Work In The Studio.

Too bad you can’t see my jewelry. I always have it on, too fat and sweaty in the Moab summer heat and the hike was challenging for someone with a fity pound backpack. What you don’t see that either? It’s mixed in with the surface sweat right under the skin. Yeah but I made the frigging hike.

Mexican Turquoise, Mexican spiny oyster, American bench sterling silver beads and clasp. Feels good

A good friend who trusts my creativity asked me to lengthen a favorite brass necklace by 10”. So instead of just adding chain or links I decided to use good ol jumprings. Hey it’s I had in brass stock. Since the necklace used hooks n rings this should add length without diverting too much from original design concept.

Finished with extension. Best part it can easily be altered to adjust length.

Workstation set up, supplies in order, tools, light roll dest chair ready, and dust almost gone. Well until I need to sand again. Have one more shipment of turquoise to receive. Already began my spring collection, very excited for the next show and sale.

Fluorite rock specimen also shown in cut chips, used in finished necklace with acrylic beads, hand cut stone hummingbird, silver metal beads.
