Autumn is in the air Maria Apostolou 8 years ago After an epic hike to the top of Olympus mountain, I’m back feeling completely rejuvenated. The signs of autumn are definitely here: shorter daylight, crisp weather and the first rains after a long dry spell. I always enjoy this time of year. The significantly lower temperature makes working in the studio much easier. The back to school feeling, without actually having to go back to school, makes me want to get organised, plan and think of new projects….it also makes me want to purchase more stones, which is another usual side effect! The labradorite pear cabochons will become a custom pair of earrings. These are a few more custom pieces, finished recently: Blue beryl pendant with labradorite and silk cord. Blue topaz bracelet with waxed linen cord. Macrame pebble pendant with waxed linen cord. Black platinum plated ring, along with the sea urchin ring and turquoise “helios” ring. Blue heart ring and 14k rose gold “pebble” stud earrings. Finishing orders from my Etsy shop. Rose gold plated sterling silver mandala & branch earrings with emeralds. Planning and sketching, always an essential part of the process. Thanks for visiting!
