Backyard surprises

There was a lovely little ladybug in my ornamental grass....

and a porcupine in the apple tree!

Rock hound

I made a monster of a necklace this afternoon. It is about 22" long and very substantial. (I should weigh it and price it per pound!) How come I never found rocks this pretty when I was a kid? Rocks I used... Aquamarine, Cuprite, Chrysocolla, Apatite, Amazonite chips and stick pearls along with accents of square silver seed beads, Cloisonne beads, and a Thai Silver Heart with a Bali Silver clasp.

Canada Day!

Happy Birthday Canada and Happy Anniversary to KDK! It's been 18 years, I don't know if he has done the math yet, but it seems like only yesterday.... ahhhh we were so young then!

So what did I do on our anniversary? I made a bracelet of course! I love the colours of these pearls and was inspired to add some of my lampwork in a 3 strand bracelet. Funkadelic!
