Lucky Me!






Here is the other necklace I wore on my vacation. It's modern jewelry and is Lucky Brand. Purchased at one of my favorite places to go Nordstroms Rack. It was of course the center black stone that looks like rock candy that caught my eye. And below is me wearing it though you can't see it very well. Yes even camping out in the desert you can glam it up.

The Last Project

The last project I did with enamel was using sterling silver and creating a design  using flux. Flux = creating a see through type of enamel instead of solid. What I had to to do was with say the solid light blue I take the blue enamel glass and swirl it in the water then lightly stir, as to not to stir too much off but just the white foggy glass powder. You do this until you think you have for lack of a better word clean and clear glass powder. Then you fire it. 

I love the design and I think water, earth, air. Yes I will wear this.

Scrabble and Vacation



Yes I'm back from the big vacation at Burning Man. Why do I go? Besides the fact my husband goes, to see friends I don't get to see often from out of state is one reason.

One friend who I only see a few times a year made me the scrabble necklace and did the face painting you see above.

I also go for the art and inspiration. Here a few images from I took. I must at some point take a photography class.
