New Jewelry!

So it's been awhile since my last blog. Finnegan is doing much better now. He's pretty much back to normal except he doesn't run as fast as he use to. I guess he has to let his skin around his left hind leg to stretch out a bit more. I am so glad he is better!
Anyways, here's Quigley wearing what is the beginning of my new jewelry collection. It is inspired by a hornets nest that we found on our old kitchen window. You can see a picture of the actual nest on an old blog. So what Quigley is wearing is wearing is not actually the new jewelry but part of the components. The white square is just a piece of styrofoam that I am using to create clusters to see how they look. The clusters are made from sterling silver cones that are hand crimped to make hexagon shapes and then clustered to make the hornets nest. I think these will be turned into rings and pendants and brooches. Let me know what you think of them.
