Green Tree, Mauve Butterflies and Peach Floral















As you can see I managed to get another three items listed today in my Artfire studio. A Green Tree Pendant, some Mauve Butterfly Earrings and a Peach Floral Pendant.

I learned a new technique tonight. I was lucky enough to have a wonderful friend give me help and insight and critiqued the finished piece. Thank you so much Deb! Not only is she a wonderful person, but she sells beautiful, quality gemstone beads in her studio, CrysallisGems. It was a lucky day when I met Deb!

Sunflower, Dragonflies & More!





I went ahead and listed the last four out of five pairs of earrings that I had finished. The first pair I listed today were the Golden Sunflower Earrings. Second I listed the "Turquoise & Silver Earrings. Third were the "Electric Blue Earrings". Last but not the least I listed the "Emerald Dragonflies Earrings".

I will post the other pair of earrings along with the matching pendant later. As they are also green I plan to list some other colors first. This also gets me all caught up for the moment!

Emerald Green Butterfly Earrings


Here is my newest offering, Emerald Green Butterfly Earrings. Here is a pair of earrings using a pair of the cabs I was working on a while back. These are so pretty and elegant. I have so many more to earrings to list and of course a bunch of pendants to get all wrapped up! A
On another note my dad finally has had it with his computer. So he pulled the "brains" and took it to the computer hospital. It will be very nice to have the main PC working properly again. The bad news is I have no internet at home until it's back. I had to come to the public library to get on-line today. I am planning on coming back tomorrow.

Spring Maple Leaves, Dichroic Glass Jewelry Set





















Here is some green for spring! I took a set of my handmade dichroic fused glass cabochons in a rich, mossy green and fused 22k gold maple leaf images into the top of the glass. I've wrapped them all up in 14k gold filled wire. I suspended the earring cabs from 14k gold filled ear wires. I used a simple wire wrapped bail on the pendant and then suspended it from an eighteen inch green cable necklace.


These pretty Spring Maple Leaves set is now listed in my Artfire studio!

Jade Green Dichroic Glass Triangle Dangle Earrings




















Here's another pair from my hoard, Jade Green Triangle Earrings! I just listed these. Jade green baroque glass over silver dichroic. I've wrapped them in 14k gold filled wire to make the green really "pop" and hung them from 14k gold filled earwires with matching green Swavorski
bicones! I really love this style of earwire. What do you think of this style? (comments has been fixed)

The second picture is of the rest of the doodles from the last batch of dichroic doodles. Actually there is one left that needs to be fused onto a light colored base to show off the color better, but until I do another full fuse cycle....

I want to get another quarter sheet of silver dichroic glass in 90 COE so I can do more coral colored pieces besides wanting more of it in 96 COE....

Green Velvet Dichroic Glass Earrings and Pendant


Another set finished! Rich green and violet, handmade dichroic glass cabochons that I have wrapped in sterling silver. The pendant features a wire woven bail. The earrings are finished with sterling silver earwires. I really love the look of these woven bails. The dark blue in these is actually violet. Next sunny day I will take some more pictures and see if I can get the violet to show as violet instead of dark blue.

Mike and I are taking the boys to see Avatar tomorrow. I may not get a chance to post. So please forgive me in advance if I don't post tomorrow.

Days 13, 14 & 15 Of AEDM Challenge







































I had to slow down a bit and take a break. I went out Friday evening with a friend and Saturday I went to a craft show that I didn't get into because the time limit snuck past me and then went to the movies with my boys. But now I need to catch up and share what I have been working on!

I liked my blue "Twinkle Hoops" so much I decided to make a pair in gold with forest green cabs. Then I made some with silver lever-back hoops with moss green cabs. Then I decided I needed to be able to offer handmade hoops in sterling silver and 14K gold filled. So I made my first ever pair of 14K gold filled wire hoops using the mimosa (coral) cabs. They were so much fun I replaced the silver lever backs with a pair of handmade sterling silver hoops! I will be adding these to my Artfire studio in the next couple of days.

I also had to include a picture of the small stained glass panel I just finished.
