Just a quick hello to say I am still making jewelry. Like anyone was waiting with bated breath, right?

Anyhoo, the urge to create, like probably everything in life, has the usual ebb and flow, predicated upon the newness of the beads in my stash. Take, for instance, the peach aventurine in the bottom photo, my most recent strand purchase. Look how I found multiple ways to play with it. Such fun!

As for the top photo, save that teeny bit in the left corner, I made every bracelet pictured! Lots of turquoise, of course, some larimar and jade (colored), emerald, quartz, more aventurine, citrine & sodalite, and agate. There aren’t enough days in the week to wear them all, and multiply that number by ten and you probably have all that I’ve made and given as gifts, too.
