I think I'm getting the hang of this... sort of.

Okay just to update a few things, I took a short break after the holidays to, well freshen my perspective a little I guess. So now that that is over, the last week or so has been really exciting for me. I am starting to understand a little more what I am doing with the soldering, and I have turned out some pretty cool new stuff!!!!



So... Only in FL do roses actually BLOOM in January (okay so maybe there are other parts of the world, but still a rather peculiar sight!) and seeing these gorgeous pink blooms in my yard must have sparked some creative nerve in me, because I am now turning out new jewelry featuring roses... this can not be just a coincidence.



Here are a couple of pieces inspired by this phenomenon...

A roselike freeform toggle....

A rose vine ring....









"Be Mine" Rose, pearl, and swarovski earrings......










And this pair of earrings is called "Branched" .....






Stay tuned for more new pieces coming... more soldered stuff as well as more wire wrapped stuff.... I got some GORGEOUS gem slices recently, can't wait to use some of these!!!!
