Yesterday’s post was a photo of my newest earrings in progress. I started with argentium sterling silver wire, made some rings, attached wires to use as earhooks, added some texture, shaped the hooks, smoothed the wire ends….for a fairly simple style, there were actually quite a few steps involved. I don’t use solder in my [...]

Yesterday’s photo was shot by me (!) over the weekend. I can’t believe I got so close to a bug that big voluntarily – I have a bit of a phobia – but for whatever reason, being behind the camera makes it seem okay. I think the photo is really cool. I’m learning to use [...]

Yesterday’s photo is of a small freeform pendant I made recently. It is made from argentium sterling silver and a single freshwater pearl in my signature freeform style. It’s a little smaller than I usually make my freeform pieces – less than an inch in total length – hence the name. Here’s another angle:

Yesterday’s photo is of a little cluster of blossoms on a plum tree. The tree itself looks a lot like a blossoming cherry tree to me – very pretty – so I’m glad I got some pictures while it’s in full bloom. It was a really bright day though, and the color ended up looking [...]

Yesterday’s cute baby photo is one that I edited on my ipod. There are some fun photo apps that cost anywhere from free to about $5, and I’ve been playing around with a couple of them.

Yesterday’s post is a photo I took of a single flower from an arrangement a friend gave me on my birthday. I edited it to make the background black and white, which is a fun effect I’ve been playing around with for my jewelry photos too. Now that I’ve started editing, it’s becoming addictive! I [...]

Hmm, what to tell about yesterday’s photo? He’s wearing a frog towel. It’s really cute. And for five minutes after the bath, his face was clean! Here’s a side view:

My Wordless Wednesday post from yesterday shows a freeform pendant I made by partially melting silver scraps. It’s a very organic process in which I fuse and melt bits of wire and sheet until they form a sculptural piece that is interesting to me. Once I have my silver piece, I usually embellish it by [...]

I just discovered Tell Me Thursday, a great blog meme where, on Thursday, you talk about your photo from Wordless Wednesday – brilliant idea! Yesterday’s photo is of a pendant I just finished up a few days ago. It is made from argentium and fine silver with freshwater pearls. Although you can’t see the metalwork [...]
