The last few days have been a challenge for me, as far as inspiration goes. Cold weather and not feeling great have made the idea of heading out, too far from home, unappealing. Grey skies, brown grass and dried branches, close to home, have already been done and are quickly losing their charm for me so, today I decided to try something different.

Sometime in the next few weeks, I'm going to have to take some photos of the jewelry I make, to post on the internet, so yesterday  I decided to get a head start and pull out a couple of pieces to work with.

These are some of the results...not the best shots for showing the pieces,  as a whole, but kind of fun detail highlights.
