Everything's Coming Up Roses

Seattle gray skies are getting me down lately and I yearn to see flowers bloom. Until then, I've made a few of my own with these new items. A ring and a pair of earrings with rosettes, chalcedony and lavender cz's. They match the brooch I made last week. Someday the rains will stop, the sun will appear and flowers will bloom again... at least I can dream.

Lean On Me

It's Valentines Day this week! A day to tell loved ones how much we appreciate and care for them. I created this brooch as a tribute to true friends. Each vine supporting the other, helping each other to grow and stand tall. As I was creating this, the song "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers kept playing through my head. I'll admit to breaking into song several times during its' creation. More photos in my etsy shop here.

Here's a recording of Bill Withers singing "Lean On Me".
