Jewelry for JerBear's Boss

I finished the jewelry set I made for JerBear's boss.   She's going to donate it in the Carousal Charity Horse Show silent auction.    I hope it makes a lot of money for them. 

The necklace is made with leather,  hammered copper rings, spirals,  homemade chain,  storebought chain,  Nacazari Turquoise and  other turquoise.  It has a rather large Spiny Oyster slab looking pretty just dangling. 

The bracelet is made from the same leather and large chain.  It too has the Nacazari Turquoise and some copper spirals. 

Thanks Heather for modeling the bracelet!!



I made the earrings and the chain on them.   

Now comes the hard part....naming them.  

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Groundhog Day!!!

Brrrrr...it's VERY cold!  I still have groceries in the back of the car.  It's too cold to go get them.    I'll let JerBear bring them in when he gets home. 

I haven't done a great lot.  I've also been working on a footstool.  I painted it,  and decided I'm not real happy with all of it.    I've made about four feet of chain.  Another foot and it will be as long as I am tall. 

This necklace is made of copper and leather,  with Pietersite beads.  Pietersite is such a beautiful stone.  The colors run from blues, to browns to reds, to creams...oh..just gorgeous!!  The clasp is handmade.

This  leather necklace has a Spiny Oyster as the center of attention. 

This is the footstool I've been working on.  I found some wallpaper border with roosters ( I love roosters) and it doesn't quite go with the some of the colors I used.  I'll glue it on,  and then repaint and then apply polyurethane.  I have a  larger bench that's still  raw that I'm going to do something with.  

I haven't painted anything in ages (a few years).   I'm out of practice. 

Anyhoo.  I'll post photos of the stool when completed. 

Thanks for looking!!
