I spent the day cleaning and now I’am loving my space…that’s enough… right? lol. I was going to start a new sterling silver jewelry project, but it’s late and i’d rather blog a little and think this project through…I’m already looking at this smokey and lemon quartz briolettes and thinking of the fall colors, although I want something more springy…or just something new…right? I used to work for weeks on the same project…when i was done… i didn’t want any more big projects…just little things… i didn’t realize this was going to be so time consuming… and slightly difficult, but now it takes less than a day to complete one. I’m very excited with the clean cut and the AAA clarity of these smokey quartz briolettes I got from Thailand! It’s going to be fun working with them, and i have a good feeling! (i can’t show photos because i don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I will make a sterling silver necklace/earrings and maybe I will add some Austrian Swarovski crystal drops in a matching color…)
