Today marks the first day, in over a month, that I have been able to spend an entire day creating in my studio here at Plume Gables. I didn’t forget a thing. I thought I might after so much time away. But when I strolled into my workspace this morning, my hammers were all there, laying about, hanging up on hooks, my spools of chain were glinting in the morning sun and Pinkerton had made a nest of my wire.
SIGH.
Home sweet home. I spent the day mucking about with some projects I had started before the trip up North but
I also took a few hours to experiment with some ideas I sketched out while in Canada. It feels so good to be home, in my home, with nothing to do but create.
Tomorrow I’ll be doing a scheduled shop update. I’m going to try my darndest to begin listing at 4PM MST. I have a date with Emily on the quad in the evening so I thought ending my work day with a little update might be a nice way to start the night. Today I completed:
Pink druzy & sterling silver. ROCK CANDY.
All sterling, hand fabricated hollow form ring.
Chunky Kingman Arizona turquoise & sterling silver.
One more “Fly into Peace Ring” featuring an orange and black hand crafted button set in sterling and crowned with a bird in flight.
I do hope to see you there! I’ll also be releasing some of my ring inventory in shades of blue and purple. Scrumptious!
I’ve got the sun bending down low on the West bench at the moment, my stomach is rumbling terribly and I’m considering having a hot dog for dinner (I LOVE HOT DOGS) but a friend is just strolling in my front gate and I think she’ll probably convince me to whip up a garden salad instead. HUMBUG.
Smooches to you lady birds and gentle beards:
The Plume
:::EDIT:::
HOLY CROW.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the shop update just now!
Whew! I wish I could have recorded my heartbeat. I felt like a hamster on an
exercise wheel!
To all the ladies who were not able to get a piece, hang on! The perfect piece of jewelry will come your way eventually. I say this all the time, but it’s true.
I see it happen all the time!
Love to you all
and sweet dreams!

Oh, I love hot dogs too. My dad was a meat cutter, and always told us horror stories about hot dogs. So I never have more than one a year, really. But my fav dog is from Orange Julius. Do you remember them? I don't remember seeing them in Canada. But speaking of the North, I could go for a Tim Hortons double double and some chocolate Timbits! Swoon!
I hope to see you at the update, but if I miss it, good luck! I'm sure all your pieces will take flight and fly to some lucky folks!
And, by the way, my Selah ring has been a huge hit with everyone that comes into contact with it. I love to take it off and hold it up to the light, so all can see how awesome it is with the cut out on the back. Swoon!
Ohhhh, Im in love with that Rock candy ring, it is gorgeous. Your work is so beautiful. 🙂
We really never do, and never will, forget. I think that any time it's been over a week but you know what? It's in our blood, coursing right alongside the reds and white. This post makes me really, really pleased.
As does the thought of 77 stones.
I can't wait to see magic.
p.s. Rock Candy looks like the 51st state
That hollow form ring is downright splendid! I'm really quite in love with it.
Ohhhhh the rock candy looks DELICIOUS!!!
Come on Verizon and finally let me have internet tonight!
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with tofu-dogs… 🙂 Brilliant invention if you ask me…
Have you ever tried a Pretzel Dog? I promise you won't be dissappointed. I have a slight addiction :o)
The new gems are delightful as always.
It's buffalo dogs for me. Yummy!!! But not as yummy as that turquoise ring! Weeeeellllll….maybe 🙂 Am waiting to see the purples being released! Ok, and the blues. Maybe something in lapis??? I hope I'm not shoppping in the sold section again today 🙂 See you at 4!
Lovin the rock candy ring and I am always a sucker for anything that involves leaves. Gorgeous. Welcome back!
Thanks chickies and on the topic of the hotdog.
I love:
Hebrew National All Beef Franks
Though I have been known to eat tofurky bratwursts…
with the month i've had, it just may be time to finally go out on a plume limb and get one of these rings. i'm not even kidding. it might be the one thing that gets me through to august.
(word verification: "gored." wow.)
loving your new work jillian! that pink druzy ring is to die for.
If ONLY the green cloudy magical ring was a size 8.5/9 it would be MINE! GACK!
so shocked. the hatbox ring is my size! and now it is mine. 🙂
