To Oxidize or Not?

So, I made this ring...which I think is really pretty

 if I can say so myself...

And I can not seem to be able to decide whether

to oxidized it or not..

Now, I have always been a fan of oxidized silver..

I love how it brings out the beauty of the metal..

But with this ring..well....I just can't seem 

to want to darken it...

The matte silver looks so much better

in real life..the photos do not do it justice...

and the Chrysoprase is just gorgeous!!!

Oh well, I think I will leave it as it is...for now..

What do you think?

In the Mood for Colors

Maybe its the summer, maybe the fact

that the last couple of months (years really)

have been a bit black, if I 

used a color to describe them, my mood

is all about colors; hence the enameling..

and the search for bright, vivid colored cabochons..

It's Been a While

Since my last post *cough* yeah, I know..

I totally neglect my blog..

BUT, here I am now..

The last 4 weeks have been a rhapsody

to pain..appointments with the dentist

and then the orthodontist and vice

versa..the braces are finally on, and

have filled my days with pain..

until now that is..this feeling is supposed

to go away in 2 days, so I wait and wait..

Anyway, the new job is going pretty well,

I have FINALLY found some peace, and

some time to rest, and some time

to spend with my loved ones...things

that were nearly impossible with

my previous job where I had to work 6 days

a week, with night shifts, working

on holidays and Sundays and and and..

BUT all of that is in the past right now..

So, I made a few things and here

they are!

*Scrap Sterling silver melted in a pendant ;) *

*Gorgeous Chrysoprase with Sterling silver*

*Snake Goddess with lots of Silver and a Garnet cabochon*

*Beautiful Owyhee Jasper earrings*

AND last, but surely NOT LEAST a Bracelet

handcrafted by SCRATCH! YES, I made the chain!!!!!!!

Voila!
