I had such high hopes this week for getting a lot done. I did get a lot done, but very little of it related to what I wanted to be doing, which was making jewelry for restocking galleries and for an upcoming studio tour. Oh well. As we said when I was a kid: C’est la vie, c’est la guerre, c’est la pomme de terre…
I’m in production mode and working on things that can be quickly made. These earrings and pendant are part of a “Something Blue” casual/bridal line. The stone is aquamarine – a strand I picked up last fall at the GMCS show. I’m still on a buying moratorium but the icy opaqueness of the stone is part of what appealed to me. I have very little blue in my stone inventory, because most of the time, blue stones can’t withstand the punishment of tumbling.
I’m actively working through my stash of stones, so pendants and bracelets are also on their way!
