Gorgeous Stones, How is such beauty possible?

New work in the Etsy Shop today.

I'm continuously amazed and fascinated by the variety and natural beauty of stones 

that we dig up from our great Earth.

My love of organic beauty has carried me forward into my artist muse of choice, 

metalwork that incorporates treasures from the deep.

Enjoy a few pieces of new work, 

as I try to emulate the radiance of the stones in sterling silver.

Thanks for stopping by ;o)

All work can be found in the Etsy Shop

Of Hemoglobin, and some new Eye Candy....

Hot off the bench this week!

I'm calling this one my Hemoglobin Necklace.

For any Dexter fans out there, this sort of reminds me of his blood slides!

Probably the most incredible cabochon I've had in my possession.

Pigeons Blood Agate.  I am trying desperately to acquire more of this same quality!

The back is cut out because it is just as beautiful, and also because from the front this cabochon looks even more beautiful with flesh tone instead of a silver backing showing through.

Gorgeous Maury Moss Agate, in Autumn colors!

Autumn leaf pierced out of the back to reveal the gorgeous red moss, and just to play with absentmindedly while you wear it!

My signature Hammerhead Cocktail Ring, this time in Piranha Agate.

Some great little silver caviar accents on the back.

Size 6.5.

Beautifully dreamy Obsidian, revealing a silvery blueish Lunar Eclipse.

Some great silver accent balls on the back.

Size 6.25.

Sterling and 24k Gold Keum-Boo Stud Earrings.

Sized approx .30" round, and perfect for everyday wear!

All available in the Etsy Shop!

I hope that everyone has an absolutely delightful Halloween this year, filled with plenty of friends, family, candy, and good scares ;o)

back on the horse and some new stuff...

I'm back in the saddle again!!!  Whoooo!!!

Ok, so I've actually been back in the saddle (my workbench) for several weeks now, just haven't been able to get in the swing of things and complete a single project.  Have had multiple pieces partway fabricated, but have been lacking the 'balls' so to speak, to finish them.  When I've been away from my bench for a while, or I'm in a new location with a new setup, it sets my working hands in a tailspin, and I lose control of what is automatic.  I finally determined that what I needed was a few simple projects to get my hands (and my insane brain) re-focused and used to the work again.  For some reason, my hands are still shaking terribly....but I don't think it necessarily effected the work this time ;o)

Torched glass cab, simply stunning, I've titled this one, "Galaxy", for what I feel are obvious reasons.

Bramble Earrings out of copper and Pyrite, for what I feel are also obvious reasons.

Tourmaliated Quartz....easily stunned by the beauty and simple complexity of this stone.

Size 7.

Amethyst Sage set very simply.

All can now be found in the Etsy Shop

Now, I think I have determined that two glasses of red wine considerably help in the hand shaking department....so off to test my theory ;o)
