Carnelian and peach aventurine heart and silver pendant
This year, for some reason, I did quite well with sales from October through December – more so than in previous years.

I promised myself to squirrel away some of the profits and treat myself to a little sterling silver wire. Usually my profits go straight into bills and other necessities of life.

A woven bracelet I already made in copper
I didn’t buy a lot (those bills kept haunting me) but I did manage to make a few pieces of jewelry. Afraid to make anything unfamiliar and possibly ruin my precious wire, I stayed with designs I was comfortable with.
I still have some wire left and here is what I made.
