Looking forward to this weekend's events--Hillsborough Last Friday and the Creative Hearts Marketplace. I've been working a lot with slate and have many vases, candle holders and business card holders. I have also made some photo holders made out of river and beach stone. Come one, come all!!!!!

An idea I've had brewing for some time came to fruition today: business card holders. I think these will make great unique gifts for colleagues, friends and family. Last week I made my first lamp, which, along with the business card holders, I hope to sell at my next show.

This entire experience (making stone crafts) has really made me think about the concepts of both potential and possibility, especially those we don't expect. More thoughts on this another day, as I need to put my son to bed.

Next Friday

I'm getting ready for this month's Last Friday event. We just returned from a trip up north and I brought home several hundred pounds of stones, so I have lots to inspire me. Check out this vase and necklace, both made from river stone. Also working on more necklaces, some with sterling silver.

A new theme?

Insects...I'm loving the pretty charms I am finding. Here's a clock with a butterfly.

Slate

Found some beautiful slate tile and made this candleholder. Also adding a new necklace that I made this morning.

Dragonflies

Found this beautiful dragonfly charm to add to a vase...with a rhinestone trail.

More necklaces

The bit I use to make vases is about worn out, so I haven't been able to make any more this week. However, I've been able to make plenty of necklaces.

So much fun!
