When we are stuck inside, it's a good time to start getting ready for our spring markets. Here's a few of the things we have been working on.

We are a husband and wife team and together we are Backlund Ridge Creations, where we create wearable pieces of art. Gene cuts and polishes stones which we both use to design wire sculpted pendants. We find our rocks in the rivers and streams where ever we go, we find some of our rarer stones at gem shows and we still buy some of our cabochons. Teri makes copper pendants, earrings and cuff bracelets using a rolling mill to emboss patterns and designs in the copper and/or a torch to produce colorful patterns on the copper before fashioning them into pieces of jewelry.
