RC studio ~ bead sourcing

Today was spent sourcing new beads at a show in Santa Monica & then quick trip to Berger Beads downtown. I got a taco downtown that was delicious, a very successful day all in all. Except for the evil Russian lady dressed in gypsy attire who tried to sell me 20 brass jump rings for $40, then attempted to strong arm me when I declared I was no sucker. Yea right I could get sterling silver ones at that price. Luckily things perked right back up when I found my old friend with his dazzling Bi-color citrines. He always has the best quality gems, is honest and priced competitively. I spent my whole month's alloted supply funds on his sparkling beauties in less than 20 minutes, but as you can see below it was worth it~ blue topaz, garnets, citrines, moonstones, turquoise skulls....

RC studio ~ seahorse pendants galore

The holidays are fast approaching, so I have been up every morning long before the sun gets up to make new jewelry. I love getting up at 5am and creating in silence, it's feels like no one else is on the earth and nothing is important, besides creating of course! Just me and my mind get a chance to hang out and with work, life, stress, etc. that doesn't happen to often. So it's nice to relax + create and being well prepared for the Holiday Season doesn't hurt either. :) Please feel free to leave some feedback on the start of my new seahorse necklaces below.

RC Studio ~ early morning creations

I like waking up early before the rest of the world, it's the most inspiring and productive time of the day for me. I would have been a good farmer. Below are the beginning of new bee earrings.


Here are the last of my porthole belt buckles before I switch to zinc portholes. They will be lighter, I am excited to try and make brooches from the zinc buckles too!
