Moving, Moving, Moving

My apologies if I haven't been by as of late, I'm frantically packing and trying to get moved.  It's a little, no it's very unsettling to be moving away again!  Last time I left Albuquerque or the area was in 1982, so it feels very strange to be picking up and moving at this stage of the game.   But, I am hoping it is a very good thing - Hopefully I will be around off and on for the next few weeks even tho my shops will still be in "vacation mode" .  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Gray Scales Pendant Necklace is a sweet and unique pendant. 

I just had to include this Santa Fe Surprise Necklace.  I'd have those cool curly wire pieces all over the place, but these are so nicely done.

HAF FEATURED ARTISAN A TOUCH OF GLASS JEWELRY

The very first time I saw one of Brenda's pendants I was in awe.
They are glass, they are unique and beautifully made, you have a little piece of art to wear with each and every one of her pendants or brooches.

She employs several different ways of making her stunning creations, some  are painted on the glass, while others are created with images of her original art work that are adhered to a domino.  Either way, they are very very cool.

 Brenda also fashions some very pretty earrings and has recently introduced a new line of "SNOOKS" (Sweet Novel One of Kind Sensations) created with her handpainted faces and found bits of jewelry that become a whole new creation with this artisans skillful hands.


You can find Brenda's fabulous creations at A Touch of Glass Jewelry on Artfire, Etsy and her  very cool blog.

Have fun exploring this lovely artisans fantastic work!
