Working on:

• Looking for a way to remove liver of sulfer smell from jewelry. - did some searching - Cristie mentioned

   baking soda bath.  None of my jewelry here smells so I need to try it on a customer that has an item of 

   I made - says it smells like solder but, I'm thinking it's the patina?

 Need to Do:

• Start back in on my hammered and sculptured metal jewelry pieces to build back up my wiped out inventory!

• Goal - add or renew daily to my Studio Jardine Etsy Store.

• Double check to see if girls still want bling - Lisa (yes), Eileen, maybe.

Just Finished:

What a messy gal!

Hey People.... it's been a lot of fun but, this is just getting ridiculous! I've been busting out the jewelry with out doing any straightening, putting away, or organizing things back where they go. Can you tell? Tomorrow's agenda: cook a turkey (no I cannot wait until Thanksgiving) and REALLY clean up my art room!

Aquamarine Earrings - potential customer request

I don't do commission per-say so, when a customer wants something specific that I would like to do I will give them first rights of refusal.  This takes the pressure off of me (and the potential buyer) and I am never disappointed if they decide they do not want to purchase.  It's all good.

Dainty Aquamarine Earrings

stacked chips: $16
chips & and more: $18
includes tax and shipping
