Playing some more with potential new designs. 

This time, taking the hand carved bronze beads (I am calling them coral reef beads) and putting them in necklaces.  

And putting various accents with them - in this case a handmade sand dollar in bronze.  

Or for contrast, in blackened steel.

I have been working on some new ways to bring my sculptural bronze pieces to you.  

I have been creating these coral like beads, carving them out in various sizes.  

And arranging them in potential earring designs, on their own or with steel or bronze sea shell accents.  

I am planning to release new pieces in the new year.  But for now, I will keep playing and exploring new designs.

I am loving bronze right now. 

It's warm golden glow goes with almost anything. It's easy to care for and easy to clean - just a wipe with a soft jewelry cloth is all it takes.  

And so versatile:  Dress it up or wear it everyday.   

It has become my go to jewelry.

Today I am out and about. I wanted to wear my copper enamel pendant with this sweater because the colours match almost exactly - coppery and greens and a touch of sea blue.  

But you can see that the piece disappears when worn on top of the sweater.  

So I tried my carved bronze pendant instead. You can see it so much better against the green and patterns!

I think this is the best for both the pendant and the sweater.

With this big blue sweater, I am loving my bronze carved jewelry. They off-set each other nicely.   

The neckline on this sweater makes it easy to wear the larger pendant over top, so it can be seen.  And there is enough room in this bracelet to put it over the sweater as well.  

And then once I remove my glasses, I can really let my hair down!

I find the ocean to be a soothing and forceful muse.  The colours, the creatures, the shapes, the imagery, the lessons.  

Be strong enough to swim against the tide.

It was a beautiful fall day today.  Sunny, and a little on the crisp side.  

The leaves are gorgeous right now.  I had to bring some home and decorate.  

And what is the best jewelry to go with autumn?  Well, I think my bronze necklace is a great match!  

I will be releasing bronze pendants like mine on my website soon.  Want to be the first to know?  Sign up to my email list and become an insider.

I am getting ready to release new jewelry pieces here at Leonajeanne Designs.

A handful of enamelled copper pieces.  

Just waiting for their final touches - either to be put on their necklace or on their earwire.

Then they will be ready for photographs.   The finished products will be listed in my store in a few weeks time for my first launch.

As I age, I become more of myself.  When we are young and starting out in life, we are full of hope, grand ideas and are somewhat gangly, like a colt running for the first time.  

Life has knocked me down more than I care to admit.  And yet, each time I grow stronger from the experience, digging deep into my own treasure chest of hope and skill and finding my way back to the surface again.    

And now, I know I can choose my path:

* I choose elegance - beauty that is graceful in it's simplicity.

* I choose to be bold, spirited, daring - audacious.

My jewelry represents those who choose strength and beauty - those who are Elegantly Audacious.
