Barb's Weblog

Still pretty here, warmer and working along nicely. The only non-jewelry related thing I did today was open the green house and water all the pots then cover it all back up. Usually once or twice a winter is enough to keep the system all working.

Recently I took out an old 'vintage' Barb piece and repolished, cleaned and reset the crystals. Wanna see?


Its a Silver wand about 7 inches long, set with an Arkansas solution quarts at one end (look close! Its almost invisible its so clean and radiant!). On the other end is a cluster of amethyst crystals.
I might take it to the Flower Show.
$500.00.
Not a bit less.
Its so extremely one-of-a-kind its amazing.

Heres some more beads to look at as well!


OK thats it for me today! Off work as of now!

Another chilly day, but pretty out here on the island. Not really cold, and spring feels in the air. Bulbs are putting up shoots all over.

Just over 2 weeks til the NW Flower and Garden Show! I bet the gardeners and growers are wondering if a\everything can be made to bloom by Feb 3rd!

This is one example of a new line of very colorful beads with sterling clasps and shorteners. The lengths are generally long, Some are single strands that can be looped twice around the neck or be worn long.
This is a twisted double.


Lots of color combinations: purples. greens, both, greens with oranfges, blues, teals, you name it.

I might show you another soon!
