Happy Maker Monday!

... my series of posts where I feature something the daughter or I are working on,

and encourage the maker lifestyle.

It's been a very strange Monday... which somehow involved me taking a very long nap.

But this weekend, I was able to do some work in the studio.

These earrings feature pieces I was able to salvage from a broken piece of jewelry.

I love the trillion cut Peridot stones and Aquamarines.

This all-sterling necklace features a gemstone cut Colombian Emerald that I bought 20yrs ago,

and never found the right setting for it. It has a magnetic clasp, and is 16 inches long.

It is tiny, but mighty in color... and exquisite.

And these earrings are made from some findings that were included in a cabinet I bought several years ago. I don't often work with gold, but these seemed to be just right...

Hope you are all being creative this week.... see you all tomorrow.
