Hmmmm...

Well I have been on a earring making kick the last few days, made a good amount of those, so last night I figured I should make something else... Hm I know I ave lots of faceted stones just waiting for me to give them a home in some jewelry. Soooo I have had this idea for a tree pendant with a stone set in a bezel. Well I just happen to have a gorgeous round citrine, that would make a gorgeous sun! So I did the metalwork last night, set the stone this am, and then find one of my solder joints has come undone! Okay not one that hold the whole piece together or anything, but one that will make me not sell the piece, because I do not want to sell them if there is an integral flaw in the design. So I tried to get the stone out so I could fix the joint, but no go, and I didn't want to mess the bezel up, to break the stone, so I figure this one is going to have to go on my neck. Well looking at the properties of citrine, this is a happy accident, because citrine is a stone of success in all walks of life... well I don;t have any in my collection of jewelry thus far, might as well add this one. Besides, I don't have any faceted gem pieces in my personal collection anyway, and this one is nice! Plus is it a daily wear kinda piece, good promo for me, since i will always have it on!

Well that is about it for today... I need to get to work on making stuff! So much to do, and I can't let time just slip by, or season will pass me by, and then it's a long summer before next season hits!
