Good evening, dear meadow larks.
I’m just in from the studio and have a few baubles to show you before I whip up a mean dinner with RW and fluff the nest for a lovely evening at home.
I cast this pendant from a eucalyptus seed pod I found on a rugged beach in Mendocino County, Northern California last summer. It’s solid and has a rich, forget-me-not-weight as it hangs around a neck.
A Lycanidae Necklace built of sterling, 14 carat gold, chalcedony, iolite, garnet and silk worm cocoons. This piece is quirky and elegant.
The wheat stalk in this necklace was cast from wheat I gleaned last summer in the Idaho valley between here and City of Rocks. This necklace also features a bezel set aqua, a HUGE aqua briolette, ruby and labradorite beads. It’s a drop choker and wears weighty and beautifully as it trails down through the lady topographies.
In a few scant hours my wee sister, Toby Beth Georgia, will arrive at The Gables.
I’m going to kiss her face and RW will tease her mercilessly. It’s going to be grand!
Have a beautiful night, one and all!
Gorgeous! Have a lovely night! I am settling down with a kitty and a nearly-all local grilled cheese and devouring those designs…
Hi my dear Ms Plume,
This is a note to inform you that due to excessive awesomeness, I hereby crown you queen of the world for the rest of the day.
Omgoshness…is it terrible that I want them all? But especially the wheat necklace, it makes me salivate (in a good way…not in a creepy way).
Sending you so much love,
xoxoxoxoxo

P.S. I hope the macarons arrived safe and sound and that you enjoy your visit with your sister.
Lady topographies!!! Ahh ha ha ha ha! I LOVE IT! I (of course) LOVE the Eucalyptus pod!!! But then again, Australia is part of me and therefore I love everything Australian. Okay, maybe not UGGS, but anyway, that's a different conversation.
You have been productive! I love it! Those silk worm cocoons are gorgeous…I was excited to see those.
Have fun with your sissy!!!
i love the organic quality to your jewelry 🙂

all these earthy works of silversmithery: it is obvious that you are ready for nature to awaken from her wintery sleep.
[can a girl have TOO MANY plume baubles??]

Love the new designs, and also love that fucsia lip stick you are wearing in your photos! how darling <3

Lovely new creations, Plumey! (I actually typed "creatures" first, but maybe that works as well.)
Have fun with fam!
mmnnnn… I remember that beach. Let's go back.
In other things to say, I'm completely smitten with the casting my friend, COMPLETELY!
would it make you giggle if i told you i have a whole handful of already cast yet unfinished eucalyptus pods here … i hope so, because my smile stretches from here all the way to Idaho!!!
some things are just meant to be.
Xoxo

Oh that wheat necklace makes my heart sing! And on that note I am off to run through the falling rain.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Love them all!
Again, as often before, true talismans, amulets to ward off, to welcome in. These are beautiful. Each is a story one can tell oneself.

Again, I sit and stare in awe at your work. So much beauty, so much imagination. I love every piece more and more the more often I see the post! ^o^
Love the shirt, by the way~ Awesome colors and the texture is spiffy!
God bless~!

Hope you have a fantastic visit with Toby!!
You wouldn't be posting that lovely lovely wheat necklace in the shop any time soon, would you?
