I am currently calling this series "water Lilies", but I am open to other suggestions. Crafted from stainless steel washers and recycled glass beads, these not only look fabulous, but are very affordable!!
Wow, it's been awhile since I posted any new work! I guess I've been preoccupied with Facebook :-0
Spring is here, and all kinds of flowers are sprouting, even metal ones! These necklaces have a 1 1/2" stainless steel pendant, with a sterling flower motif. The glass bead color combos are just about endless! The above piece is hanging on a 16" sterling chain. $55.00
I'm liking orange these days, and just got these cute orange whiteheart beads. On a leather cord, these necklaces are $38.00.
I have been getting some requests for peace signs, and finally got around to making some. This pendant is a 1 1/4" steel square, with a sterling peace sign overlaid onto it. It is shown here hanging on a gunmetal gray rubber cord, available in 16 or 18" lengths. As shown, or with a black rubber cord, they are $40.00.
This is a 1 1/2" stainless steel washer with a sterling silver overlay. It is a piece in my new series, and has all kinds of 'three ring' themes going on. Strung on a rubber cord with a sterling silver lobster clasp, $36.00. This piece is also available on a steel cable($40.00), sterling snake chain($55.00), or steel ball chain($32.00).
Coming up March 13 at The Jerome Artists' Cooperative Gallery: "Three Ring Circus" A featured artist show including the works of Ellen Jo Roberts, Christy Fisher, and me.
The above bracelet is mild steel with 14K and sterling overlays. The rectangles are made from 1/2" flat bar stock, and are about 5/8' long. I have coated the whole bracelet with wax to preserve the finish, and keep the steel from rusting. Approx. 7 3/4" long $275.00
This necklace has forged steel links, and a pendant that's 1 1/4"x 1 1/2" Steel and sterling. $150.00
I like to call this pendant "Live out Loud", as it looks like an exclamation point to me. It is mild steel, stainless steel, and sterling. The circle is an inch in diameter. This piece hangs on a sterling snake chain, but it could also be made on a rubber cord. $90.00
These earrings are forged out of 1/4" round steel stock. I like the way the edges are kind of wavy. With the round stock, I am able to keep the earrings at a wearable weight. The rectangles are about 1/2" x 3/4" and are overlaid with sterling. Also available with a 14K overlay, copper, or a combination.....as shown, $36.00
Yesterday was Valentine's Day, so I was in heart mode there for awhile. This one is about 3/4" square, and hangs on a steel ball chain. I like to include symbolism in my work, and as well as being the Universal symbol of love, the heart is a West African Andinkra symbol for patience and tolerance. I love that! $32.00 on a steel ball chain as shown. Also available on a rubber cord($36.00), steel cable($40.00) or a sterling snake chain($55.00)
After watching a blacksmithing demo that included some forge welded overlays, I was inspired to make these pendants. I soldered some square silver wire onto some steel bar stock, then hammered the silver flat. I love the look!! All four of these were made with 3/4" wide stock. The rectangles are 3/4"x1". They are hanging on steel ball chains and rubber cords. $32.00 on the chain, and $36.00 on a rubber cord.

Sterling and steel make these simple pieces easy to wear with anything, all the time! $42.00
Hand forged steel spirals hang on an adjustable cotton cord and are accented with recycled glass beads. The adjustable cord makes these necklaces perfect for a variety of necklines, and are a good size for the younger crowd. $14.00 Small hearts are also available.
These bracelets are on adjustable cotton cords, so they'll fit just about any wrist. With recycled glass bead accents, these make great teacher gifts! Also a rgeat gift for the man who likes bracelets. $15.00
This is the second necklace of this nature. I keep having the Sesame St song in my head..."one of these things is not like the other one".... Forged steel and silver, on a stainless steel cable $700.00
Pink is representative of love, while green is for growth or abundance. The 'eye' beads are a symbol of protection. $20.00 with one bead charm.
Black and white can represent balance(yin/yang). These colors can also be seen in the silver/steel combo. $35.00 with one bead charm and wrapped silver.
