Outside of the shop

I finally got around to making some pieces of my own outside of the shop. My favorite color is green and I found some beautiful green onyx to start but then I found these great antiques brass sparrows and have been stocking up on all sorts of beautiful gems to go along with them.Chalcedony, tourmaline, aquamarine, citrine, peridot, rose quartz on sterling silver.

Garnet, aquamarine, citrine and smokey quartz on sterling silver.

Under the guidance of Miranda, a very wonderful and talented designer at Angie Star, I worked on some original designs that helped me improve my cutting, wire wrapping and texturing skills while using sterling silver.
