Here is an arrow head pendant I made - I like to use stones and colors that are appropriate to the culture that the object comes from - though sometimes I do go wild and use whatever I want - this one is turquoise and coral - which are still very commonly used by Native Americans . . .

I'm pretty sure this tree is going to be for the raffle at the cat show in Houston

(don't worry if the list of people doesn't make sense to you - those are the judges - just be aware of the location and the times 3 to 9 pm on the 7th and 9am to 4pm on the 8th and 9th) Then my friends Kena and Lisa will be selling for me at Middlefaire in Hillsboro on November 8th:

I've been told by many people that my work looks MUCH better in person so I hope to meet some of you in Houston or hear that some of you stopped by Hillsboro!

Here are two trees I finished last night - I really like the one in the geode but that seems to be a personal taste . . .

As you guys saw I got stuck at the car dealership forever yesterday (I think they may have had to drill for the oil for my car - though I can't prove it) - the good part is I brought my jewelry kit with me so at least I had something to do . . .  here are three tree pendants that are the result of said wait . . . I also got the bodies of two large trees done so I'll post pictures of them tomorrow . . .

The last one is a great example of why you should always follow your intuition in art - I pulled out mixed agate, amethyst, and carnelian all the while thinking 'really?  I'm not sure about this, but ok . . .' and it came out great.

Good thing my art is mobile - I just spent 3.5 hours waiting on my car to get some really simple work done - but I got the wire work on two pendants and two free standing trees done!

Here is another tree pendant - this is based on my crystal gem tree - which is one of the most popular ones.  I think it translates well to a pendant.
