Just Listed-More Words to Live By Cigar Band Rings

Turquoise!

Now in the shop! www.etsy.com/shop/thirteengems

I suck at blogging!

Okay, so I haven't updated since....July? Yes, I am officially one of the worst bloggers! New pieces to share though...does that make up for it?

And a work in progress.....need to go back and clean up the copper, re-oxidize and tumble/polish. Also going to rework the bail...but I love it anyway. All hand pierced sterling soldered to copper.....

Etsy Shop Updated

It has been FOREVER since I have last posted. I thought once the kids were out of school, I would have TONS of time.

Nope, once your kids reach 8 and 10....they no longer play with toys. They bicker like married folk, and whine about being bored....they make things out of duct tape, they take apart bikes and spray paint them (with permission)......but with everything they do, they still need supervision....from me.

That and our sports schedules....(seriously it is ridiculous, like 13 hours a week for one kid and 4 hours a week for another kid) at a location FAR from home...make it hard for me to find time to be able to create for more than a few moments. I have been getting lots of great sketches in though!

Here are some of my recent pieces that I have been able to create and list...The seahorse is my favorite!

It's Been A Long Time!

I have been busying making custom orders, but that leaves little time for me to create new pieces for my Etsy shop. I did get this beauty made recently though, and it is in the shop today!

The Beauty In It All

I know it's only January 6th, but a stroll down to La Jolla Coves on a 70 degree day makes my head swirl with springtime images and ideas. I see more ocean themed jewelry coming to my store. Maybe some more hand sawn sea horses, sea stars, and a few shells here and there. In the meantime, enjoy the view!
