Unfinished Business...

I finally finished a few projects this week that have been lying incomplete in my box for a while now, and caught up on some photography. Here goes...


First of all, lots and lots of sterling silver jump rings (my favourite!) and ear wires!





And here we have a couple of sets of connected sterling silver hoops for the new Verde line... love the background!




Yesterday, Danni helped me to finally finish off this pair of pretty gold fill wire wrapped keishi pearl earrings to match the necklace I made months ago! (see first ever blog) There is also a bracelet... so now their happy family is complete :)




And today, I finished these dangly earrings - gold fill and sterling silver wire and chain with pearls and crystals, to match my first ring ever. Here they are together...




...and here are the earrings hanging all alone:




Finally, my very favourite - a sterling silver apatite ring! This is my first stone setting ever, and was very difficult to conquer... which makes me love it more!





Thanks for looking!

I made rings!

This was my first ring project - the "Bamboo Ring" :) Randyl did the really tricky parts, which is why it looks so nice & neat... I did some of the sawing, filing, sanding & texturing.




This one I made all by myself! It was going great up until the soldering part... hence the interesting shape... :) It all worked out great in the end though, mainly thanks to the expert advice of my fabulous mentors!

Snow day! Time for some photography!

Here are some examples of what I've been doing at North over the past month or so...





Multi strand bracelet











Multi-strand necklace madness!





So... the universal filler of awkward silence =) I cut & stamped the metal, Danni soldered it.





First time stamping... word. Also, first time cutting a hole inside a piece of metal. Lots of firsts this week I guess!































Earrings galore!





Super long silk cord knotted pearl necklace...



The end.