Blue is a nice peaceful color, and can help to focus one's attention on CALM. Brown is grounding, and also a combination of colors. $40.00 with three bead charms and silver accents. $25.00 with just the bead accents. I can spread them evenly around the bangle too.
The moon can represent many things. Female energy is just one thing that comes to mind.
Again, the puzzle piece, which is the logo for Autism Awareness, but can also mean many other things for the wearer..putting one's life together, mysteries of life, or I like jigsaw puzzles :-)
I also made some bangles with no charms that look awesome stacked together, or in combination with the charmed bangles. Plain steel bangles are $15.00 each. Yes, I said $15.00!!! With the silver accents, they're $35.00 each OMG Can you stand it? I love being able to make affordable art!
I coat the steel with wax to prevent rusting, and it will also prevent tarnish on the silver. The steel makes a great jingling sound with the silver. The first time I wore one, I kept thinking the cat was nearby with his jingling tags...;-)
A long time friend of mine has a child with autism, and started a Foundation to support families with children who share this mysterious, and often misunderstood condition. The puzzle piece is a symbol for autism. i have designed some sterling sliver puzzle piece necklaces to support these families, and The Bridges for Autism Foundation. For each necklace purchased, I will donate $20.00 from the purchase price of $40.00 to the Bridges for Autism Foundation. For more info on the Foundation, visit their site at http://www.bridgesforautismfoundation.org/.
BRDPDSM2 Beach rock on top and red rock on the bottom. $65.00 each
This silver flower is fabricated out of square wire that I bend, cut, solder, file and sand, until it all comes together. It's strung on a leather cord with recycled glass beads from Africa as accents. The color choices hang above the necklace, and are from left to right: Bright blue, Bali blue, light blue, light brown, dark brown, green, and black. Real life colors will vary from the computer screen, but they are all nice, and slightly more subdued. WFPD-$45.00 also avaliable on a silver ball chain without beads for $60.00. 1.25" dia.
Descriptions of these pendants can be found in the the next post. I had to shoot with the different background though. 
These too, are in the older post next to this one.
Here is another Rock Goddess. They have been quite popular. This one is going to The Enchantment Resort in Sedona. She is 4" long, with a Sedona red rock head and an Alaska rock body. I create them by selecting the shapes that go the best together, with one usually being a red rock. Each one is truly unique, and has her own distinct personality. OKGPD-$175.00
I stamp ROCK GODDESS on the back, unless someone wants a different message.
These pendants have been really popular all over the place! They are on the smaller side, about 1"-1.5" in diameter, and hang on sterling ball chains. I stamp various little messages on the back, like: LOVE, PEACE, NOW, or my personal fave-ROCK ON. Kinda punny, huh :-) The shapes and colors of the rocks vary greatly, but you may specify red rocks, dark or light beach rocks. I would be thrilled to put a personal message or name on one for you! Click on the photos to enlarge them. The codes for these BSRPDSM2 and BSRPDSM1. 2 is for the rectangular rays, and 1 is for the triangular rays. $65.00 each
These necklaces have also been good sellers. They are bigger than the ones above, but still are nice for every day wear. The suns range in size from 1.75"-2.5". With more room on the back, I stamp longer messages: PEACE LOVE SUNSHINE, LET YOUR SOUL SHINE , LIVE OUT LOUD, etc... They are strung on a leather cord, about 18" long. I also include various bead accents. I have a good assortment of beads(I always include recycled glass from Africa), black and brown leather, and usually pick what I feel like on any given day. The color of the rocks help me choose. You may specify a general color theme and I will make it happen in a beautiful way. $95.00 each. Oh the codes are BSRPD2 and BSRPD1. 
These bracelets are really comfy to wear, because the connecting jumprings lay flat against your wrist. Messages are stamped on each stone, so I try and stick with a theme. EARTH AIR FIRE WATER LOVE, LIVE LOVE LAUGH DREAM CREATE, LIFE IS NOW.
The above earrings are all available with either red rocks or beach rocks(light or dark).
I thought this pin looked like a shooting star, so I stamped "wish" on the back of the bezel. I think the rock is fossilized coral. Or maybe its a moon rock or a meteorite...
