Just keep making.

If you follow my Instagram, you’ve seen that I’ve been busy this summer, making jewelry. I’ve been meaning to repost those progress photos here for a while, but, well, here it is, September. (I need to repost my Fabrication 3 class photos, too.)

I’ve been making a lot of pendants, and now I’m trying my hand at some earrings. Rings are always happening, I can’t make enough rings. A lot of the stones I have now are more pendant-size, but there will still be a few rings in there. And at least one pair of earrings. Stay tuned. [Read more…]

Wayback Machine: More jewelry, more stones

Before I post new things, let me show you some jewelry pieces I made last summer and fall…

In August, I made two labradorite rings (one for me, one for a friend), and a labradorite cuff bracelet that I adore, for me. Very pleased with how these three came out!

I then had a two month hiatus while my local teacher was out of town. In November, I made two pendants, both turquoise: one was a commission from my friend Annie, using turquoise from a specific mine (Morenci); the other used Hubei turquoise from China, and is rather large. I may wear it if I can figure out an appropriately big chain for it (and work up the nerve.)
