I’ve been having some success and much fun working on some new jewelry pieces. I’ve been firing up the torch every day, and dreaming about jewelry at night. (Seriously.) I tweaked the design of my Cave Earrings ever so slightly by oxidizing the insides, too, and I am sort of totally in love with them, now. I’m not even sure why. I guess they’re just “me.” I’ve been wearing mine daily, and this morning a friend told me that “one of my earrings was on backwards and it was really bothering her. ” Sigh…when I explained that they were NOT on backward, but that they were concave, she immediately changed her tune and decided she loved them…she’s a science teacher. 
I’ve also made several more gemstone rings. For now I’m going to be listing them in the shop in a variety of specific sizes, but eventually I’m hoping to be able to make them to size. I’m just not sure I have time in my schedule right now to be able to create custom pieces in a timely manner. And if I can’t do it well, I won’t do it at all. Soon, though! Summer should free up some serious jewelry making time…
you are doing some beautiful, creative work! keep it up!
