Copper and Tourmaline are FAB together!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Saturday was filled with creative inspiration for me  - so I took the time to sit down and make up a few pieces.

One of my very favorite stones is Tourmaline.  I absolutely LOVE the colors and the “flavor” it adds to just about any piece.  Watermellon Tourmaline is the top of the list with the blue coming in right behind at 1.5 (not second).

So here are the pieces I produced this weekend.  I hope you enjoy them and will comment.

These earrings have Tourmaline drops on them and a Smokey Topaz bead in the center.

The Cuff bracelet is hammered and forged then is given a light coat of wax

The Pendant is coiled copper wire

This copper chain measures 32″ with the 3 bottom hoops adding another couple of inches.  It is all hand soldered loops.

Something new..

OK, this is supposed to be a holiday weekend - sometimes I get more done on holidays than I do on the days I “really work”!!!

I have been making some really fun chunky stuff lately.  So I thought I’d show a couple and see what you think.  Let me know if you have comments or questions.

The first piece is Amethyst chunk with dark amethyst beads and handmade lampwork beads.

The second piece is Amethyst chunk with Fluorite and amethyst beads, and silver chain.

Hope you enjoy these.

We are going to my youngest granddaughter’s soccer game tonight.  It should be like a bunch of grapes moving around the field.  But, Hey - she’s only 6!!!!  She’s got a long way to go before she can be as good as her mother was,.  Her mom was the #1 Defender in the state!!!

Yea - I’m a proud Soccer MOM!!!

Carnelian Donut

I have been doing a lot of work with Copper lately - in fact, I have a 30″ Copper chain in my tumbler right now getting all polished and shiney.  All the links are soldered - whew! That’s pretty warm work when the temps are close to 100*.

So, just to give myself something to do in the cool of my studio, I started playing with Donuts.  I purchased some from Turquoise Magpie (Love her quality!) and was wondering “What was I thinking????”  Then inspiration hit and this is what I came up with.

Let me know what you think!
