Oy! Months, it’s been, I know. Bad blogger. Bad jewelry maker. Busy mama.
About all I’ve been up to is commissions, gifts, and donations for charity auctions. So, let me post a couple of the latter with a couple of the former to come upon completion! (If you click on the pictures, it brings up a little slide show – but please come back to read the text!)
Ok, so what do we have here?
The copper “peace” piece (hee hee) is one of a set of four I made for my fellow altos at one of my church gigs. Each of the hang tags at the back was personalized with something that was appropriate to the singer. DW, for example, always says “Peace be with you, nanu nanu.” (If you understand the nanu reference, you’re at least as old as I am…) It’s copper with a sterling silver tube rivet at the hole, the chain and hang tag are sterling, and the hang tag is accented with a drop of amber (for memory, as I’m moving to a different choir next season).
The other piece was made for the CONCORA fundraising auction. It’s an upcycled antique ivory piano key (cleaned, polished, and edges rounded) accented by green tourmaline and pale blue chalcedony on a sterling chain. Among other things, green tourmaline and chalcedony help inspire creativity – seemed appropriate for a music fundraiser!
Alrighty, back to work! Enjoy your time!
Cheers all,

P.S. And, yes, despite 3 kids, I am still doing house parties! Drop an email to inquire!
Unfortunately, I was already on the down side of 30 when nanu-nanu was on tv… I love your post. I too am a delinquent jewelry maker; but my kids are grown so I can’t use them as an excuse.
P.S. Love your work too!!
Thanks!! (And I’m told one never stops worrying about one’s kids so, therefore, I think you can use them as an excuse if you like!)
I too LOVE your work !
Thanks, Cherrie!
