Been deep into fall cleaning, reviewed, retired, put together a flash fall sale on a few things...and a fresh start is underway.
Pulled out and finally finished some old work from (wait for it...) 1991!
But I always work in cycles and often revisit older work to turn it into new.

But I always work in cycles and often revisit older work to turn it into new.
Completed a couple of pendants and a couple of earrings looking forward to the upcoming Santa Fe Recycle Show in November, and had fun shooting some pictures with my new phone.
Nothing is live online yet, but planning to launch in a few weeks.
Below a couple of the very first finished pieces, black and white newspaper cuttings on cardboard core.

It's golden summer colors for these hot summer nights and days, and here is something to take along with you.
Despite the heat, these Hearts are very cool (and very light) to wear!

I had to start my day right this morning and wanted to post this shot of me wearing some of my latest new work: Big Hearts Earrings in black silver and a long black Simple Heart Pendant to match.
It's already hot early in the morning, so I am showing them off on a faded green top that has seen deeper colors...but you get the picture.

The new Heart Pendants are off the bench!
There are 3 sizes, under the name of the Big Heart Pendant - the large size, the Simple Heart Pendant - the medium size, and the Sweet Heart Pendant - the smallest of them all.
They all come in 4 bright finishes, on a matte black cable chain with an easy toggle and bar clasp, and in 2 lengths.

Have been working on some new pendants to add to my Free Form Jewelry collection and experimenting with different chains...many possibilities, but trying to pin down the best one!
I think I like this second chain, and in the meantime have soldered 4 different heart elements, ready for the finishing process.
Planning on having 3 sizes available next week....jump into my circle for first dibs!

Spirit 2 found its home, at last, early this month.
In fact, it all started and ended on a Wednesday, June 1, when this one-of-a-kind necklace was picked up from its display case, almost in a sweeping gesture, by an unassuming customer on a showroom visit.

It all happened so quickly,
I did not have time to fully grasp the sudden departure of a beloved piece, the second of a series of 3 unique necklaces, all with the spirit of late summer colors in mind.
Back from the earliest playful experiments and through the years, evolution and simple variations on a theme, always and forever late summer colors mood.

And now there is number 3, medley of copper and silver elements with heat hues and splashes of black patina to play with along a bead silver chain in colorful arrangements.

It's time for Spring! It's all I can think about these days, in between melting snow flakes and pale rays of sunshine, the blue skies just autside the door.
I replenished my inventory, I got all my Twists and Turns lined up and ready to spring forward with color!

I also introduced the Bangle Sets to make life easier for everybody, so you can stack them up and have them all!
Speaking of sets, here is one with the Stick Pendants in various combinations.
They are ready to go on an adjustable black cotton cord with matching sliders for any length preference.

Not much into hearts, but have made a few in the years past.
Looking into my slide folders (remember those?), I just re-discovered a full selection of them, earrings and pins and pendant and necklaces...Played around a bit with a cheap slide scanning app on my phone and here's a couple of shots, all sold long ago.

This one I remember, it sold in a flash at a gallery in Louisville/KY - heat patina on copper, a sterling silver bead chain with a sterling silver clasp.
Someone had taken a bit bite out of it...
And then there is this one, possibly the most precious of them all.
Sister to the copper one above and the only one left from my hearts experiments, this is a stunning necklace with strong impact.

It has a heart pierced in sterling silver, it has that bite in warm yellow 18k gold to accentuate the piece with memory, and it all hangs from a sterling silver snake chain, with a sterling silver toggle&bar clasp for no-fuss wearing.
