JOY'S JOYERIA: AUTUMN DAYS BEGIN...A GLORIOUS TIME OF THE YEAR...

JOY'S JOYERIA: AUTUMN DAYS BEGIN...A GLORIOUS TIME OF THE YEAR...

AUTUMN DAYS BEGIN...A GLORIOUS TIME OF THE YEAR...

Welcome to Autumn...and bye-bye to summer....the back terrace is still blooming with wonderful colours and all the nurtured plants continue to give me simple pleasure ...each day I make the circuit..pinching a dead bud off here...admiring the lushness of the still bright green leaves there....
Maxi and Toffe join me on a warmer morning...while I have my tea, toast and newspaper...and I truly consider myself blessed....the stillness of morning let's me collect my toughts...and I face the day with re-newed energy.

Autumn is also the time when I REALLY start again to create some new designs for my necklaces. Just looking and touching the stones I have acquired fills me with inspiration...I like to create a mental image of what pieces will go together...what pendant I will use and then place all the major items into one closed box...to open and sort when I start on a new project.
Sometimes I have a design in mind...more often the stones dictate the 'look' and the final necklace is a product of changes and re-starting until it all feels and looks 'right'.
I am posting a few of the newer ones.....please contact me if you need more information , prices, etc.
