Celebrating Fall With Earrings

These were so much fun!

I love the body and movement of these leaf clusters, not to mention the textures and colors. (Pressed glass, brass, antique brass)



It is impossible to choose a favorite from this group, but personally, I do love these.  They are dainty and just right. (High quality antique brass and crystal)
I fell in love with these glass teardrops when I saw them.  Abstract design in fall colors in the front, a beautiful shade of green in the back, offset by sturdy copper earwires, they are perfect for fall! (diochondric glass, crystal and copper)


These were from a Czech glass mix that I juxtaposed with crystal and antique brass.  I love those Czech taupe pearl teardrops; these earrings will go with anything!
I really enjoyed working on this group.  Everything came out as good or better than expected.

Debut

After nearly a year of hard work, that followed infinite years of indecision and even self doubt, here I am.  My official blog for my hand-made jewelry.


Really, it's a necessity. I could not possibly wear all the jewelry I was making.  And while we may say 'too much jewelry is never enough' when it is overflowing in your life it's time to share the wealth!  In going public, it has forced me on a journey: of becoming a better craftsman, trying new things, overcoming fears.  I am on a journey of discovery, of what my mind can conjure, of what I can achieve, where I want to go next.  You can view and/or purchase my work here or by clicking on my studio link @ Artfire in the right hand column. 


Thank you for joining me, and stay tuned for the fun stuff!
