Earring of the Day June 10th

I think I'm getting a handle on the photography.  I have some stuff on order to make it easier to photograph the pretty things.  Once it's really under control I plan to load my Etsy page once again.  I took everything off because I had orders to fill, and the pictures were not very good.

Today's earring is blue sponge quartz (dyed, of course) with baroque pearls from many years ago.  On sterling silver.

The lines in the background were caused by one of my lights interacting with the phone.  The phone still takes the best pictures.

This is a test

I'm going to upload some photos so I can view them on my laptop to see if they pixilate.

Technical Difficulties

I am no pro when it comes to taking pictures of my jewelry, but I was muddling through.  I take most of the photos with my iPhone and lately, despite the file size (2+ MB) they are pixilating when I post them.  I need to figure out what is different so I can return to regularly scheduled programming.

A Horse of a Different Color

I have Wizard of Oz on the brain.  Probably because of our interior window.

It is between our master bedroom and living room.  It is very cool and opens up our view, plus adds ventilation.  I keep having visions of Wizard of Oz style door knockers on the LR side (kidding).  Anyhow, it also describes my new work.  Take a look and I will provide details in my next post.

Earring of the Day May 25/26

I'm posting late so this should really be for tomorrow.  I have been creating many new pieces.  Finding the time to take decent photographs, that is another story.

Before I get to the earrings, a progress report on the Blue House:  we have walls!  Or, the insulation is in which gives shape to the walls.  Drywalling begins next week.  Excited we are.

Now for the earrings.  These are a blue to lavender translucent cut-glass crystal with three small Labradorite coin beads dangling below.  On sterling, as usual.  The Labradorite is not faceted so the are initially unassuming, but with movement they do have flash.  I even managed to capture a little bit in the photo.  They're really quite fun.

I Know... I'm Sorry. But, look.

It's been forever.  Or it feels like it.  I've been busy.  Unfortunately not with jewelry making.  But I have to get busy.  I have an order to fill an order for Atlanta and I will be putting the displays you see here into a local Pilates studio and another to a local spa.  The frames are still a work in progress, but I'm pleased with the direction.

The light is better in the one below.

Earring of the Day May 8th

I'm sorry for not posting more. Truly

Below are my favorite PYRAMIDS. These are prehnite. They are a pale lemon-lime and they sparkle in a subtle way. I've topped them with a blue-green Swarovski crystal on sterling.
