Capturing Light

Remember those huge, gorgeous clear quartz gemstones I was muddling over what to do with a few days back? Well here they are, combined with sparkling Swarovski lead crystal cubes and Gold filled wire spirals and jump rings. Gold and diamonds ~ a timeless classic. The clear quartz seem to capture the sunlight and hold it within...simply breathtaking!

Hand Crafted, Customizable Kaleidoscopes

Another fun thing I do is create kaleidoscopes. They are so beautiful to look at and I love how the views constantly change from the inside. Plus they're lots of fun and bring out the kid in me. This one is for sale in my ETSY store right now.

If you'd like one for yourself in another color or with a specific theme, let me know! I can be reached at bluembrownlee@gmail.com.

Contemplation

I have just recently been on a bead run and picked these beauties up. Huge, faceted, clear-as-water, NATURAL quartz! Yuuuuuummmmy! I'm trying to get inspired (albeit with my dogs growling and tousling underfoot all the time and my daughter coming in the room with her helmet and scooter) and haven't quite gotten up the courage to put them permanently in a piece of jewelry yet. Oh I'm seriously tempted. They remind me of diamonds. And who doesn't like diamonds? Oh the things I could do with these beauties.

The blue stones are completely natural, UNALTERED turquoise - which is very hard to find and very expensive! They are right here from the Sleeping Beauty Mine in Globe, AZ - so of course we get better deals on this premium Sleeping Beauty Turquoise than the rest of you. So there, hehe. They are blue as the sky. Native Americans used to believe Turquoise was a joining of the sea and sky - and how fitting is that? My 2 favorites things, all wrapped up in one stone. I'll definately post pictures when I put these two into some wearable art sometime in the near future. So check back!
