It's the season!

I slipped out today to walk on Cannon Beach with our dog, Foxcie. She's 14, and ran like a puppy for about 3 hours. It was raining and smelled fantastic. The Oregon Coast is the place for me. I love everything about it. I'll have to go back after Christmas and get more crab dip at Cranky Sue's - that was the best.

Now it's back to work - I need to make some dragonfly necklaces - a lot of them flew away this past weekend. I'm having a great time meeting all the talented folks at the different shows I'm attending. One of the best parts of being an artist is - other artists.

What do you think of the new freshwater pearls? I made the pendant out of gold-filled wire, peridot and tiny pearls. I made the clasp too.

This is the most eye-catching shade of green.

"Ever Young"

This necklace is white mother-of-pearl beads.

The gold-filled pendant is graced with Swarovski crystals

and delicate pearls.

"Sun & Sea"
