Cobalt Goddess (sold)
A Charming Charm necklace. Looks great choker lenth (as short as you want) and looks stunning hanging it's full 27 inches. Heck it could even be wrapped around the wrist for a killer bracelet. Raku and hand blown glass donuts and focal by Noel, wire wrapped onto a 27 inch long chain with a loster clasp.
Candy Store Bracelets
I have been busy filling the $15 board with bracelets. Here are just a few. When I do a show I have a board of these and a board of simple $25 dollar necklaces, and $7 rings. They pay the booth space.
I make up six of the same design in three different sizes. Even with the extender chain it seems to help. The large ones also double as anklets.

Custom Cabs (sold)
These are two cabs I wire wrapped up for clients. One was in exchange for some lovely Michigan lake rocks (Kitt from http://kittbo.blogspot.com/ ) and the other was for a dear friend who is moving away and she wanted to order it before she left.

Earthy Mother (sold)
This 26 1/2 inch necklace is amazing. It is full of Wild Horse turquoise roundels and labradorite rounds. The rondells start at 17 mm and graduate down to 7 mm behind the neck of the necklace. Two sizes of labrodorite rounds, 6 mm and 8 mm give this piece a nice flow. The attention getting center piece is made from a jade pendant with two fish carved into it and wire wrapped with sterling silver wire. The large clay bead that hangs above the centerpiece is hand formed by an Oregon artist named Dana. The centerpiece hangs down 3 1/4 inches and is 2 inches wide. This will look great this fall and winter over that earth colored turtle neck. It can also be seen in my EBay store at http://www.turquoisemagpie.com/ .

Stone Woman (sold)
Adjustable from 20 1/2 to 26 inches. Sterling wire wrapped extender, bold and surprising. Turquoise, tiger eye, and african picture jasper nestle her in a sea of silver. The clay formed piece is from Clay Jeani. All sterling finding and beads were used.
The picture does not do her justice. The turquoise nugget on the bottom is not overwheming in person and the nugget nestles just below her.
Medusa (sold)

This piece took over. I do not know who it is for but it built itself. It is not something I would usually make. Turquoise, tiger eye, and three hand made clay beads by "Clay Jeani". Is this one yours?
