Shells & Grout

On a whim and a prayer, we decided to DIY a stone patio off the front of the house (and my studio). One year later (after a redo of a stone wall) we can almost taste the wine we'll be sipping from the bistro table (that I still need to buy) for the aforementioned patio. Today, as we were grouting the steps, we decided to have the kids stick in little shells and stones that we've collected over our travels.

Adjustable bangles and rings

I've been playing around with a design for adjustable bangle bracelets and rings. Here's my latest design. I think it's working for me. Now, if my order of gemstones would just arrive... I'm ready to make them in a rainbow of colors.
