Creating & waiting.

So I've made a few more pieces but I'm waiting for some bezel setting tools to arrive in the mail so that I can set the stones in their bezels. However, Canada Post is taking a long, lovely strike, so alas, I have to wait a little longer. In the meantime, I've still got a bit of sawing, filing, oxidizing and polishing to do! But I'm having the time of my life and learning so much new things!! :)



 Also some pieces (the yellow in the corner) did not turn out.
The bezel wall is too short for the stone so (DOH!).
I'm just learning as I go!
Now to figure out what to do with it! 
But that's also the fun of it! :)



Also my Teepee 
with a paisley vintage button moon:

Inspired by my hometown 
and the upcoming
Aboriginal Day on Tuesday 
which encouraged me to get it started! :)
This was one of my first sketches from 2 months ago! 
I'm so proud to see it come to fruition!
Just need to finish the grass and sawing, filing etc.


All of these pieces need a little extra love and care 
but hopefully I will finish them all soon!

I do hope everybody has a 
wonderful, wonderful weekend!!

    Thank you ladies! I missed 1 more round pendant that needs the glass cab set! But it's all definitely been an enjoyable learning process thus far!! :)
