New pieces

What a lovely Saturday!! The past night was really cold (-10 / -15 C) and we've still got a lot of snow, but the sky is as clear blue as the the sky only gets in early spring and the sun is pouring warmth, with all its might, down upon us.

Yes, I can with absolute certainty say that spring has come! :D

Lately my Muse has gone into some kind of hyper-active drive and she's been throwing ideas in every which direction and I'm scrambling like crazy to keep up. With disappointing result I have to say. There's simply too many ideas. And it's hard to jot down notes while driving. (She's been REALLY active in my car going to and back from work, lately.) I just hope I'll remember the really good ones. Hey... maybe I should get one of those small tape recorders.... what do you call them?? The ones doctors use to take notes. That is actually not a bad idea... *thinking hard*

Anyway - I spent the morning photographing a few new pieces that I've finished during the week and I've got more pieces, about half way done on the way. I'm particularly excited about a pendant with a lovely green-blue Chrysocholla and a rather intricate backside. I've still got some final soldering to do and that will either tip the scales to success or to fiasco. Keep your fingers crossed.

I also got some gorgeous faceted ovals of Lapis Lazuli from my supplier and you can expect a new, modern, shiny ring within short.

Ok, now it's time to go sit in the sun for a few minutes. Hubby and daughter went to the store so I've got the whole house for myself. What better way to use this rare moment, but with a hot cup of freshly made coffee outside in the sun, eh?

Happy Spring everybody!!

Sooo... where exactly DID I put them?

Driving home from work the other day, I got two new great design ideas. And better yet - I built them around stones I already had at home! Like all gemoholics I tend to "need" new gems and cabs whenever I get an idea, but here I was with two great ideas that didn't require me to go on a shopping spree. (A very ambigious feeling though... you want to shop, but at the same time you want to use what you've already got. I guess I'll never figure that one out.)

Anyhoo..... I got home, dashed up to the studio and picked up the box where I knew the stones were. *cough* Yeah.... maybe I should say where I THOUGHT they were. Hmmm.... ok, so ...they weren't where I thought they would be, but there was no need for panic. They had to be there somewhere... hehehehe.... unless they've sprouted legs and took off by themselves. And what are the odds for that happening? Right. So, they had to be there. Somewhere. My eyes travelled over the boxes with stones on the shelf. There they were, somewhere deep within the abyss of my gemstash. I just knew it.

So while I sat there, breathing slowly to calm myself down - not that I was agitated in aaaany way... but just to... you know... focus - my eyes wandered from the shelf to my work table and ... HEUREKA.... there was one! Woot.... my Peaoni pendant is safe. Now.... all I needed to find were the stones for my rings. Yeah.....

Guess you didn't know this, but apparently, stones CAN sprout legs and take off on their own. So if you see them - please send them to me. *grumble grumble*

Ok, so after a few months of contemplating (and closing the Små Blå shop) I've decided to close this blog and move to the Black Daisy Designs blog. I will run both the Black Daisy Designs blog and this one side-by-side for a transit time and then make the final switch later this spring. Make sure you bookmark the BDD blog so you won't miss out on any goodies. ;)

Soooo.... time to start working, huh? Who's going to help me pack?

More riveted stacking rings

Ok, so I've seriously jumped on the whole "stacking-ring-train". I suppose it's the immediate gratification of making somehing pretty, quick! Anyway - I'm very pleased with the riveted rings - they're very simple but the stacking possibilities are endless.

My new fav-combo is the Amazonite and the Apatite along with a couple of basic stackers. Feels fresh and springy with the aqua and green colours!
