Here's some new jewelry I made recently!
I have been renewing my passion for creating jewelry as it's had been over a year since I really did anything...I'm still painting but am so excited about posting these items in a new site where I can actually put them up for auction, WITH A RESERVE!! I think I posted some of these on FB so if you've already seen some...don't get bored..ehehhehe!!!
It looks like I"m going to be off my feet for awhile as I had a little accident last night when trying to leave my puter. My left leg gave way and I fell towards a large basket that I keep my jewelry in...now you can guess I tried very hard not to crush the jewelry or the basket....I yelled for my dh who came running and saw me in a very unusual position...one leg crossed over the other one that was leaning on the side of the basket...Oh so much pain..can't tell ya..they are both swollen this morning...I have pain patches on them...but walking is difficult. And I'd just been to the drs yesterday!!! hehehe Thanks God she changed my pain meds...much stronger than the Darvocet...was taking 6 of those a day and it didn't even take the edge off....Oh well, was just thinking if you could hold me in prayer that this fall heals quickly...I don't have time for this!!!
Blessings to each of you who so kindly come and visit!!!

Awww what gorgeous work!!!
The first photo is an American Indian Tribute painting, "Warrior Tears" done by Cathy Minerva in encaustics. I fell in love with all her paintings done in this medium, and someday I'm gonna be the owner of one.

The second is a little ATC done in this same medium. I was totally blown away especially because it's Cathy's first encaustic ATC ever done...and I own it!!! heheeh!!!
Thank you Patti Koosed for partnering Cathy and I up in your Blog's Valentine Swap.

Playing around with Copper
I usually use Sterling Silver to make my handcrafted/handwired/beaded jewelry, but discovered several sizes of copper that I'd purchased when I first got involved with this venture!!! That was over 2 yrs ago...hehehe I thought I'd show you some of what I've designed this week and have to tell ya it was fun...didn't think I liked copper, but I do...please note I'm quite the novice at creating handwired bracelets...
