phew...... Sunday.

Let me apologize to everyone.  I couldn't even do five blog listings in a row..... eye roll......   my commitment to this blog is atrocious.   I was meant to photograph the pieces on Friday afternoon to show you all.  But we had some wonderful visitors drop in to give Luke his birthday cards and wish him a happy birthday.  Before I knew it, it was dark and photos were not an option......

Then the chaos of Saturday arrived with a birthday breakfast and then a mad dash to organize the birthday party for 12pm............

It all went brilliantly.... but threw my schedule to the wind!  (note to self: never have a birthday party at home again.)

I have finally gotten some pictures of this weeks work.  It seems like an eternity since I started them..... and tomorrow starts another cycle!

A Montana Agate ring ...... a custom order for a dear customer who has been with me since I started stringing beads! Probably about 7 years now........... gosh how time flies.....

A sweet pair of earrings..... for a sweet customer who has first refusal on them .... (I made them to match a pendant she has bought....... but she hasn't seen them yet!)

One of the bigger pieces I made this week.... a fantastic ocean jasper..... don't you love the way the brass picks up the colors in the stone?

Back view.......

Made with an adjustable chain for your convenience!

A fanciful ring that has been in my head for a while now......... It's nice to finally meet you!

A new type of ring band for me!

Like a serving platter.... dishing out turquoise and orange goodness!

The other large piece.... also with turquoise and orange goodness.  (Vintage American turquoise and Carnelian.)

Oh..... that brass..... doesn't it add richness?

Back view!


Well that is the sum total of all my work this week..... it doesn't seem like much does it?  But this quantity is about all I can handle at the moment.....  Tomorrow I will sit at my breakfast table and start sketching again.............  Thank you for reading about my week.  Thank you all for your support and encouragement.  ........ Without you all there would be no new pieces..... no weekly cycle ..... and routine. xxxxx

Also with an extendable chain...
