No Pictures This Time – Sorry!

But I didn’t want you to think I wasn’t working on some new things!

I’m currently working on a sterling cuff bracelet in a simplified art nouveau kind of style.  I’ve got the piercing down and about half the cutting done, then it’s on to shaping, rounding, sanding, polishing, swearing a lot (just kidding… hopefully!).

I also got in some cool faceted amethyst stones, cut like you might for a solitaire, that I’ve got some great ideas for.

Meanwhile, I’m now offering gift certificates on the site!  Buy one before Thanksgiving and I’ll send you a second $5 gift certificate free as my gift to you!

Cheers all!

Riveting!

(Or not … I guess it depends on your perspective.  Me, I found it quite absorbing…)

So, rivets.  An interesting challenge to be sure.  Here are a couple of pics of my riveted bangle.  It’s a WIP but I’m setting it aside until I can learn to solder for now.  Since I teased you with mention of it, I figured I’d best post a picture!  Also below are a cute pair of riveted earrings I made up with the bits and pieces laying about on my desk.  They do have an almost mirror finish that doesn’t really show in the picture.

Hope you enjoy!

And the Rosie earrings…
