I am super exited about some of my new work. For a while now I have had the desire to take my current style of beads and carry it through to a finished piece of jewelry. It is a desire to see my work to the end. Normally I make a bead and it goes off to a collector or a jeweler who take it to the next step.

Here are a few of the new pieces. The silver is kept really simple to allow the glass to be focus. I will say that silver soldering is a royal pain. I am not used to careful measuring, cutting, filing, cleaning and all that goes with metal work. My hats are of to you full timers.

Any way, here is the work, what do you all think??
