Sterling Silver Etched Heart Necklace
Another heart necklace just in time for Valentine's Day! This one was so much fun to create. I love the etched swirl patterns and the riveted bail, and the pendant looks stunning on the black leather cord with sterling silver findings.
Super Copper Treasury
I love some of the copper pieces included in this treasury. My glass box (bottom row) was chosen because of its copper patina.

Another Red Enameled Heart Necklace
My red enameled heart necklace I posted here on January 6 sold this week (my very first enameled piece! Yay!), so I made another one today ... in time for Valentine's Day. I like the leather necklaces I bought a while back, but replaced the quite inexpensive (chintzy) chain and closures with sterling silver. And added my sterling silver hand forged S-hook.
Then I baked another Crumb Topped Rhubarb dessert this afternoon (see the link on my post on January 10). I invited a tennis buddy for dinner to watch the women's final at the Australian Open. During the night and past couple of days, we have had fairly high winds, so strange noises kept one of my dogs (Sarah) up most of the night ... and that kept me up. I saw my iPad come on during the night with a CNN alert .... unfortunately, I looked and it announced that Victoria Azarenka had defeated Maria Sharapova at the Australian Open. Wow, what a bummer to spoil MY evening, learning the results ahead of time. Tonight I won't make the same mistake, as tomorrow is the men's final. I'll silence all my Apple devices and won't peek!

New Three Etched Hearts Copper Bracelet
I finished work on this bracelet today, and it was such a pleasure to make! It's funny how you get more attached to one piece over another. The etching came out great and the patina brought out the highlights. And I like the three smaller jump rings that connect the hearts and the single jump ring. If you look closely, the three jump rings form a rosette. Cute! And if you continue adding jump rings to that small rosette in the proper order, it forms into a rosette ball! I've done that ... and must remember to make a few for pendants.
