RTB Studio Designs...

Wow, the week has been super busy...and I am looking forward to the weekend. 

Here are a few designs from the studio ~

Although this Gilded Madonna Assemblage Wrap Necklace (3rd in the collection) has Sold...I wanted to share  her with you.  

Thank you Karen for purchasing her!

I adore her and the assembled mix of Aquamarine, Chalcedony, Agate, AB Labradorite, Laramar, Opaline, colorful crystals, vintage rhinestone connectors, vintage rosary chain all hand wrapped with an elegant casted bronze hook front closure.

Another design in the Gilded Collection ~

I love these yummy colors...

they remind me of Fall, which is just around the corner ~

A last design shared is a piece that has been on the workbench for a few months. I loved working with SKL's Iced Enamel in the Raspberry with a touch of Mica Raspberry Flakes and a sprinkling of her Copper Glitter.

Remember to come back on Sunday, September 1st as I will be sharing my exciting news ~

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday weekend!

I wanted to share a few more designs I have been working on these past weeks. I hope you enjoy them... 

Mixed Media & Bridal Jewelry Collage

I thought I would share two of the collage photo's that I created using photo's of my mixed media and bridal jewelry designs.  My technical skills are not up to date and it takes me FOREVER to figure this sort of stuff out ~ I used Picasa to get this far.

I'm off to play a little bit more to see what else I can learn. :)

Shoemakers Kids Go Without Shoes...

No this isn't really a posting of the "Shoemaker and his kids"... As a mixed media jewelry designer, I rarely keep any of my creative pieces for myself. Recently, I made two pieces just for me. I thought I would share them and I hope you like them also! This is my favorite piece. I splurged and used such yummy materials to create this one of a kind necklace. Gorgeous baby pink Baroque pearls hand wired wrapped using vintage oxidized wire. Faceted rock crystal ~ hand embellished by cutting apart ornate bead caps and soldering the pieces to the front and back of the crystals. French spiritual medallion, guilloche rhinestone cross and mother of pearl locket with cross accent all dangle below the crystals. Love it! My favorite chunky faceted Aquamarine gem beads were used with checkerboard faceted rock crystals and two-tone faceted Czech crystals. I found the two vintage metal findings at the flea market ~ where else? :) Sometimes when I can't find the right components, or findings to create with I will make them myself. The soldered connectors I made to join the beads and rock crystals to the double strands. The heart was made using a turquoise heart that I wasn't fond of ~ I foil wrapped, silver soldered and embelished it with a vintage rhinestone finding and various components.

I "heart" this piece!

I've been Published ~ Jewelry Affaire Magazine!

It is an honor to have four of my one of a kind necklaces appear in the Spring 2011 Edition of Jewelry Affaire Magazine!

It is a blessing to be able to express my passion through the creative process!

My heart is full ~
