My computer died!

It's been a long four weeks or so but I am in the process of setting up my new computer now. I'm so sorry if you have tried to contact me during this time. I hope to have my email set up soon!

Playing With Stamps

I received Chinese character stamps that I ordered from my friend Jeanette at Fundametals

I am having fun playing around and experimenting. I don’t have a lot of stamping experience so this is new and interesting for me!

Leaves!

Maybe it's because I so desperately want spring to come, I don't know, but I have been working on leaf themed jewelry! Here are a few examples.

Butterfly Charms

Here are a few charms I made from sterling silver sheet. I think they turned out pretty good so I am going to work on a few more styles! I have these little cuties listed in my Etsy shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=14125

Buttons!

After talking to a friend that sews I had the idea to make some buttons! She was talking about making bags with button claps so I told her I would try! Here are a few.

16mm hammered

Bezel set rose quartz

1" reticulated and fused sterling

1" textured sterling

Sterling flower

1" textured and oxidized copper
