Ear Candy

Thursday, August 27, 2009
I'm very excited to add these gemstone earrings to my range, I looove making them! They're so bright and colourful, don't you think? I'm particularly partial to the yellow tiger-eye ones, myself.

They can be done in sterling silver, 14k gold-filled, square or round wire. Oh, and as studs or earhooks. So versatile, and in every colour of the rainbow.
Now, I've just got to get my act together and add them to my etsy shop. Stupid photo taking. Such a pain!

What do you think of this fellow? I'm so proud of the way he turned out, I can't stop looking at him!

Mmm caramels

Sunday, August 2, 2009
This pendant reminds me of caramel kisses. Mmmm.


This particular style of wrap (suspension in silver, whatever) is an absolute bugger to achieve. For starters, I have to use half-hard wire, and I HATE half-hard because it get harder and harder the more you manipulate it until it's as hard as a rock! At least with soft wire, you can get it into position and then polish it into hardness!
No pain no gain, hey? Aargh.

Love lapidary shows!

Saturday, August 1, 2009
Well, it's obvious that I don't get out often enough when the highlight of my week was the Ipswich Rock Show. But honestly, the tailgaters are so friendly and helpful, and I get to rifle through lots and lots of rocks. Heavenly! I got a few things - some bargains and some not.

I'll be able to get a couple of cuts out of the queensland agate pebble, so I'm excited to get out on the cabbing machines soon.


I also wrapped a fantastic piece of ocean jasper - this should tantalise those OJ lovers!
