Another Beautiful Market Day!

We had another beautiful sunny Market day this past Saturday, a little cool for this time of year, but I'm not complaining!

The entertainment this week was Stack of Barley, a huge success with the Market goers! Below they are warming up first thing...


People gathered around to listen to them most of the morning...they did some Irish tunes that had people clapping...
Below is a pair of earrings that I hammered with the new square hammer, I like the detailing. The gemstone is topaz...I'm a fan of sodalite vs lapis... sodalite is a deeper darker blue, while lapis is rather pale...this lovely necklace is part of my Heart & Stroke collection...as always once sold a donation will be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

Yes this is my hand...modeling my fine silver rings...I've been doing some fusing and rather enjoy it...I can do rings resonably well but I would like to make a bangle and for some reason I can't seem to get it to fuse...will have to practice more I guess!


Cheers!

Bangles, Bangles and more Bangle!

I've been playing...

I recently purchased two new hammers, well three but I'm not thrilled with the third...the two below are very handy little tools...they are two sided, with interesting detail! I've made earrings as well but haven't taken photos of them yet...


The first two bangles were textured with these hammers...


The next two bangles have been textured with stamps...of course the starfish is my favorite!!!

Cheers
