I've been working on earrings and necklaces and besides the beautiful creamy pearls I normally use I've made a few pieces with some delightfully shaped freshwater pearls that are barely blue (they also look great with steel wire). I was on such a copper+pearl binge that I am now out of several gauges of copper wire and all but the tiniest pearls.

Tomorrow I'll be working with some lovely smoky crystals and gold wire.

good morning

First thing this morning I opened up the delivery from yesterday and put two of my favourite things together - pearls and copper. These earrings are not very big, about an inch long, the next ones will be longer, and have more pearls.

I have many partially finished pieces right now, but nothing near completion. Plus I keep changing my mind about which way to go with my favourite bits, many of which include pearls and copper wire. I am loving both the copper and steel wires I've been working with lately (and I always love pearls!).

This week I was at a few parties with people I don't see often but whom I adore, it was a great way to start the year. Eating as much fantastic party food as I did, maybe not such a great way to start the year.
