What shall I work on tomorrow? I recently completed an amethyst and rhodonite brooch which has a princely swagger to it. Before that, a rose quartz - peridot with a lovely delicate bezel edging (which melts faster than butter) with a charming princess feel.
I've cut the azurite -malachite slab I got at the club show. There's an earth domed one, a broken earth dome and one that I'll call a spear. I'm taking a new approach and setting the broken earth shape with copper. Copper really complements the stone, very earthy and warm. Wonder why it took me so long to embrace this metal.
Tomorrow? Hmm, I'm dying to work on the sheer sheet that was IDed as Californian jade. It is so lovely when the light passes through. I would never have thought stone could resemble fabric. But it needs the right equipment to polish it.
