Country Girl finally makes an appearance!

Well, Country Girl has finally arrived! I know it took forever for me to get around to finishing this but there just always seems to be something else to do. I’m trying to stay on top of things these days so, with any luck, you’ll see more new things from my tiny little studio.

Country Girl comes in at 4.6 grams of handcrafted fine silver. The thread I used is call Tenara™ (previously Gore-Tex™) and it’s used in a lot of things, including parkas, marine stuff, and even jewelry. It wears so well and is really tough, so it won’t snap or wear out. It has a slick feel to it and because of that, took me a little longer to braid it. But boy does it hang nicely around your neck!

I stuck that little silver bead into the braid just as something extra – I think that was Shauna’s idea, only I can’t remember if she suggested a silver bead or a turquoise one. What do you think? I think it looks good.

Of course, this needed to be part of a set so there are earrings to match. They went through 3 sizes before it was “just right”. Shauna told me they were too small so I tried again. Still too small, she said. At last we were both satisfied with them. I put them on these simple but pretty ear wires. Nothing fancy. I like earrings to move when I’m wearing them and these ear wires make that happen!

So, I’m thinking that it’s Shauna’s turn to throw something on this blog. She’s usually the one who does all of the writing. Things have been really busy around her house lately, though, so once it calms down I’m sure she’ll start pounding on the keyboard again!

Ok, be sure to go visit the site and check out all of the new stuff. Another newsletter will be going out soon with a new discount so you won’t have any reason not to shop till you drop! Until then!
