Recently I attended a gem show that comes here once a year. It's not very large and they mostly sell gems.
This year I was surprised when I came across a booth with brass stampings and filigree! If you've visited my store you'll see I use a lot of brass. I had to contain myself and breath because it's so easy to lose yourself and spend a lot of money.
Cathy had so many beautiful stampings,charms and findings. She had items with a blue or green patina and those are my favorite. Also she had fabulous jewelry made from everything that she has to sell.
I have a few of the pieces I purchased pictured along with the jewelry I've made so far. A filigree bracelet with Turquoise accent stones,a cuff made from the picture stamping of a Heron,and a filigree ring with pearl dangles.
The best part of the experience was meeting Cathy. With a booth full of people she found time to ask me several times if she could help me ,she found the items I'd seen in her pieces but couldn't find. Her customer service was excellent! Sweet and helpful!
Here is her website: www.cathysextras.etsy.com

Enjoy and until next time Peace and Love, The Gypsy
