A small capture of Spring/Summer green in 14mm carved aventurine flower. The wonderful frost and coolness of Winter morning and evening skies in AA grade blue chalcedony and labradorite faceted briolettes, captured in an autumn picture frame of 35mm tiger ebony wood square open ring.
Securely hand wire wrapped in sterling silver wire. Pendant hangs from an 18" .925 Sterling silver rolo chain. A pretty artistic expression of all four seasons.
I couldn't bring myself to take this design apart as it is soo beautiful and symbolic of the art I was trying to express.

Meet MorningStarArts.etsy.com, a talented artist!
What Makes you Tick? Taking care of my family, and reading to my boys.
How did you get interested in what you create? My husband started making lampwork beads, and "nagged" me into taking a jewelry making class so I could use up his beads. He no longer lampworks, but I'm absolutely hooked!
What is the last book you read? One of Jodi Picoult's early books, which I'd somehow overlooked--I love all her titles, especially the recent ones, including "My Sister's Keeper" and "19 Minutes".
If we looked in your refrigerator right now, what would we see? Well, it's two days until Thanksgiving, so it's a tightly packed mess! Also hummous, lots of fruit, and tortillas.

Meet essentials.etsy.com, a talented artist on etsy!
What Makes you Tick?
* Hmm. Good friends, good conversation, good food. I enjoy being with people - it allows me to sit down and recharge and remember the nice things about life.
How did you get interested in what you create?
* I sorta fell into it. One day I decided to borrow my dad's pliers and cutters and fiddle with some beads and wire, and I guess that's how it's all started. I only began selling what I make when I realised that no matter how pretty I think something is or how much I liked them, there was no way I could keep everything for myself!
What is the last book you read?
* The Laughter of Dead Kings by Elizabeth Peters. It's the latest in her Vicky Bliss series - I started reading her books since back in high school and have been waiting for eons for this latest book!
If we looked in your refrigerator right now, what would we see?
* 2 bottles of wine, yoghurt, Philadelphia cream cheese, eggs and OJ.

Blog Giveaway from Etsy Featured Seller: waterbucks.etsy.com
Meet waterbucks.etsy.com, a truly talented jeweler!
What Makes you Tick?
People; cultural diversity, rituals, traditions, and romantic sentimentalism. I dig history and how we hold on to it through little insignificant bobbles and scraps of paper. And I'm fascinated by how we can turn something so simple into something so important simply by attaching our emotions to it.
How did you get interested in what you create?
Rocks are amazing. Look at any gemstone and consider were it came from... From the dirt! From in the ground right under our feet! Who hasn't ever bent down to pocket a stone from the beach or mountain top? Throughout history rulers and religious leaders have used stones based on their metaphysical properties, shamans prescribed them for healing, warriors attached them to shields for protection and women wore them for fertility... There is a lot of energy in stones and I enjoy working with them.
What is the last book you read?
All About Lulu written by Jonathan Evison. It's a wonderful weekend read full of humor and coming of age philosophy. The author is a talented local writer. But I must admit that most of my reading these days are of blogs. I'm a bit of a blog addict. haahahahha.
If we looked in your refrigerator right now, what would we see?
Sprouted red quinoa salad from the co-op with pear and macadamia nuts. Yum! I'm working out more lately and as a vegetarian have to be creative in getting extra protein. All sprouts are loaded with protein. I have sprouts coming out my ears these days. lol
What is your favorite quote?
Lately there's been a lot of talk about change and whether on a grand scale or just on my personal bathroom scale this quote keeps coming to the front of my mind to remind me of my responsibility in the process....
"Things do not change; we change." Henry David Thoreau
--------------------------------------------------
