London Blue Finished


Okay, here's the final piece as promised. London Blue Topaz and Sterling Silver.


I feel my work is moving again. More and more of my stones are one of a kinds, prong set, and woven over. I've been making so many eye pendants, I do them in my sleep.


It's real nice doing something over the top, something that's pretty, something original.


You can find it on my new web page, which is up and running at http://www.twistedsisterarts.com/

I design in a mess


I had a beautiful morning to create, and while at my bench, was this lovely morning light coming into my window. It fell over my tools and a half completed blue topaz design. The composition of the light, the tools, and color, was just too perfect to waste. Grabbing my camera, I had to share.


I'll be back later with the completed design.

Evil Ring for a Man


Here's some of my evil eye work. I try to keep it out of my blog, as I wish to share my pretty things here. Not necessarily my eye work. However, this one did come out especially pretty, and very strong. My customer, wished to wear this ring everyday, and he needed it extra heavy duty. So, using extra wire, heavier wire, and an extra large glass eye, his ring was created. He is very happy, and going to come back for more.


I can't wait to see what he wants me to create next!!

A Customer Returns


I had one of my favorite customers return, in distress, as she had lost one of her favorite pieces. She asked if I could create a new sterling silver bracelet for her to wear. Something with a heavy duty clasp, to match an earlier design. Same materials. I have a tendancy to keep some of my past stones in stock, for emergencies such as these. Sometimes, to tell the truth, I just like going into the antique typesetters chest just to peek at the different types of stones I use.


Anyway, getting back on the subject, I created this one of a kind piece, and I'm very happy with it. It has real bling power.


Pretty.
