It's been a while since I last posted but I haven't been idle. A friend loved this fine silver setting but it was a bracelet and she doesn't wear bracelets. So,,,I added a few flourishes and made a necklace. It has my handpainted dicroic center stone with matching side stones.Perfect!

My class project from Wanaree Tanners class at Ann Davis Studio in VA. A great time was had by all! I'll be making more of these with different stones. They look amazing.

Life has been busy but finally i am getting around to designing. I have been to African mission trips three times and am inspired by their culture and history. This is the first necklace of my African mask collection. It is made from Goldie bronze, tigereye and shell "claws".

Just finished this ring for a customer. I hate to sell it. I guess I'll just have to make another one for me!!!
