Remaking a previous design is not always easy for various reasons including I don't have those beads anymore. Most of these are remakes that didn't fit the mold. They are cool designs on there own.

I have been out of the habit of posting and working on remedies for that. All of these are available for purchase. DM me for details.

Jupiter Aligned - jade pendant with copper spirals, crazy lace agate, orange jasper, red seeds, shell chips, red aventurine, and rough nuggets of peridot on copper.

It fees nice to complete this piece that has been sitting on my board for over a month. Time in the studio is rare these days. I am still creating and still selling.

Contact me if you are interested in this or another piece.

My goal is always to use everything and not let metal go to waste. Since I am always revising old pieces, I often have wire that is in the scrap bin. These length get new life, heated, wrapped, and hammered into spirals and abstract shapes as tangle pendants.

Working on inventory once again. So many pieces got created without being logged and now that I am trying to rework my website, they need pictures and details. I still have seventeen necklaces that do not have name tags (some don't even have names yet poor darlings.) I have 18 Power of Word necklace to photograph not including this special one. New month, New beginnings. Happy Pride Month everyone.
