Another old favorite is the tree design. The other side has the stone in a modern tab-bezel. The pendant is reversible. This one has a carnelian agate, which is beautifully translucent on the other side so the tree silhouette shows through!

Something Old, Something New
Lately I have revived a couple favorite designs, plus experimented with some new ones. It has been a busy season, and the summer will once again be topped off with the Clothesline Show in Rochester, September 6 & 7. Between now and then I plan to work like a mad-woman, with the exception of next week, during which I will be in Cape Cod for some much needed R & R.
This first design is the "something new". This summer I started making the "framed nature" series. This necklace is hand-fabricated using cast sterling twigs framed in sterling rectangular wire. I like the contrast of the organic twigs with the angular frame.
The dragonfly is an old favorite. Customers have been asking for them, so I decided to oblige. These are lots of fun to make…..formed, textured, hammered, and carved. This one has a pink tourmaline body.
