New Pieces on Etsy this Sunday!

Wow...

its been awhile since Ive posted anything on here. Well...lots of great stuff happening. First off Im reallllllllly excited about my new postal scale. Ahh...the simple things in life. I finally broke down and bought one. The only thing Im not too keen on is I now have to print labels instead of handwriting them. Handwritten looks so much nicer. I will miss that, but the trade off is SO FANTASTIC. No more kids running the halls in the post office and embarrassing me to no end. Im telling you, its such a fiasco sometimes. I dread the dreadful post office. Aaaand, think of the gas Ill be saving! Such a great deal.

Second off....I've been plugging away at the bench. Lots and lots of very pretty pretties have come out of this little shop. You can check them out in the sold section of my shop. 2 of my pieces were also featured in 2 treasuries. Thats always nice! I cant thank everyone enough for the most amazing compliments. It is truly inspiring to recieve such lovely words. I cant thank you enough~

This Sunday evening I will have a nice little posting for you all. You can check it out at http://www.rootedinsilver.etsy.com/

Enjoy my friends!

Just Posted on Etsy!

Here is 3 of 7 pretties that went up for sale in my little bit of Etsy today. Ive got some funky pieces in this bunch. I am totally obsessed with silver dots...can you tell!? Dont worry, Ill be over it in no time and then Ill come up with another obsession.

Foxtails and One Ant....Yikes.

What a week. It started off with my dog waking up with only one eye open. We really didnt really panic because, well, we opened it and his eyeball was still there. He has scratched his eye before and with a little care from us it got better quickly. He is a serious nut case outside with his ball and he always gets himself in a pickle with it. But a day went by and it looked as if it was getting worse. So I took him in Monday morning. You'll never believe this.....the doc pulled out 2 foxtails and a carpenter ant. OUT OF HIS EYELID! How does this happen?? Unreal I tell ya.
I now bring you, Cone Head. Aka Jake.



Good news came though. Mandrels and silver!! I was so excited to get my package. I was very in need of a small mandrel and not so in need of a bracelet mandrel but I got it anyway. I cant wait to get in the shop to make one! Only thing is, I guessed on the tang size. Ooops...hope it fits.



I thought Id also share a couple pretties that came out of the shop this week. Oh how I love this one. It could be a keeper. The stone is just amazing and I sure wish I could have captured it on camera. Its just so much prettier in person. Its a biggin too. 63mm (2.5 inches) from the top of the setting to the bottom.



And last but not least...this spacey thing was made. I dont know how it happend but I definitely got carried away with the dots. Are you just sick of it yet? Hope not because Im not! I love the result. It reminds me of something space like. Or bug like.



Enjoy!

**New Pretties**

I received these beauties today! Im very excited to set them. ;)

Simplicity Ring

Oooh this turned out so nice! What a spectacular piece of turquoise. I was originally making the setting for a necklace and changed my mind half way through. So glad I did because it was definitely meant to be a ring. I have made the band in a way that it sits flush on your finger...not raised up at all. It really makes for a comfortable ring. I have to admit I pranced around the house with this on my finger for about 20 minutes.
