Get your Spring On...Again!

Yesterday I shared a fun copper and brass flower necklace and earrings, today I have to share these colorful copper earrings. Cool turquoise and sea green patina glaze turn these hand forged copper squares into an artsy metal earring. 

The beautiful color will not wear off and will brighten up any spring or summer outfit! Come on Get your Spring On!

Thanks for looking and I will have more colorful earrings tomorrow!

Spring is Coming-Flower UP!

With the promise of Spring coming very soon, I decided to hand forge a pair of copper and brass earrings. I love the earthy and organic look of these flowers, no two will every be quite the same.

I had so much fun with the earrings that I made a flower pendant also, not to mention, I was using up scraps and pieces. What a great way to reuse!

Thanks for checking out my new designs! Happy Spring!

There is a First for Everything....

I have wanted to start a blog for a really long time and all of a sudden today became the day it happened. It will be awhile before I have it just like I want it-as i need to do more research, but I am excited to begin.

My daughter gave me a inspirational desk frame and I look at it every day, it says:
If you stumble...make it part of you dance
I love it and it makes a big difference on a challenging day!

On a silly note-if life gets tough....be a pickle!!! Two of my silly friends!!
