Moss Agate Ring

The past weekend I was able to finish a ring for my friend who had lost a ring many years ago and was able to find a stone that was close to the one she remembered.  The design is simple, clean, and the ring turned out really well.  It was nice to give her something back from her past with something new.

Mom's Birthday Necklace

Pictures of the necklace I made for my Mom for her birthday this past weekend.  The necklace is red creek jasper, copper, fine silver, and sterling silver and is about 23" long.

Warrior Mom

Robin worked in the studio on her latest design "Warrior Mom", as part of Autism awareness for April.  The pendant is a sterling silver puzzle pieces with copper tiger stripes soldered over the top.  It looks very cool and pictures will be posted soon.  I prepped a ring and pendant piece for new bezels and how to make head pins with small flat ends instead of balled.  The first one came out okay and with a little practice I should have it down, pictures to follow once I have it mastered.

Loss of Local Craft Warehouse

Robin went to Craft Warehouse early to see if she could get any supplies and tools, as they are closing in our area.  It was a nice store to get supplies and tools at and will be missed.  She was able to pick up some pliers on sale, but the lines were huge.  The firemarshel had to limiting the people who could enter the building, and Robin had to wait for about an hour just to get in and another hour to check out, so a long morning for her.  I updated some of our records and pricelist for materials.  It is amazing how much silver has gone up.  Purchases from just over a year ago were around seventeen dollars an ounce, now it is almost fourty.  I also created a grid for size reference to be used when photographing jewelry to help the customers know what the actual size is.  I created the template using a work processer and added a picture in the background with "Delightful b Design" logo at the top.

Hillsboro Artwalk

I showed some of my art at the Sports Look Restraunt as part of the Hillsboro Artwalk last night.  Luckily the rain stayed away for the evening and I was able to me some people who enjoy art.  Elizabeth Wisler, an accorsionist, was also there playing music from around the world in many different styles.  It was fun and I made of couple of sales too.  Robin had a busy day with dentist appointment, errands, and watching the boys all evening so I could do the Artwalk.  She was able to work on some sketches of upcoming designs.
