This is a really big bead - perfect for a focal . It is very rustic and completely cool .It is Turquoise Magnesite - which means it is dyed to have

Think these have the neatest patterns . Wonderful earthy colors .

These beads have such a neat pattern ( I think it looks a bit like wood grain )- kind of a swirled pattern in shades of reddish brown , brown , grey

Not real sure where my muse has been but she just showed up covered in glitter - oh good grief , did she jump into one of the Christmas ornament boxes when I was packing them up ? Poor little thing - I think a big cup of cocoa is in order ( with marshmallows and a sprinkle of cinnamon of course ) .

Lots of color , wonderful patterns - love this stone .

Multi-color Picasso Jasper has so many colors - just amazing - hard to believe one stone could have all those colors I think they look like wild bird colors -

This is a huge coral pendant - not sure it would work in jewelry but maybe it will inspire someone to create an amazing art project .

I want to start by saying this is probably not suitable for jewelry - it weighs 4.4 ounces - but it does have a hole drilled front to back at the top

My muse has discovered leg warmers . Oh man . I thought they were pretty weird when they were first in vogue but this has taken it to new weirdness . She is layering them - on her legs , arms and even managed to pull one over her head and around her neck . I kind of wonder what this will mean for new designs . Sigh .

Just listed this in my Etsy shop . Fluorite is so amazing - love all the colors - this one is the "coke bottle green " color .

This is a beautiful bead - it is light coke bottle green - clear with a bit of foil inside( little areas that catch the light ) . I love this cut -

We've been blessed with the most amazing clouds - and sometimes rain for the last couple of weeks . Think my muse is becoming more active and excited . Colors everywhere - soil , plants , flowers , sky - this could be a very good week for creating - lots of inspiration .

Been a while since we have been here . My muse has been off doing muse things ( don't ask , I don't - there are just some things I would rather not know ). I have to admit to being in a bit of a funk . Guess this may be what we are calling a vacation this year .

Listed this in my etsy shop . Think it is so amazing that grey can have such an impact - wonderful scene .

This is a wonderful pendant - Natures Paintbrush Jasper has such amazing landscape designs . This one has all shades of blue with black - I think it

And this is the whole necklace . Woo Hoo ! I did it - can't believe it actually posted .

I sometimes wonder if Nature's Paintbrush Jasper is the record keeper for our Earth - it seems to have captured images of landscapes in such detail - so beautiful This
