Today in the Studio

There is nothing quite as exciting as getting something in the mail! Letters are the very best, but a close second is a box with art supplies.

A box arrived today from Rio Grande. I only placed the order a few days ago, and just paid for regular shipping, so it arrived super fast.

I ordered some new cabochons (red carnelian and green aventurine) some Sterling silver gallery bezels, and some pretty patterned wire for ring shanks.

Here's one of today's creations--

Delivering a Custom Order


Delivered a custom order today--a sterling silver and Chrysoprase ring. Custom orders are always a little stressful, whether it's a painting or jewelry. What if the client doesn't like it?!?! I've never actually had that happen, but I always worry about it. 

An added difficulty on this one was that I had to purchase the stone and the patterned silver. I was worried about ordering the stone without having seen it in person. 
It all turned out perfectly. I delivered the ring today and the client loved it!



I am rereading the Game of Thrones books--had forgotten how much I enjoyed them. I've never watched the show, although I've heard great things about it. Sometimes I like a book so much I don't want to watch a movie or tv series. I feel that way about the Outlander books. Best books ever. Seriously. Haven't had the heart to watch the show, because what if Jamie isn't as awesome in the show as he is in the books?

Also have a new.secret weapon in my cleaning arsenal. Ill write more about that tomorrow.

Hooking up with Paint Party Friday.
