We have had snow, rain, and cold this spring. Finally sun and mild weather has graced us. I could smell, touch and taste the pleasures of this past weekend. Friday evening was spent at the Blue Water Grill in the city with my children. At the end of our meal our waitress bought us champagne, earl grey ice cream and a cake with a candle. They knew it was Breann's birthday. The restaurant keys in the phone # you make a reservation with and links it to a registration card you once filled out. There are 15 sister restaurants, so you may not realize as we didn't, that they had any information about us. It was a nice surprise. Saturday I walked around Lambertville with my cousins and we sat outside for dinner at the Hamilton Grill, then watched the sunset over the river.
Mark is not in the pictures for someone had to take them.
I wanted to do some blue green patina's on my pieces this week in anticipation of the warmer weather. The first piece is silver which I sawed, cut and rolled, soldered and the longer bar across the bottom is silver tubing wrapped with copper wire. I used Jack's to Patina.
I used the same techniques with this piece but the copper disc is dapped. The cord is leather. 
The bone on the cord comes from the beaches of Australia, courtesy of Marie. and the cord is woven so the leather can be lengthened.
Love the jewellery Aggie, the patina is fabulous and a bone from Australia. I'll have to keep my eyes open at the beach, I find mainly glass.
