Crazy Busy With New 2010 Collections

Do you ever find yourself so busy that you’re not sure that you even blink? That would be me over the past few months. But, it’s all for a good cause. At least, it is if you love what you do for a living… and I certainly do.

I’ve been working on designs for two new green couture jewelry collections that mix elegance and drama with a touch of fantasy. They’re mythical, ethereal and enticing designs that tell a story. And, they’re sure to turn heads! Both of the new 2010 collections feature mixed media designs with fine and sterling silver, bronze, copper, hand carved gemstones, glass and enamel, polymer clay, as well as natural and found materials.

New designs are also coming for two of my existing collections launched in 2009, Earthly Desires, a collection featuring earth-inspired designs, and Ethereal Sands, my bridal collection.

Lemon Chiffon Opal Rough. Yum.

I found myself looking at a big, beautiful piece of lemon opal rough that would fit in great w/ my green couture bridal jewelry collection, Ethereal Sands, today on eBay. Of course, my auction was outbid. I got sniped in the last two minutes of the auction… same as always. But, oh… do I love the look of that opal rough. I seriously need an affordable local lapidary supplier. Actually, a lapidary shopping spree would be a dream come true. So many stunning new designs are just waiting to come to life. Unfortunately, my pockets can’t quite accommodate my visions right now. Isn’t that just the way of it.
