My creative space...

...has been taken over by a small army of silver pebbles...


These wonderful little baubles will be adorning a custom ring I am working on for a very special lady...

...a compliment to this beautiful labradorite...

How gorgeous is that rainbow flash!
This ring began with a sketch...


...then slowly began coming to life...


...the ring band is wide and textured...


...ready for soldering...


...starting to take shape...




Now, it's back to the workbench...


those little pebbles are waiting for me :-)

Pop on over to Kootoyoo to see what other creative people are up to today.
