life in quarantine

still making lots of soup and delicious jewelry

Soon it will be too hot for soup-making, but never too hot for playing with beads and charms and stuff.

heat wave ...

Lots of completed pieces to share.  I love the porcelain spikes on two of the earring pairs - made by Petra Carpreau of the Etsy shop, Scorched Earth.  They are GORGEOUS!! And look like they were made to go with the bronze clay.

OK.  I am obsessed.  It's amazing to be able to imagine something and hold it in your hand a day or so later.

And three layering necklaces that have nothing whatsoever to do with metal clay.  The silver hamsa was purchased at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul by a traveling friend and has been waiting to be used.  It was too new looking, so I gave it a patina and bashed it up a little with my trusty hammer.
