Lothlorien leaves!

Well I had the 'flu this week so I had some time to make jewellery again! I had been waiting for an opportunity to use these gorgeous peridot briolettes, and I finally had a fit of inspiration.
I always have music playing when I work, see the video that helped create these beauties:

These earrings would look great on any wood elf, dryad or faery inclined human!

Filigree earrings

Phew, finally finished these earrings I'd been working on since december!

The design proved more tricky that Id anticipated, and to make matters worse, I had bought some 26 gauge silver from a different supplier than usual, and it went brittle and broke when I so much as looked at it...aaaaargh!
They nearly went flying across the room on more than one occasion.

But the hard work paid off!
I'm keeping these babies for myself, than you very much;-)

But I'll make some more for the website and my Etsy shop....maybe...

Harvest Jewels Too

Well, the sky is still gray, but I managed to take some better pictures of my latest creation...

Harvest Jewels

The weather is gray and overcast today, a perfect time to make more earrings...so I did!
My lovely new Harvest jewels don't photograph well in this weather, though...but here's a sneak preview anyway!
