At home

So I'm back in Cali. I was loving the sun, and then bam!...rain! So for like three days now it's been overcast and rainy and I'm confused. It's weather I'm used to, so I'm dealing. I made some jewelry for Etsy, and I'm going to make a line of these vintage buttons set in silver. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9739948

Love and all that good stuff!

I've taken some time lately to get back to creating some silver jewelry. I was inspired to create the interstellar necklace by the wonderful spiral pattern. While making it, I wanted to add an enameled element, so the top circle has little holes drilled into it where I then put some enamel. The name interstellar is from one of John Coltrane's albums. I've always loved that title, and it was the first thing that came to my head when making this necklace. The other necklaces are simple designs that let the vintage button and cabochons show their stuff. The black and white flower is an old button, and the sunburst is an old cabochon.
