Queen Anne...however if you notice she is lacking a fancy adornment, could it be she just could not find the "right" piece to go with her outfit. The Baroque era, a favorite of mine, where the arts flourished in ornate, intricate and grandiose style. With Queen Anne in mind and the age of opulence, I created this plum colored delight. I am very pleased with the simplicity and elegance of this piece.

Queen Anne's Classic Baroque Necklace

I would love for a day or so to be transformed into that time and place where I could gaze upon all the fine art, jewels,hand woven fabrics and hand crafted furniture. How amazing that would be. However I would be back in a flash for my hot shower, toothbrush and indoor plumbing...and this girl is not wearing a corset!

What is your favorite era? What fascinates you about that time in our history?

Fly....

I hate to bore you with all my resin pieces but they were so much fun to make! Here is one of the last pieces for now. I especially like this one with the bird from Patina Queen. The color is so perfect with the turquoise beads and really makes the pendant pop! A chunky red carnelian bead is added to the bone and wood beads. You can find "Fly" on my website.

Green Amethyst

Last week I had purchased these stunning green amethyst gems from Mary my "bead lady". I knew I wanted to make something simple to showcase the gems. I wire wrapped them in sterling and oxidized them to give them an aged look. For the earrings I made some sterling links to make them dangle nicely. Although the green color did not photograph well, they are a soft green. You can find these beauties on my new website.

I am feeling a little "horsey" today and am missing these gals and little guy. Just wanted to share a favorite picture of mine. Although I look like a wreck, it's all about the horses.
