Sun Dappled

{Sun Dappled - featuring polymer clay large disk beads I made myself while at Heather Powers' Garden Party Bead retreat in May, peacock green seed beads on wire coils and hand patina-ed leaves on brass wires. For sale at www.TesoriTrovati.com}

The trees are filling out nicely around here. It is a good day when there is a bright blue sky with puffs of clouds and a slight breeze as I stroll along the Wisconsin River right outside my office. As I pass the towering oaks their fresh green leaves rustle a greeting as if they recognize you and are welcoming you back from the many months away. Is it weird to wave back or pat the sturdy knobby trunk as you would an old friend? I like to look up through the branches, admiring the way the light filters through the leaves and patterns my path. The birds chirp out a song and mill around on branches swooping down to chase a swarm of bugs at the water's edge for a tasty snack.

I created these earrings in the wee hours last night inspired by just that thought. I have to get myself moving again, but I have now switched my working hours to Fridays off for focusing on my jewelry business. Hopefully the skies will cooperate that day as I think I need some soul-boosting time among the birds and the trees.

I made those polymer clay beads from knowledge I gained from Heather Powers in her Garden Party Bead retreat last month. Notice the little key. Heather made me my own signature cane! So all the beads I made have that little key nestled in someplace. I would like to make more canes as it was such fun but I fear I may have forgotten all the knowledge I learned! I need to get back to trying this out again very soon as it was so much fun! Thank you, Miss Heather, for the inspiration!

Fresh Ivy Leaves

I made a slew of new patina earrings for a show I did on the weekend. I also have a couple wholesale customers that may be interested, but these ones are going into my Etsy shop. I don't think they will last long, so don't wait if you like them.

 I was inspired to make these because of the beautiful weather we have been having. It is starting to feel like Summer and I am certainly ready for it!

Stop by my Etsy Shop to find these and many more earrings...

Copper Leaves

 I had a copper sheet that I had been cutting some crosses out of and I thought, "I wonder what other shape I could just free form?" and then leaves popped in my head. Easy peasy. I also wanted to keep these earthy and chose beads that would keep the feel of that.

I think they would look fab with this collection I made on Polyvore.

Red Garden Party

I covered copper washers with molten metal and embossed them, then soldered filigree flowers.  Tiny carnelians are set in bezel cups for the finishing touch.

 I would love to wear them to a garden party with this fabulous dress! Granted, the shoes would probably only last about 10 minutes!

Art. Life. Love.

Navy Gold and White

THIS dress that I stumbled upon on ModCloth today inspired these beaded earrings. They feature some buri seeds, Lucite, and glass rounds, with some sunshine  yellow silk ties, and hand-cut vintage tin discs. I love this color palette, and the dress is amazing. I might even think about it for my sister's wedding.

These earrings will be available momentarily at my Etsy shop!

Country Chic

Hammered Copper Earrings

Warm weather signals lots of outdoor activities, art fairs, bar-b-ques, graduation parties. . .  you get my drift. Comfortable and fashionable clothes with one of a kind jewelry are in order for these casual events. 

I made these rustic copper earrings with hammered sheet copper, to which I applied a heavy patina. Then I added snippets of copper bezel wire, African copper heishi beads and tiny little aluminum eyelets for contrast.
