This is one big and beautiful piece of Lapis Lazuli!!

Thanks for checking in…you all know I do not participate in many shows in the winter months, but this is one I do every year…it is close to home, and I do pretty well.

The Etsy team I belong to, The Aspiring Metalsmith team, has begun a monthly challenge to blog about a specific topic. This month it is to show you our workspace. Anyone that knows me, knows my studio is a mess, and I work well within that mess. I have been “doing” jewelry for 10 years, and have designed with many different techniques. I have thousands of beads and hundreds of cabochons. I am a rock horder, I have loved stones since I was a kid. I am happy to say, I have passed that on to my daughter, Megan.
I have little time to blog today, I just thought I would preface my photos to give you a little understanding of the pictures you are about to view.

Thanks for looking!
