More??!

Yes, after how many weeks with no new jewelry, here I’m back with more new stuff within the week!!  Go figure.

Suffice it to say that the creative feeling depends a lot on my mood.  The more gray things seem, the less creative I am.

Here, however, are two new pieces – a pair of hammered, mixed-metal earrings (expanding on the riveting theme – yes, I’m backwards, going from tube rivets to wire rivets but, hey, it works for me!) and a shaped sterling petal pendant with a garnet stamen.

Let’s start with the pendant…

Sterling silver shaped into a petal and polished to a high shine and accented with 3 garnets

yet another view - I love the glow in this photo (and it's actually in the photo too, not added later)

And on to the earrings.  I accidentally damaged the head of my hammer by riveting and I am most annoyed at my stupidity, but, on the plus side, it makes a cool pattern now when hammering…

Hammered, textured, copper and sterling silver earrings

I am bursting with ideas for more rivets… so, as long as I can scrape out some time, you’ll be seeing more soon!
