I made it into another treasury (#2) I'm so excited!!!

So cool. Here's a screenshot of the treasury. Everything there looks awesome! I'm glad to be included!! (my earrings are on the top row, center)

and here's the link to the earrings if you'd like to see them up close. Mixed Metals Earrings

Hope everyone is well! Best, Deb.

Hope Everyone had a Happy Mother's Day.

I spent the day with my husband and son, watching the new Star Trek movie!! Eating a great lunch, hanging out at the bookstore, and taking a nice walk in the beautiful weather here in MD. It was a great day!

Getting Ready To Do Some Craft Shows

Wow! What a lot of work to put together a decent booth for a craft show. I'm actually just in the planning and purchasing stages right now, but am spending hours researching. Well, part of that time is trying to find the best deals for a tent, etc.

Anyway, I'll post when I know the date of my first show! Exciting.

Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels...

Got this from my cousin. I love it. Getting the extra layer off before summer is always a challenge!

A couple of photos of new stuff...

Here's some examples of the forged and aged jewelry I've been working on. I'd love your thoughts.

1. Copper dangle earrings with sterling beads - I love the contrast of mixed metals.
2. Heavy copper pendant with mixed textures on a sterling chain.
3. Copper dangle earhoops with big topaz Swarovsky crystals.
4. Copper spiral ring with multi-texture surface - my personal favorite (good thing it's not my size =)






More coming, stay tuned...

Working Away!

I've been doing more handforging of sterling and copper and I'm loving it. The noise is a bit much (well for my husband, who works from home also. lol) and my hands and fingers are sore, but it's sooo worth it. The shapes and textures are great. And I've been giving some of them an aged patina also using liver of sulpher (which stinks like rotten eggs) and they turned out great. I need to get a couple more tools to make the work easier and the variety better, hopefully soon.

Anyway, I'll put photos up soon of the new stuff, check back!

And the Winner is... Karen!

Congratulations Karen! Hope you enjoy the earrings.

I'd love any referrals to my shop: aweshop.etsy.com

Everyone keep an eye out, I'll be doing another give-away soon!
