One of my favorite things is working and creating in my studio, but its a very rare summertime activity for me.  I am usually enjoying time with may family because soon enough, everyone will be back in school.  I have been working on a new jewelry collection, combining many mediums like leather, copper, gemstones, pearls and sterling silver.  I just love all the textures, colors and different levels of shine.

I have recently started taking notes on the process writing down directions, sizes of components and even the paint colors I use on my leather.  

The iridescent green fresh water pearls are just gorgeous and will compliment my copper and hand painted leather pieces.  

The finished product is our Leather and Copper Trumpet Vine Motif Earrings with Iridescent Green Freshwater Pearl and Sterling Silver Beads.
