Peridot Tree of Life Necklace

I made another tree of life necklace - this one is made with bronze wire.  Bronze wire is a stiffer wire to work with - a lot stiffer than copper.  The colour of bronze is a lovely warm gold that will gradually acquire a brownish patina.  For this particular piece I used tiny peridot stone chips.  I really enjoy making these pendant and I'm sure that I'll be making more - and with bronze - even though my fingers were sore at the end of the project.  Now I need to decide if I'll list it on Etsy or start a dedicated section for these pieces here on my site.  Or, just mix them in with my other necklaces. At the moment I can't decide which...

Anyway, here are some photos of the pendant being made and the finished product.

Pink and Orange Colour Combination

It's probably not often thought of as a colour combination that works, but I absolutely love the colour combination of pink and orange.  I think it's a stunning combination, a bit bold, cheerful, reminds me of summer, a mood booster - and colour does affect your mood.  If you mixed the two colours together you would get pink.....and I love pink too.  I look to nature to find colour pallettes to work with and sometimes I just have to open my back door.  These are the fall berries of Euonymus fortunei.  A happy bit of colour in my fall garden.

Interesting Moss Growing In My Garden

I like an interesting garden, and formal in design doesn't appeal to me.  So, I was excited to discover this unusual type of moss (to me) growing bedside my patio along with my creeping thyme.  One little patch reminds me of very fine broccoli sprouts and the other a juniper ground cover.  It's happily growing and adds a little bit interest to my garden which I enjoy.
