Paying Debts

I have debts. I'm sure you have debts.

maybe not, I don't REALLY know you.

Some are serious and some are not so.
And some are personal debts: something that you owe a friend because you value that person.
This is about a personal debt.

A while back, I sold three pairs of earrings to a friend of mine back home.

After she recieved them, she sent me 'a bunch of beads she wasn't going to use', and that she figured I 'could do something with.'

I was so surprised when I received an adorable little black box in the mail, and when I opened it...

it was stuffed with so, so, sooooo many great things!!

Opals, pearls, coral, even gold wire.

It was a little treasure chest.

spectacular.

I'm sorry that I don't have any pics to share of the experience.

What I do have to share are a couple of the earrings that I've made her as a thank you.

To repay my debt to her.

red coral on gold wire

blue pearls on silver wire

I hope that she loves them as much as I loved receiving her gift to me.

Have a great day!!

:D

New work

It's been awhile since I posted new work, but I've been making new things all weekend!

A few new personal favorites for sure!!

My sister says that I have to learn to separate with my work more frequently, so...

I'll be posting items to my etsy store this week.

I am headed over to try out a friend's camera for some better closeups of my work. Hopefully, that will make easier to 'experience' the jewelry when I post them.
Until then...

Here's a look at one set that I made a couple of weeks ago for another friend.

They are turquoise and wood with silver.

Very dainty and summery.

I hope that she loves them as much as I do!

Have a great day!

:D
