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!!
