semi precious

I was inspired when I went into the city this weekend and met a fellow crafter that also loves working with silver, shells, pearls, and gems. When I got home and I went and did it, i pulled out my jewelry supplies. And I have a lot! Once a year I enter a wonderful event that is in support of local artisans of all make and kinds; crafters, dancers, musicians, clowns, everything you can imagine. It gets bigger each year and hotter too…But this year I decided I should start early and get some of my inventory started.

I named my small business Natural Objects as I work with natural elements, no plastic nor glass. Although I have nothing against those items I just love working with the natural elements of semi precious, stone, shell, coconut, pearl, wood and bone. They hold such a warmth and energy. I usually do primarily jewelry but this year I think I will diversify and bring in more of my sewn objects as well.

I am going to post some newer wire work I have been doing really soon. I can't wait for my camera to work again! Here are some shots of the earrings I made this summer...
