More goodies! I finished the pendant today and listed both the earrings and pendant in my Artfire studio today. These cabochons are out of white opal glass that has been overlaid with hand drawn and etched dichroic glass. A lovely shimmery silver-blue that in the right light also goes purple.
I was supposed to have a class last night, but was stood up again.....From now on these folks will be required to come in and physically sign up for my classes.
I edited all the titles in my Artfire studio today. Before the title had the name and then a short description of it. Now the short description comes first then the name. This way I seem to show up much better on the searches.
I have got to figure out a way to make a catalog of my pretties. I know that there are several places I could leave one at. I guess for me the main problem is my printer. I don't think it prints very good pictures. I think I will also do a bit of searching on-line. I may be able to put something together and then order it.
So here is the first finished white heart. I named it "My Entwined Heart". I feel that I managed to get some decent pictures of the dichroic design. It took me over six months to finally figure out how to get some pictures that actually showed the white backed dichroic glass with all it colors.
In the right light the silvery aqua dichroic on this turns to a rich ultra-violet purple!
The second offering is my "Peach Leaves" earrings. Peach opal glass overlaid with more of those lovely, shimmery silver leaves. I've wrapped these in 14K gold filled wire and hung them from 14K gold filled earwires.
I hope these pretties please!
Despite all I have had to do today and yet to do, I managed to squeeze enough time to get this pendant finished. I tried yesterday, but my hands just weren't working well enough so I decided to wait and try again today. Here it is, my Red Sweetheart Pendant! Another one of those cabs that I was working on last week all finished in sterling silver. Hope you like!
Here is the first finished pendant and earrings out of the finished cabs. Aren't they gorgeous? I love them! And just wait till you see the heart earrings and pendant coming up next. I just listed these in my Artfire studio, Hearts & Flourishes Earrings and Hearts & Flourishes Pendant.
I have a Valentine's Day Sale going on now through Friday, Febuary 5. Everything in my studio has been marked down 30% including the clearance items.
Here is the newest finished set! This is the pendant I had hoped to get wrapped yesterday. I had planned to list it and the matching earrings tonight, but had problems uploading the pictures. I'll try again later. I finally found a name for the blue set, Blue Dragon Scales Earrings and Necklace, courtesy of help from my on-line friends. Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions and your help!
My aunt left her eight month old border collie/lab mix for a playdate with our golden girl, Miss Lacy. We try to let them play together at least once a week. With all of our lovely rain my front yard is now a muddy mess. While my aunt and I were out shopping they wrestled and played in that mud. I came home to a "black" muddy golden. So I had to wrestle the poor terrified, 60 odd pound baby into the shower. To say she is scared of the shower is a bit of an understatement. She howled and cried throughout the process! I decided that my belated gift to my ex for his birthday was his bathed puppy.
Here is another new set. It is in soft shades of fuschia. I love the soft colors. I listed the earrings and pendant earlier in my Artfire studio I also listed all these sets in my Etsy store. I also caught up on my photography this evening. Now I can finish listing the rest of my pieces!
