Friday's Family Jewels - Sculptural Jewelry in Copper and Silver

-
Bridget, my very talented and wonderful mother-in-law as you may remember, is always one for experimenting and pushing herself creatively in any way her heart leads. 

This limitless inspiration has yielded some beautiful jewelry, among other things, and today I wanted to show you her Silver and Copper Sculptural items.

Starting with the Copper - the shapes and texture she got when she poured these is just amazing. Celestial feeling and certainly completely unique.
      
Copper Aurora Pendant
Copper Planet Pendant
                           

Silver Sculpture Topaz Brooch 


Her first brooch, this Topaz and Sterling Silver piece is perfect with that scarf, or on your lapel, hat, wherever. 

She simply let the silver lead the way, and came up with a wonderful piece.




Now for the Silver Sculpture Pendants. These are completely one of a kind and unique, from Bridget's own limitless imagination.
Art that you can wear.
       
Olympic Trails Sculpture Pendant
 
Turquoise in the Rough Sculpture Pendant
The mind conjures skies, shapes, scenes, oceans, and animals, and Bridget brings it all to life. 
Dolphin Playground Sterling Silver Pendant

This collection shows a playful side to Bridget, and truly shows what a skilled metal smith she has become. Her bee stamp is the icing on the playful cake.


I have a hard time picking my favorite, because as the mood changes, so does the feelings that each evokes. I do know they all have a special place in a wonderful collection of Sculptural Jewelry from Jewelry by Bridget. 


Which is your favorite?

    I told her brooches are hot right now and that she should make some more, so we will see what she comes up with. I love seeing her try new things.
    And yes, it is great having a clever MIL. I will give her your suggestion for the turquoise in the rough brooch. thanks!

    Copper planet is my favorite. Funny, since I'm always drawn to silver, though I love those pieces as well. What creativity and pushing of limits here, love them all.

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
