{fresh grass gypsy ring}
{eternal sunshine gypsy ring}thought I'd share some designs I'm working on now. loving the bright spring colors & different shapes. simple, transparent gypsy rings are my new favorite. and rainfall necklaces. I've been oxidizing silver chains & now I'm on the flea market hunt for dramatic, long chains...silver, brass, gold. also thinking about using some dainty, thin red silk thread for chains. stay tuned. new shop updates on etsy soon.
in other life news, jesse & I took a last-minute roadtrip to our homeland (austin, mn). some sad events brought us home but it was really great to get back to our roots & spend quality time with family & friends. we didn't bring the camera, so no pics from this adventure. mr. salty traveled well, if unhappy.
both sets of my grandparents have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary's in the past year. wow, right?! it's so awesome. both had great parties organized by their children, and sadly we were unable to attend them. but we got to participate via phone & pictures later.
we're still loving our new place. mr. salty was extremely happy to be home. space & comfort again. he had to live in a (large) kennel while we were home but had some fun outings on the couch until he peed on it. oops! oh, I've re-commenced my spoon necklace making. working on some custom orders. I forgot how much I enjoy them. it forces me to dig deep for the right combination of words. also working on custom rings, including 2 green alien rings. they've been a challenge but I hope to finish them soon.
it's a rainy day here but I hope it's sunny where you are. yay for saturdays!
