Moving on to my newest creations, all finished within the past week. The first is a necklace made from Azurite and Malachite combined with copper chain. It really has an earthy feel, reminds me of looking at the Earth from space. It's a longer necklace at 23 inches, and totally cute and casual!
Next, I took a filigree butterfly and cut it in half, preserving the wings. I then wired black tourmaline rounds to the wings to make a body on each half. These have to be my favorite earrings to date! I love flutterbies!
My latest project was just finished on Saturday. I took a beautiful green piece of beach glass that Diane of MyGemStoneBox sent me from Rhode Island and finally learned how to cage it to make a beautiful pendant! I used square copper wire to cage it, and hung it from a length of brown leather cord. The cord is adjustable to make a long or short necklace. Turned out just darling!

Jamie- really lovely stuff! I especially love the butterfly earrings..........what a creative idea!
I too love the butterfly. Not much of a stretch for me as I love butterflies. Your technique however is very original and lovely.
Those are beautiful. Please keep us posted on your success on Artfire. I have my eye on it but I'm not ready to commit to a monthly fee....tough times.
Jamie, I really like the new backgrounds you are using in these pictures. They look very warm and cozy! That sea glass, in the bright green, is terrific! Hope your arfire store takes off. Teri
