Copper Acorn and Oak Leaf Jewelry

I've been working with my die formed acorns, chasing them individually over pitch to refine and texture.
2 acorn amulets.  These come ready to wear with a 16 inch black cord necklace.  18 inch sterling silver chains are available for an additional $17.

Acorn Earrings
I can repeat this style, so please ask if you need more.  Each acorn will still be one of a kind, but enough alike to wear as a pair.

a mother's birthstone necklace

My husband has been in and out of the hospital over the past few months. While waiting in doctor's offices or the hospital, I nearly finished my wild stocking hat.  I need to finish up a little wool heart for the end tassel.


I also cast on my next knitting project, crafted with the kids, and picked up some crazy duct tape to use with my giftwrapping.
 
 

I haven't had a chance to get back to my die forms since my last blog. When I did get back into the studio, I made my holiday gift for myself, a mother's birthstone necklace.
It's a visually delicate, but physically strong 18k gold chain with pearl and citrine drop pendants.   The pearl and citrine represent my children's birthstones. 

I don't plan to offer these as an individual listing in my shop, because the prices will vary so much depending on chain length and stone.  If you are interested in your own similar necklace, please contact me for a price estimate. 



Bill and I had planned to get some new tools for my holiday gift.  Unfortunately, every tool I want is backordered indefinitely.  I take that as a sign that I don't need new tools right now.  I'm better off making than buying.
