Minerals, gemstones and fossiles

.


This last weekend, I went to the 21th anual fair of minerals, gemstones and fossils. It takes place in my city Porto and although I don't use gemstones in my jewellery work (at least, not yet), I'm always amazed with the textures and colors that you can find in nature. Quite dramatic, huh?
(I bought two penguins and a rhino, as the ones you can see in the last picture. Animals, just can't resist them.)

What am I doing?

I know I've been procrastinating my masters project, but meanwhile I've started some experiments in wax for a new series of rings. What can I do? It's beyond my control.

Take a peek... on a peak :)

Have you ever danced with a gummy giraffe by the moonlight?

After the "I'm All Ears" rings here comes the "Wild Ears" series, just in time for Summer.

The Giraffe Ring is the first of this new series and she's all ears for you.
In spite of her cute looks, she's ready for your wildest secrets... and already available on Etsy :)

My first Etsy Treasury!

Althought I've been featured in a lot of Etsy Treasuries, I had never tried to make one of these themed selections before. This is my first and I'm still learning...

Anyways > Cheers!!

Wishing you all a sweet Christmas!
