Nested Turquoise Ring

Well, at least I've branched out (ha, ha, get it?!?) a bit with this ring and used a piece of turquoise, with no resemblance to eggs whatsoever......

Yes, more nests......

but the wonderful news is my latest is being featured in the "Woodland and Feathers" gift guide on Etsy, and it spent a day cycling to the front page! I sold three items when it first hit, and have gotten well over 200 hits on it since it was listed there. I liked this photo so much it became my avatar too. There's nothing better than getting those little notices of an Etsy transaction....here's the nest...

Long time since I last posted...

It's been eons since I last posted--happily it's because I've been busy making little nests, and I finally got our taxes done--and we get a 30 dollar refund--woo hoo...

Here's my lastest offering, I found this cool rock to photograph things on...

New background color....

I am changing my background on Etsy to this beautiful aqua blue, which is nice and light and bright for spring. I love the raku, but sometimes I felt like it was too much for the jewelry I had pictured on it. Here's a couple of new shots from today, let me know what you think!

Another bird's nest ring......

Yes, I am nest obsessed....this little nest became a ring, this time made with silver non tarnish parawire and Swarovski pearls. They are amazingly sturdy, and comfortable!

Green Amethyst

I bought some gorgeous prasiolite and aquamarine rondelles from Beadalicioussupplies on Etsy, and I was very impressed with the quality-that has not always been the case for me, photos sometimes are much more impressive than the actual product. Here are a couple of necklaces I put together using some of them.

Bird's Nest Ring

Ah, the continuing saga of these bird's nests....Wendy Gibson of Craft Dinner created a ring, so I just had to try my hand at it too, and here is my result. It is so cute, and comfortable too! I made it with 24 gauge half hard sterling wire that was already oxidized, and it seems very sturdy. Those bird's know something, now don't they!
