Happy Thanksgiving
Wishing you all a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!!!! In a time when things seem bleak with the economy and life is super stressful for everyone…there is still so much to be thankful for…this is a good time to chill out, enjoy family, friends and reflect on the many blessings we have. We will be traveling this holiday, and I am super excited to meet our brand new nephew for the first time. This has been a rough week for me in many ways, so I too had to slow down and remind myself of the things I have to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!!

Rustic Flower Birthstone Ring
I love this little flower design that I have etched onto copper. I have previously used this design in some other pieces and also transferred it to silver. But today I really wanted to play with combining the copper and sterling, I just love to melt, shape and spread metal to see what I get. This little piece I have added an amethyst cabochon and a twisted silver wire band. She is quite rustic, delicate, feminine and a bit different. I am quite pleased with her. These are made to order and if anyone would like to have one that is the combined metals or straight silver with your birthstone just send me an email. OK so now back to some more etching…tomorrow I will
