I felt like tinkering with jewelry today because painting takes more brain power than I cared to use. They are both sterling silver with gemstones. On the left, the bottom beads are topaz and the top are ametrine. On the right I’m not sure what the top beads are, they came from an assorted bead dish, but the bottom is coral. It’s kind of nuts how long I will spend picking out the beads and then making them. Productivity is definitely not the goal.

This is one of my top two favorites.

These photos are completed pieces shown in chronological order. There are a few other things I have left out which are not done yet.

I am pretty happy with how some of them turned out and anticipate being able to make even nicer things next time. Keep in mind that the photos make the items look much nicer than they are…because I take pretty good photos.

I learned that blackberries are pretty hard to take good photos of…so most of them were bad. However, I did get this one really awesome photo, so I thought I would post it.

This photo has not been adjusted, edited, photoshopped or tinkered with at all. It is straight from the camera.

I love macro photography.
