the back drop

i have a thing for backs.  i like to watch people move from behind.  i think you can tell a lot about a person from this angle . . . how people carry themselves and move can reveal how they're feeling about themselves and the world.  backs are just plain sexy.  that's why i put a little something special on the back of every necklace i create.  it's pretty, it provides a weight so the necklace doesn't turn around, and it's a better reminder to stand up straight than your mother digging her finger into your back.

i worked on this piece before and after the dude and i took a weekend at harbin hot springs . . . watery.  sterling silver with green amethyst, moss aqua and pearl.  oh, the seeds are tourmaline.

i've kind of fallen in love with the green amethyst.  i paired it with kyanite here.  sterling silver.

next post will feature some earrings and pieces inspired by what should be a spectacular fall!

i gotta thank annie . . .

i've been making jewelery for family and friends for ages.  in love sparkly things and pretty much just assume everybody else does too.  so i make stuff.  this has been a godsend during this last year, being unemployed and all.  a day more boring than usual crept up and i wondered, "hmmm, what should i do today?" i went for a walk and noticed the turn to spring, the flowers, the colors, the smells.  my god the smells in this place!!!  during my jaunt, my friend annie popped into my head and i decided she needed a new necklace.  as i was scouring the bead trays looking for the perfect annie-beads, it hit me: "why the fv@k am i not doing this for a living?  i got mad skills.  i got impeccable taste.  whiskey tango foxtrot."  so thanks to annie, i'm making a stab at making a living from this.  woohoo!

here's more sparkly wearable art.  prices are listed . . . etsy store coming soon . . . i have paypal until then . . . just in case . . . .  ;-)  enjoy!
