Remember Brave Heart ? Well , I decided I liked it so much I has to make some little ones. Again, photographing metal is not my specialty, the sterling silver one was tough, but I think you get the idea. I'm a silver girl myself, but I really like the way the copper one came out with the patina. I think I will make one for myself...I think everyone needs a little brave heart!

THE MESS
Up high on the list of my favorite things to do is to work with LeAnn Weih's ceramic pieces in my jewelry! The beautiful hoops I bought from her were no exception. I really had something completely different in mind when I saw them, but when I received them and got them in my hands, they instantly reminded me of a very rich fabric, so detailed, textured and smooth feeling at the same time! Luxurious feeling is what I call it.....they appealed to my senses!! So I used some twisted sterling jump rings I hade made, and twisted the handmade headpins I made also, I really liked the ornateness of that look. Some turquiose and ruby, and that was it, I was happy!

Felt like pounding some metal this weekend, and I tried something different and out of my comfort zone, as far as subject matter for jewelry, but I kinda like it.... Really had a hard time photographing the metal...it glares horribly and you can't see the wonderful color in the crown from the annealing, a nice soft pinky purply...guess I'll have to drag out the old light setup, but for now I'd thought I'd give you a peek! Thanks for looking!
