So much happening in the workshop this past month-where to begin?? Let’s start with a few earrings that all have a story:

These ear drops were inspired by a “free” 2″ piece of half round textured brass from one of my wonderful suppliers,  SupplyDiva  in Mexico.  I’ve had these fabulous green glass lampwork beads sitting in my bead stash for about 2 years.  Just shows what a few hours of free  time can produce–the beads actually spin on their little base…love these.

I bought these incredible hand crafted lampwork beads from a very talented lady on Vancouver Island at Island Rain Studio  over 3 years ago…they have been patiently waiting for me to design something to really showcase their gorgeous hues and pattern…think I got it!  The soft greens  are enhanced with the sterling silver wire ear hook and wire wraps, and the medallion at the bottom is free-formed silver stamped with one of my favourite designs, a little swirl-I call it my “whirly -gig “…

And I’ve also been having a blast with cages- of sorts.  There isn’t much I can’t wrap into one of these little neck pieces-this one happened to feature sea shells, sea glass and old keys….my kind of wonderful…

Come back soon, lots more goodies to share in the coming weeks!  Please visit my Etsy Store if you are interested in purchasing any of these or other pieces and thanks so much for stopping by!
