50 shades of.... PURPLE !!!

I absolutely love Purple, it's so majestic and royal.

It is one of the funnest colors to enamel with because you never really know just what it's going to look like when your finished :)

Here's a few different shades of Purple for ya:

Copper and Stones

Larimar is such a beautiful stone.  It has a real beachy watery feel to it...

I needed to add a chunk of it to my Copper pieces, so here it is:

I love the sea :)

You can find my Copper Larimar piece in my Etsy store here:

Springtime in AZ

Feels like Springtime here in Arizona so I made a few Spring colored earrings :)

 The earrings are made from lil' copper flower petals that I've enameled.

I'll list them soon in my Etsy shop.

Dagger Necklaces

It looks like a lot of Quartz and other stones are being shaped into daggers now, which is pretty cool :)

So, of course I had to get some to play with, here's some Necklace designs I've put in my Etsy shop:

Here's one with some really nice Green Kyanite Daggers with Quartz Daggers and some freshwater stick pearls

This one has some Quarz Daggers that have been heat-treated to change the color and what a nice color it is !!!  It's a chocolate brownish bronze color, just beautiful :)

Here's another Quartz Dagger that has been heat-treated to this gorgeous blue/purple color.  I've added some small purple beads to highlight the purple in the Quartz.

This one has that same beautiful Green Kyanite Daggers as well as Quartz Daggers and some really nice Sea Urchin Spines !!  I've strung this one with a creamy white soft leather :)

Inspiration

Check out these old bottles my husband and I found while digging around old mining camps !!

I've always wanted to find old bottles, and finally I did !!

I needed a little inspiration to create some new jewelry, so I decided to use the colors from the bottles.

Here's the necklace I made:

I used Green Kyanite, Quartz and Sea Urchin Spines

There's inspiration everywhere, you just have to dig it up :)

Chrysocolla luv, again !!

Starting to string up some of my Chrysocolla that I got down in Tucson at the Gem Show.  I listed it on my Etsy page, that hurt because I want to keep it !!!

I really luv Chrysocolla, it's so beautiful :)

I mean really, just look at it....

Do you have a Gypsy Soul ?

The colorful lifestyle of the Gypsy inspired me to create these bracelets.

 When I think of "Gypsy" I imagine bright bold colors mixed with a bohemian, wanderlust way of life.... dancing in the moonlight and all...

Don't we all have a little Gypsy Soul in us ?  I think so :)
