Smokin hot, smokey!

Thought I'd share this little blog post from our 'A thousand Midwest flowers' of this lovely silver clay piece I started 
making while hanging out with Kate Mckinnon!

After wrecking my brand spanking new electric bead reamer, I hand drilled this lovely smokey quartz bead to fit the wide shaft of my silver clay ring to finally complete this lovely flower ring that Kate showed us, what seems a life time ago now! I particularly love the contrast of the patina and non-patina pieces together!












Thanks Kate, I love it, it hasn't left my hand since I finished it!

  1. This is absolutely gorgeous Rach. What sort of stone have you used in this piece? I love that texture on the ring also - is this one of yours - I'd love to know which one it is if you don't mind. xx
