No, I'm not dead yet!

You know, life can take some funny turns.  I think we all know that.  I have huge ambitions for my blog here, lots of ideas, funny things I want to write about, and serious ones too.  I am loving my jewelry studio and I am have some modest success with it. 

Here is my latest creation.  Its red and green agate and kyanite with some silver beads.  I found these stones at a local bead show and just fell in love with them.  I now wish I had bought more than just the one strand.  Isn't that how it always goes?   I have more pictures of this piece in my studio http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/3681948  if you want to take a look at it.  I have to admit I think my pictures are starting to improve. 

Pictures are the worst part of selling jewelry on line for me.  I took craptastic pictures when I started but I am improving all the time.   I even know what a light box is now, bonus!  Right now I have two or three pieces made and just waiting for me to take pictures so I can post them.   Frankly it is more fun blogging about pictures than actually taking them.   Well hopes dreams and ambitions are not going to photograph themselves are they?
