laurieopalThis design was influenced by the Japanese woodblock prints in the ukiyo-e style landscapes from the Edo period. I had some reproductions in my room in my teens.
..
The opal waterfall with turquoise diamonds is in silver. The gorgeous opal is Australian. Size is about 2.75".
It's from the collection of Barb Moermond.
I'm working on a tanzenite ring in silver and a pair of black wedding bands (patined silver).
And I've finished in wax, two very different African malachite pendants. On is a very stylized bird head in silver and the other is in an abstract bronze woven with copper wire. I've been working on them both for a long time, and it was interesting to make different designs from similar malachite from the same part of the world. And different as they are they do talk to each other.
The Chinese phoenix pendant is done and if it photographs well there will be a photo soon.
Sorry I haven't posted in 2 weeks, I've been nibbled to death by largish ducks.
