I may be silent, but I'm still creating

I know I haven't been on much, but I have been busy with various projects.
Besides writing fiction, I've bounced between cards, to paper craft projects, to jewelry making.

Today I going to share a few jewelry projects. First is a necklace, bracelet and earring set.

Above is a Green Jasper set. Native Americans see jasper as a magical rain stone and also a powerful healing stone.Ancient Egyptians wore jasper scarabs as amulets as the stone was believed to increase sexual energy. Though it may seem in the picture here as a plain set, when worn against the skin, it is quite beautiful.

This is a crystal set. I am making it for my writing partner, Dani. She wanted a green crystal set. I included clear crystals for contrast, along with silver bead spacers. All I have to do now is size it exactly to her preference.


Normally I keep my jewelry simple, since I prefer simple things. Too elaborate, I'm more or less limited into wearing it.

That's it for now. I promise I'll be back soon. I have several things to show you. Earlier I would have shown you more cards I've made, but I need to write down all the items I used. For that I need to be organized. Whew. That I'm not. Patient, maybe, but organized...nope.

It's a Beginning

I did it. Opened up a new blog site. This one will be used for craft thoughts. Now it's just a matter of figuring out how to find friends and share how I feel about my crafting. Which is mostly card making and jewelry making.
