“A lady came to me two days ago with these earrings and asked me if I can make something with them. 

I made an agreement with her - I don't know what the stones are. I'll think of something ...but if I ruin them - that will be OK with her. She agreed.”

After:

“I made this piece in the past year. I had made all the little moth parts, but wasn't sure how to put them together, so I ended up stringing them like beads on heavy beading wire, with turquoise beads in between. I just didn't like the way it worked. The metal pieces would slide back and forth and sometimes you could see the beading wire, sooooo....

...I unstrung it and made a copper wire chain, (each part of the chain is fused together) attaching each piece to a copper link. I'm much happier with it because I know where the pieces are going to fall and I like the copper chain much much better.”

After:

“I finally have one! I made this ring several years ago and it never quite worked.

So I sawed the top off, drilled and torch riveted a quartz drop on blackened chain. I consider it a 'future primitive' pendant and am much happier with it!”
