Sparklies and Metalwork in Progress

Sometimes I have to hang out with the kids.  Other times, for no particular reason, I can't face the metal studio.  I'm tempted to eat candy and play games all day, but instead, I do put some time into creative pursuits.  As you may have noticed, sometimes I knit, sometimes embroider, sometimes play with with mixed media fiberarts.  Recently I got out those wire wrapped briolettes, more beads and wire, and made up some sweet sparkly earrings.

Petite elegant and elegant faceted natural rubies with sterling silver
I have six pairs of these left, enough to buy several and give as gifts.


faceted pale pink and pale yellow with silver -
The round yellow bead is very pale, just barely lemon toned, so the entire effect is quite delicate and sparkly.

As always, I do get back to the metal studio.  Hearts and roses in progress on my workbench today.
