Necklace of faceted carnelian gems hand knotted on silk with brass pendant. Brass bugs and green tourmaline teardrops on 14k gold filled lever backs.
Here is a necklace and earrings I made for my daughter's teacher. I like the vintage feeling of the brass findings. I particularly love the bugs as earrings.
I am back after a 4,5 month hiatus from blogging due to problems with my elbow. A fabulous physical therapist made me all well and I jumped back into arts and crafting about a month ago. It got immediately really busy, but it wouldn't be summer without a little fun trip. We went to Potter Valley in Mendocino County and visited our wonderful friends Emjay and Jim, who own the beautiful Naughty Boy vineyard and make the most yummy wine. If you have a chance try their divine Pinot Noir or Chardonnay.
