Happy Turquoise Tuesday everyone! Here’s a couple pieces that I’ve made recently. The first is a badass turquoise ring for my oldest daughters 18th birthday. The second one is a pendant with some seriously sweet Kingman ceremonial turquoise that I made for my 12 year old daughters birthday. Hope everyone is doing well out in the world. Have a great day and don’t forget to let your soul shine!

I haven’t been in my shop very much lately. Today I forced myself to finish these matching protection pendants for my wife and I. We need them more than ever. Black tourmaline with a carved rune of protection. Before the virus took over our country, our world, I was optimistic of the future. I had just ordered thousands $$$ worth of silver, stones, and tools. I had shows lined up for this season. My wife was starting a really good job making good money. I was taking a week or two off to work on my house a bit, and then the s**t hit the fan. Kids got sent home from school. Wife’s job on hold. Stock market and with it the value of silver crashes. The absolute uncertainty of the future leaves me confused, frustrated, and a bit pi**ed off. My kids don’t deserve this! The only reason I even do this society thing is for them. Everything I do is for them. My wife and I would rather be on a mountainside somewhere away from it all, but we decided long ago that our children needed a “normal” life. To be able to go to school, make friends, play with the other kids in the neighborhood. To be normal. Now what?! This isn’t normal. It’s hard to see how it will be again. What do I tell them? How do I prepare them for something I can’t easily foresee? How do I give them that better “normal” life that I’ve been fighting so hard for? I don’t know. I hope I’m wrong... I hope we can go back to normal, for our children, because right now my heart is completely crushed for them. I hope you’re all doing ok out there. Stay strong and let your soul shine!

Happy Friday everyone! The weather is a bit moody in my world today. So I thought it would be a good time to get some pics of this bad ass ring I made last week. Natural Bisbee turquoise in fully oxidized sterling silver. NFS. I spent my forty third birthday as I have spent most others previously. Working. I made a nice opal cuff bracelet. At the end of the day I was relatively happy with the cuff but felt a nagging feeling of incompleteness. I remembered something I read in one of the wonderful artists post here on Instagram. Wear your work! I wasn’t. Nothing I had made fit quite right for me and I was always “too busy” making things to try and sell. The next day I pulled out the Bisbee turquoise cab that I cut years ago and always knew should be mine. It was one of the first decent cabs that I cut. I built this piece for me and it fits like my skin. I decided to leave the tumbled patina for a little while before polishing because it just looks so cool.😎 Take time for yourself. It’s important. Thank you so much to anyone who actually read all that! I hope you’re having a great day!
