Hey All,

Been super busy with work, shows, and making new pieces for upcoming shows and have not taking the time to post much so here are a few new ones.

Sodalite with Pink Topaz Accent

Another Sodalite with Black Onyx

Dyed Brazilian with Drusy This one is the Wife's Creation

Boulder Opal with two 3mm blue Sapphires, one 3mm Peridot, and one 3mm Garnet accents

Chrysocolla and Black onyx another one of Carla's

Sodalite with 5mm cultured Blue Sapphire

Rhodocrosite and Black Onyx
This one has a crazy bail that jumps over the onyx cab

Bronzite, Tigers Eye, and Blue goldstone Accent (Carla'a)

Lapis, Labodorite, and Paua Accent (Carla's)

Dyed Brazilan with Drusy, Black onyx, and Hematite Accents (Carla's)

Thanks for looking and hope you enjoyed them.
Should have somemore Boulder Opal ones coming your way soon .

Each is a piece of art! Beautiful work between the two of you and this may sound silly but that first dyed Brazilian with the druzy; made me thing of the opera or when the fat lady sings...sounds strange but it struck me. Maybe that doesn't sound right but it looks elegant and rich and you feel like it sings to you.
Great job!

All of them are original and beautiful, with each scroll down I told to myself "that's the favorite".
So I had to watch them again and choose my real favorites, which are the blue one (the second to last) and the purple one (the third one which I choose dsepite I am not partial to the dyed agates usually, but this one is a real beauty).
Carla has great ideas and taste.

Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.

Thank you all for the comments. The "Twisted Wire Series" as we call it has been very popular, and the new ones where there are multipule stones inside the single wire rim have really been dioing well also. We have been extremly lucky this year at the shows especially seeing this is our first show season in Tennessee. Next year we hope to do 20 shows, or at least see if we can get juried into them anyway.
Well it's off to go mangle up some more silver. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.” —Friedrich Nietzsche
