What I'm Wearing Wednesday

Pools of Light.

Another necklace of my Grandmothers I only wear this in spring or summer when it's sunny. These are crystal orbs wrapped with sterling silver. How can you tell real from fake. Here's an interesting fact for you.

You Just need a newspaper… and an orb of quartz…
Set the orb on the paper… get out your reading glasses if you are as old as I am and look at the print… Real Quartz will make the type appear up side down. Glass fails miserably as well as drilled quartz .. The Real thing is not drilled and not glass….

Now I'm not sure why drilled wouldn't appear upside down maybe because it not a true circle??? I'm not about to drill one of these puppies to find out though. :)

What I'm Wearing Wednesday

I took a much needed break as allot is going on. I've started my enameling class currently workong a dish but soon hope to do a pendant, and love it!

I'm also going to subject myself to braces. Invilalign however I will have extra hardware a bite plate tab or something for my upper teeth and brackets on the back molars for bands. It's going to be a long and interesting journey.

In the meantime I feel very summery today in my blue top and grabbed a modern seed bead bracelet I thought would match, well it sorta matches I suppose.

What I'm Wearing Wednesday

Birds! It beautiful and sunny out and the birds are everywhere. Not every morning usualy only the ones where your trying to sleep in we get visted by wild green parrots. There pretty to look at but not to listen too!


Julia named after Julie Andrews who played Victor Victoria, because she had half a mustache, loves to bird watch and will sit in the window and chitter at the birds.

So today I'm wearing my second bird necklace from Fossil brand very modern. Let's hear it for the birds!

What I'm Wearing Wednesday

It's a great day today. The sunshine has just come out and I've been productive this morning. I have a vendor dinner so to dress up I wore one of my nicer Matisse pieces.

I love how subtle the enamel is on this necklace it a clear gold with black.  You would think yellow/gold wouldn't work with copper but it does nicely.
