Preview Of A Valentine

What will you wear for Valentine's day?  Something red?

Or maybe something blue?  Something very old and rare?

Garnets?  Pearls? Kisses and hugs?  I'm adding things to my Etsy shop for your Valentine pleasure. 

Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Of evening rain,
  Unraveled from the tumbling main,
And threading the eye of a yellow star: -
So many times do I love again.

Your jewelry and the mini series, "The Tudors"--my two favorite means of inspiration for romantic jewelry! Thanks for blogging and most of all, thanks for making the most beautiful jewelry! Sue

I could look at these for hours and still see new details. Gorgeous!

What beautiful pieces as always, Deryn! Wearing one of your amazing pieces of jewelry for Valentine's would sure make the day that much sweeter. :-)

Okay - I thought I loved the red heart best UNTIL I saw that lovely metal one with the Scottish Thistles now I can't decide...{sigh} and I reluctantly came to the conclusion that I won't be able to attend AdornMe after all!!! I am so disappointed! I really REALLY wanted to go! Oh well maybe I will be able to find a class you are teaching in the Fall! Until then my cyber friend I will enjoy your blog and proudly wear Forget-Me-Not! (love that necklace!)

Wow, thanks Deryn. Is the third from the top available to us commoners? I am lusting after it.

Gorgeous as always!

An aside here, maybe it's already been covered and I missed it, eeeek!

I just got the latest issue of Step by Step Wire Jewelry magazine and TA DA! I see you're in it. Congratulations!

And what was really just so great is that you tell how you do 'those' earrings, the collage and wire with resin technique.
I've wanted to know how you do that for, well, ages! And here it is, right at my doorstep, aaaah.....
This is going to be fun. Thank you so much!

Oh Gosh dear friend,

Once again you have created the most incredible pieces. You have such a wonderful gift in creating multiple layers within your pieces and yet they are still very approachable and illicit many different responses from my senses and emotions!

Thank you!! When you share a piece of Art Jewelry I always come away with new lessons learned, renewed inspiration and my need to create ignited!! Oh but I can't tell you how disappointed I am to not be able to take classes at Adorn Me! :( SO you see your generosity in sharing your work becomes even more important to me.

Have a wonderful afternoon filled with making art!
Pattie ;)
