Long time no post - love this post about opals!

Wow - I've been neglecting my blog!  Right now I'm rearranging my workspace and destashing a LOT of stuff I haven't used in years!  I'm amazed at the things I'm digging up and more amazed at the fact that I kept some of it so long.  Well - I may be neglecting my blog but Sharon of Shazzabeth Creations wrote a wonderful blog post about opals.  She included my oval opal earring stud in her post and I love the information she found about the Aboriginal history of opal.  Here is a picture of those opal stud earrings in my Etsy shop

Red and green flash opal and sterling silver

I used boulder opal in the designs for these two bracelets in my ArtFire studio

2011 is winding down, get ready for 2012!

2011 is winding down and I don't think I'm quite ready for 2012.  November and December were busy months at cserpentDesigns and in my engineering consulting work so I'm taking a little downtime right now.  I'm reshooting pictures on some of my designs to freshen them up online.  I also have some new designs in need of a photo shoot - and hopefully I'll get those taken before the year ends.  Here are some pretty, new pearl post earrings I made.  I just LOVE the lattice setting!  And, even though Christmas is over I wanted to share these wonderful Swarovski crystal snowflake earrings.  I just love the sparkle and they're perfect for your winter wardrobe!

 

Enjoy these last few days of 2011 and I wish you all the best in 2012!
