The Colors of Logwood

I am finding myself drawn more and more to the natural colors of the fibers paired
 with the muted tones of natural dyes.

Marissa's Jewels Continued....

Coming back to jewelry making after a two year sabbatical has been an experience!  Everything takes twice as long as I think it should...I promise I'll be the most organized jewelry artist on the planet before this is done...since I have to search and find everything I need and I'm labeling all my drawers and boxes as I go along...I spent an hour this  morning looking for my 3mm bezel cups!!  I bet they heard me snarling all the way to Seattle...

I've almost finished Marissa's pendant and earrings...a little more sanding to go and a couple of bezel cups to add...I hope to fire them tomorrow and then on to the enameling....


Enjoy!
