Happy New Year!

Resolution: to enhance my jewelry making skills and do at least 1 local artisan craft fair :)


First & second purchase round of beads.





















Home-leathered black bear hide charm. This is 1 of 7 charms I made from several small remnants cut from the bear hide hat my hubby & I are working on. It is detailed with one wild turkey and one pheasant feather. And, obviously, beads from the above photo. This piece, the largest scrap of the bunch, became a Christmas gift for my mom.




Another favorite. Green and purple jasper chip beads with copper spacers. Pheasant feathers.








Prototype & new-and-improved claw attachers.
