An entire month's worth...

Egads! Has it been a month since my last post? Why, that's 4 new brooches! 
A month ago I had a small window of opportunity wedged between house guests going and coming. It was clearly the moment to cut up the old cookie tin I had stashed away for just such an emergency...

Don't let the heart fool you, those "ruffles" could put an eye out... Brooch #31

Pretty rudimentary, but quick!
These next three brooches took a bit more time...


Fordite set in sterling silver with 14kt gold balls dancing around the edges. Brooch #32. I have some other interesting fordite jewelry in the shop as well... For some reason I always think of The Jetson's when I see fordite...


Brooch #33 is a variation on brooch #10. Here I've added a pink tourmaline and a few more gold balls to dress it up.


Finally, brooch #34, a nice piece of fossil coral from Indonesia, and an extra lustrous coin pearl.


I'm thinking about this week's brooch and am not ashamed to admit that I have no clue yet...

    1. Your eye for color and form defies the imagination. At least it defies mine! Hope all is well if not good down south....
