Venice Beach Adornments

#handmadechain Copper spiral links bracelet. Off it its new home. Making chain is still my favorite thing to do.

More hand made chain, and my first hollow form! Copper bead with a cutout. That sweet little turquoise is San Pedro from @crystaldig. It is the best shade of green.

Look what he picked!!!! Does he have good taste or what. Fav stone in my stash. #desertbloom from #braveandcrazy

A few things I’ve been working on lately. Yesterday was the first day in ages that it was cool enough to work in my garage studio. Felt good! #turquoise #relics #mixedmetals

2 Etsy shop pieces and a custom lariat going out today. Thank goodness for the USPS! That means I have to venture out for only the 3rd time! Thanks to great customers. #cornacrud #uspsfan #handmadejewelry

Ready for patina. Atomic Age #WIP

#WIP one of the things on my bench today. Copper prototype.

My weekend's work. What do you think of my Atomic Age inspired earrings? Not for the timid. #handmadejewelrydesign #newbiesilversmithing #midcenturymodern #atomicage

My fist stone setting! I did it! #newbiesmith

I'm so excited. These are my first bezels! Haven't posted in a while; it was a rough few months after my mom's death in August. Battling near constant migraine attacks. BUT! I have been learning to saw and make bezels. And of course buying stones. I'm addicted. Big thanks to the silversmiths I follow for your inspiration; your process shots teach me so much.

New fun earrings! Sterling silver and bronze with appetite chips. I needed something new for fall semester which gets going next week! Long days making jewelry are almost over for the year. Back to work.

Made a chain just for me. Sterling 24" chain.
