True. I've been away from the blogosphere for months now but trying to juggle so much just gives me fits. My muse has wandered through occasionally; however, not with any constancy so I have to wrestle her to the ground whenever she strolls casually through. So much has been on my bench. So much.
My dear friend also gave me a little bag of rings and old earrings to play with and I found these moonstone cabs to be so lovely and a great size for a pair of dark and swingy earrings. I set the moonstone in scalloped bezel and built a scalloped wall around the circle of silver. Darkened a bit with silverblack and buffed on the edges to give it some life, I drilled out the backside of the stone's bezel so the light shone through. I think I may work this design a few more times. (Please love it!)
Special orders went out late last week for aquamarine sets and I used up all of the chunky aquamarine I had left for this hefty necklace, save for a few pieces that turned into earrings.
Next week : one big three day charity show that I am the organizer for along with a friend who I feel does even more than I do to prepare for the artists and the benefit evening. It will be a wonderful Thursday, Friday and Saturday but I'm seriously looking forward to Sunday the 4th. Also to go out in one week is work for an Omaha Gallery and there is a two day show at The Sheldon Gallery on the University of Nebraska campus Wednesday and Thursday just prior to the three day event. Oh, did I mention that there is a four hour show at a local business on the 8th? No? Oh yes.
Help me Elves. Or help me Elvis, either one.
