Finally! Some New Work!

I haven't had much time this summer to work on jewelry. Life and a job seem to get in the way...But my husband and I finally got a chance to get away to our place near Patten Maine (actually his hunting camp that he has built into a pretty nice house). Because I knew he would spend alot of time riding the woods roads and "scouting", I decided to bring all my jewelry supplies, tools and magazines so that I could get some inspiration. He wondered why I had to bring "everything" but I knew that if I left anything behind - that is the very piece I would want of course! I was happy that I did and ended up making 3 necklaces, playing with and trying out some new techniques. I did go out one early morning with him and we saw a female moose and a blue heron!
