THAW52~1

I've told you all about the RAW52 project I'm doing, but I haven't had a chance to tell you about THAW52 yet.

Any guesses what THAW stands for?  :)

 It stands for "Thing a Week".  

 Which, while I do enjoy making rings, appeals to me greatly.

 Because that means I can make my very favorite things, Earrings!!!

And as you can see, I am a week behind, but plan on being caught up just in time to begin week 3!

These are the Aphrodite earrings, in keeping with my red, pink and heart themes that I am enjoying right now. :)

All of the metalwork hand made by me here in my home studio with sterling silver and faceted ruby rondelles.  

I better get back to work!  Shop update tomorrow! :)

RAW52~02 Lacy Valentine Ring

A large Lacy Valentine made with a gorgeous chatoyant heart shaped cab of Orchid Quartz.  Cut by Terry at LostSierra.

The back has the word "love" stamped in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Welsh.  The band is wide, and has the same lace work as the setting, slightly tapered in the center for comfort!

I had hoped to update my shop by today, but it looks like it's going to be Friday!  See you then...

Part of my new rock haul....

Red sponge coral. I'm thinking Valentine's Day!
