Finally finished my earring, "The Use of Ashes". I've been wanting to make this piece on this theme for myself to wear for almost 15 years and have finally done it! It didn't even take that long to make from start to finish.

I'm sworn to secrecy on my newest project, which is a commission. That is all I can say. No photographs, no details!
In between times, however, I've been making a piece I've been meaning to make for ages: an earring on the acid-folk-psyche song, "The Jeweller" by the band, "Pearls Before Swine". This is going to be a single earring and today I managed to get quite a lot of it made:

Search Engines can not see your images. They can not see color, black and white, in focus, out of focus, or pixelated. They are completely blind to images. They have no vision.

"What should I use for a tag line?"
A very common question posed to ASK Harriete. Tag lines are popular, and like Tagalong Girl Scout cookies, somewhat over rated, and not really good for you.

Signed,
A reader in search for a name!

Working on the very last of the "Beneath the Skin" pieces today. As I was given the metals, the least I can do is try to use them up!
I spent the day cutting out the stand for a bowl:
