I'm Back From the Studio!

Sorry for the lapse in entries here...I was happily lost in action in the studio this past week, working to finish some jewelry pieces that had been on the work table for far too long.  Combine that with my Internet connection going down, and it just seemed to make sense to do something creative instead of giving in to frustration with the computer.

I finished the pendant and earrings that I made out of one of my latest adventures in the embossed and painted metal.  I had the hardest time figuring out what I wanted to do for the necklace portion of the pendant and had a few false starts before deciding on what to make.

Here's how the set turned out...

Years ago I scored several kinds of copper and silver beads at a bead show.  They've been sitting patiently in my bead box, waiting to make their debut.  This set seemed like the ideal place to add a few of those beads.  The tiny silver spirals on the copper beads mirror the spirals in the necklace.  Here they are in the pendant...

and there they are in the earrings...

I wore this set out to dinner with friends last night and really enjoyed the colors and textures!

Now on to my next adventure,
