New Student Work

We have been wrapping up our fall classes

here at the studio, and we would like to leave you

with photos of some of our lovely student's latest work.

Wonderful stitched ornaments...

... and pendants galore!

Good work ladies!

All of our students have been wonderful,

and we have had a great time working with all of you!

We apologize to anyone who's work may not have

made it onto our blog... it's not because we didn't think it was fabulous,

it's just that we artist's sometimes have trouble

remembering details like taking pictures of finished work

before it goes out the door!

A Little of This, A Lot of That

A little blue topaz and sterling...

New World...

... of Possibilities!

I have been having fun dreaming up things to solder this week :-).

A new mixed media pendant, featuring and old postage stamp,

a tiny crystal, and a flashing labradorite.

I love these old German glass cabachons that Juliana has collected.



And last, but not least, a new earring holder experiment
with an antique skeleton key taking flight on one side.

There are so many artistic projects that can be done with soldering...

...the possibilities are endless.

I'm looking forward to seeing the beautiful jewelry that

will be created in our two pendant classes coming up!
Happy weekend to you!
