Mermaid Drops

Watery Blue Teardrop beads, wrapped in fine silver wire and topped with 2 freshwater pearls.

Hung from handmade by me sterling silver french ear wire.

Note to self.....

65 Lb Rolling Mill + Bare Feet = BAD!

The television in the office/studio has left us. Poor thing. It's so old it has a nob. You know, a little turny dial to change the channel and adjust the volume.
Pre-Remote Control.

In fact, it's the TV I watched as a young child at my Grandmother's House.

So 25 years is a pretty good life span for a TV, me thinks.

Rather than move the TV stand, I took the initiative to move my metal smithing equipment off of my floor and onto something a *little* more usable.

It's not an ideal solution, of course, but far better than what it was before.

Plus it frees up about 3 feet of floor space, which means less stubbed toes at 4AM when I come into print shipping labels for overnight orders before heading off to work by 5AM.

Awesome!
