jogging...oh my!!!!




I have had a fun day creating jewelry and then actually jogging twice today...yes...dont faint. Last night i went and made it jogging a whole 13 minutes. I got up this morning determined to do alot better than that. I did a mile and half this morning and then again this evening. I had been walking several miles a day for last 2 months as it was. IF you have pain.....totally recommend making a saleve with arnica and st john wort oil. I keep this on hand all the time and works wonders.

Lampwork horse necklace ....




Starting on some pieces for the holiday season either to sell //barter or trade. This one is over on my other blog.. http://www.tribalbarter.blogspot.com/


I am so drawn to blues in stones. I just finished this lampwork glass horse necklace . I used reconstituted turquoise and blue jasper round beads. I got sidetracked this afternoon with watching Dresden Files and then Blood and Chocolate ( werewolf movie) . Since it is october..must watch some spooky movies...but not too spooky

Jade......




Arent these just stunning...they are all different jade..the purples are a jade from Burma . Cant wait to get them . I am thinking maybe silver to use with the purples and not sure about the greens . I was really pleased with the other jade necklaces i made few weeks ago.They were a Korean jade and the typical dark green I associate most often with jade. Never knew it comes in So many colors....
