New earrings

I've made some new earrings. They'll be going up on Etsy soon. I have a few more to finish then I'll put them all up.

Also, I wanted to mention that the very talented Deborah Truesdell,a wonderful artist of Little Art Room in the Back is giving away a piece of her artwork. You should check it out.Although, I'm hoping to be the lucky winner ;o) it's a really cool piece. I'd love to own some of her art.

New on Etsy

I've been working away getting new pieces done and getting them posted on my ETSY store. I've got more to photograph and get on there but I did these today.It seems to me that it takes so much time to photograph, edit and post stuff. I take more time doing that than making my jewelry. Maybe when it comes to tech things, I'm just slow.
Then there's having to name my pieces.

I had trouble coming up with names for my kids and the cats that I've had over the years. Now, I have to come up with names for my jewelry.

I'm just not that clever with words. If I was, I'd be a famous novelist or something. Well, at least I'm happy making my jewelry. If you want to see more pictures take a look at my ETSY store.

New Pieces and I'm sooo behind

I'm going to put some new stuff up on Etsy. I was going to reopen today but I don't think that's gonna happen. I'm hoping for tomorrow. I'm not the best photographer and I could probably use a better camera. However, I'm happy with the way my butterfly bracelets came out. The butterflies are cut from sterling silver sheet. Then I hammer away with various hammers and steel stamps until I get the look that I want. The chains and clasps are also handmade by me.

I darkened everything with liver of sulfur (smelly stuff.) After that I polished all the high spots.

Busy,Busy,Busy

I've been making new pieces to put up on Etsy. Got a few up yesterday and need to get more pictures of some others. These are my favorites. I've fused sterling onto copper for this look. Sort of a moon over the ocean.

The most difficult thing for me is getting good pictures. I think these turned out o.k. but it took a long time. And thank goodness for digital camera's. I'd be going through an awful lot of film otherwise.

These were fun to work on because I got to use several techniques. The silver was heat treated then I polished all the high spot's to show all the texture. I've said it before and I'll say it again~~~~love my torch!

Well, that's it for now. I have more work to get going on and more pictures to take.
