Fly Away!

I just love wings!  I made these earrings using wings made from azurite, resin and abalone.  You can find them all in my Zibbet shop.

Wings for your ears!

Hearts are pumping!

LOL!  Actually it's more like I'm pumping out hearts.  :)  I'm getting some designs ready for Valentines day or whenever you feel like wearing your heart in your ears.  I'll be showcasing them tomorrow on Facebook (visit cserpentDesigns) and after that they'll be available in my Zibbet shop.

Art Elements 'white' theme reveal

At the beginning of December Claire from the Art Elements team announced that the themed challenge would be 'white'.  To read the original blog post click HERE

White could have been pure, with accents, in various tones or whatever we decided met the theme.  I designed these earrings specifically for the challenge.  

I saw these gorgeous red creek jasper drops in my bead stash and decided they were a perfect start for the theme.  I combined them with these wonderful lampwork beads with various tones of white and splashes of brick red.  I call these Southwestern Snow and they are available for sale HERE.

But as I look at some of my other new creations I think this theme got a hold of my design muse.  White abounds!

We don't get snow in San Diego too often but the white theme has been pervasive this month in my designs.

Last few months of happenings - August and September

I've been a bit remiss in posting but I did have one excuse.  10 days after we returned from our Norway trip I had foot surgery on my left foot.  The same surgery (remove a bone spur on my heel) as on my right foot in 2017.  Needless to say that sidelined me for a while.  Now I'm in the PT and recovery phase which takes months.  Here are a few shots from my post-surgery days.  I'll leave out the pictures of my incision :)  For anyone who has an achilles rupture, Haglunds deformity or bone spur on your heel be sure to check out the Achilles Blog (http://achillesblog.com).  You can get information on the surgery, recovery, things you might need during recovery, rehab, ...  And if you want to document your own surgery/recovery process you can set up a blog.
