Saint James, I like the coot...that is what we call them.  Kort, I would post a katydid who didn't make it, with spider but that is already up somewhere else. Neat shots.

Here are two simple bracelets, part of stock items we put together each year for the "Dogwood Arts Festival" in a larger city not far from here.  The fesvival goes on each year, blooms on time from the dogwood trees or not.  We do tie tacks, pendants, earrrings and now are trying these cuff bracelets.

This is simple jewelry and a simple photo...studio lighting at work is a piece of tissue over a flourescent desk lamp.   The top on is sterling silver with a gold center in the blossom. The lower one is 14k(585)  yellow cuff part with rose (pink gold) blossom, yellow center, green gold leaves.  We put together the gold alloys here in the shop.  Green gold has more silver added and rose gold has more copper.  All are mixed by weight and the karat stays the same with the same weight of pure gold in the mix.  So, there is it.
