really beautiful work as always. I detect a little 'lighter' look in these new ones,victoria is ethereal, the copper on the Picasso is a knockout. could go on to name favorite features of all of them, your work is art! sorry there has been hell, but so glad you are back. Have missed your posts.

those are gorgeous. Love them all. The wood hounded from the river is spectacular! the color in the carnelians is so cool. I love the graduated drop forms, must have been difficult to do... earrings and a pendant?
