I got up early and spend the majority of today in my studio. Never seem to be able to stay out of there for long these days. The muse is calling on me constantly which is a good thing isolated, but at times I can't seem to concentrate on doing other things that need to get done.
I had such a great time sitting behind the bench smithing away and  listening to some new albums I had downloaded from iTunes.
It's been a great and productive week for me in my studio!

Today I crafted two turquoise pieces, one chrysocolla, one agate and a pair of gorgeous amber earrings. The earrings took quite some time to make since I filed each pedal's grooves by hand.  They also go well with my amber necklace that is for sale in my Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/listing/56002687/handcrafted-amber-pendant-necklace

I will be listing these starting this evening local time. Not sure if I will manage to post them all since I also need to finish some overdue housework.


How has your week been so far?

Rings'n things

Been a busy little bee these past couple of days, but managed to squeeze in a few rings and a lovely necklace that I finished today for the Etsy shop!

Here we go:


oopsy daisy...moi favorite! Composed from sterling silver and a beautiful red agate cabochon. I'm a bit on a spiritual path jewelry wise and like adding some little inspirational messages or words in forms of tags and such. Sometimes we just need a little reminder that keeps us on track wherever we are going and what better way to remind us to be happy? A piece of lovely jewelry from Sabine Andrea! Yayyyyy! :-) And I haven't even had coffee! ( I rarely drink that stuff ).




I have sketched the design of this ring months ago, but after taking a long walk and looking across the street at the ocean and surrounding valleys and mountains it came clear to me that I need to make this ring before the urge lessens. This ring resembles the waves, valleys and rugged mountains that surround us here in the north of Norway. ûber pretty:-)





This ring has been bezel set with a rough Apatite gemstone. I love the look of combining rough gemstones with precious metals. It gives a piece of jewelry a very cool organic look. Back to basics.




Hand forged ring with a fun circular and scalloped pattern. I'm in love with this one ( as well ) can't help it.



These lovey dovey earrings are made from juicy red coral beads, handmade bead caps and molten, flattened sterling discs. I love these and had to make a pair for myself.




Hope you are all happy and are enjoying some sunshine wherever you are...it is still freezing cold here in the north. Hope the sun will poke through the clouds soon so we can sit outside and bbq.

See ya later!

Love,

Sabine:-)
