I used to be the destashing QUEEN! I mean I would throw everything away, if I didn't like it or didn't feel like it was being used enough, it was outta here. Well some family issues developed over that so I had to back off a little....and ended up backing off just a *tidge* too far! So now I'm back at it......doing the refining, so I can FIND things. Oh FUN! ;/
So, here are a couple of presents I made for Christmas.
The 1st is for my Sister-in-law. This set is made from an Onyx focal and Golden Amozonite accents with handmade, soldered round rings for kicks.
This second necklace I made for my mother. We both have a deep love for birds, especially teeny tiny birds, so I made this for her from sterling silver...uhm, it's harder to do than it looks!

Speaking from a rather lackluster experience with metalsmithing on my end, I can definitely understand how your gift to your mother is much harder than it looks!!
Besides, isn't it a sign of good design to have something that looks simple to do but isn't at all?
It's soo pretty. :)
Hi Laurel,
Sorry for going walkies, I'll try and pop in sometime soon once things calm down (if they ever?!).
I love love love your Mother's necklace!
