Filigree work !

My mom had shown me a pin she bought close to where I live. It's a filigree pin that is worn in Norway and is well known there as a special type of work they wear with their Norwegian type outfits. So I wanted to learn how to make some filigree work myself and get better at it. I asked for a neat book for Christmas and my loving sister gave it to me as a gift.I just love it and when we were waiting at the hospital for Kevin's test results which took 5 hours to get done, I started sketching out some designs to make when I got home. My first one was this one made with Obsidian and Carnelian and I love it !

then I moved on to hearts for Valentines day. I made three of them.

I'm really enjoying them ! Today I think I will make a horse and a couple other designs that I have come up with. They can all be found in my shop www.ShireJewelry.etsy.com Please let me know if you like them ! I find it alot of fun to make !

Busy spring work.

I've been trying hard to keep working some every day in hope that after a while my shop will be found by people and will do well. I love what I do and hope to continue. I'll be adding more each week and soon there will be halter tags for horses and dog and cat tags that have a decorative flair. I hope you enjoy the new work as much as I love making it. Laurie L., thanks for being my first groupie ! I love that you came back more than once to purchase something ! I wanted to send you a little something extra and the tag was a great idea. May Bella wear it well.
