Curtis and I have been working away in our studio getting ready for vendor night at Artfest.
We are so excited to be included as vendors at this inspiring venue of artists.  If you have a desire to travel to an art class venue you should check out Artfest (www.teeshamoore.com).  This will be our 7th year of attending.  We love Seattle and Pt. Townsend so Artfest is just the icing on the cake!

Earrings

Earrings - I like creating them, but it is sometimes very difficult to make items created by nature close enough to be called a pair.  BUT these were really good!

A new pair of earrings in the same idea vein as the pearl and disc necklace I posted before.  I really enjoy texturing the metal... making marks in it to create a more organic surface.

I created this pair of earrings from a long rectangle of sterling silver with fresh water pearls.  Sensing a theme here of silver and pearls?  I do love them!

Necklace for Molly

Two sterling silver pieces with fresh water pearls.  I love "beating up" the metal.  I think the forging was my favorite part of creating these pieces.  My least favorite was riveting the pearls!  My daughter Molly proudly wears the piece in the upper picture.  The other piece will be in the sale at 212 Art Association in December.  Molly encouraged me to create these pieces.  Thanks for the inspiration Molly.
