So stinkin' photogenic, Turquoise is.

These babies are so sweet together.

Just listed these this morning in Etsy-Land.






Finally, some Jewelry!!




Not a lot to say about these, except lordy lordy do I love Turquoise.  
It's such a pleasure keeping company with such pretty stones.
They are so much better in person.
These stones seem to have personalities.


Studio time has been lovely.

No, that's an understatement.

Studio time has been just what I have been needing.

*Sigh*

wonderful.

Turquoise invasion!

These babies I just picked up.  And they are a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

The guy I bought them from says they're Tibetan....I am such a sucker for turquoise.

So excited to make some jewels this week...I hope.

I am thinking feathers.  Sterling ones.....



I haven't been much in the studio this week, but managed to whip out some bezels for these awesome rocks. I have picked up a little work doing some landscaping for a friend, and the money is good.  I work all day, in the dirt, and I don't have to talk to anyone if I don't want. 
 Head in the clouds, hands in the dirt.  

The only thing is,  I know I could be doing other things.  Balancing money, work , studio stuff, and the growth of a business is.....well....a full time job.  I'm now whining, and I realize what I am trying to do is great, and rewarding, and fun, and exciting....but damn,  at the end of the day.....I am scared. and stumbling.

I have also received notice of my student loans in repayment as of June 1st.  

Uhhhhhh.....

what.

the.

f.



Tex is hungry.  

And is ready for a break from my tiny studio.

Man,  all I want to do is stay.
Off to the weeds. and the dirt.


Maybe tomorrow I will have something in silver for you!
