			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today it&#8217;s sunny and Spring-like outside. Its hard to be inside the studio. But when I go outside to walk the dog and enjoy the weather I get all sorts of great ideas and I want to curtail my walk to hurry back to the studio. No pleasing me.</p>
<p>I am working on some pieces I&#8217;m excited about. So like the kindergartener I am. Here&#8217;s my show &amp; tell for the day.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Unless otherwise noted this are my quick photos of the work. My photographer does a much better job.</span> <img src='http://carlamfox.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif' alt=':-?' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">First I took my new favorite shape, the Zoa, and made it larger, and worked it on to a simpler, more elegant neckwire. Its hung on 3 strands of stainless steel wire. The hook &amp; eye closure is made to go with the pendant. This particular pendant went home with a wonderful sculptor in Bellevue. I delighted she saw and loved it. Some pieces find the right home quickly.</p>

<div id="attachment_765" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 464px"><img class="size-full wp-image-765 " title="Zoa_multi-strand_nckl" src="http://carlamfox.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Zoa_multi-strand_nckl.jpg" alt="" width="454" height="502" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Zoa multi-strand Pendant</p></div>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p>And while I was at it, I made another Zoa pendant into a box clasp. Or a box clasp into a Zoa pendant. This a new direction for my usually rectangular box clasps. I love these white fresh water pearls.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<div id="attachment_766" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-766" title="Zoa Boxclasp" src="http://carlamfox.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Zoa-Boxclasp1.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="283" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Zoa box clasp &amp; fresh water pearls</p></div>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>This box clasp lead to another idea. What if I made multiple shapes and attached them all together. Would that work?</p>
<p>I think so.<br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<div id="attachment_767" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 411px"><img class="size-full wp-image-767" title="BoxClasp Circles mookaite" src="http://carlamfox.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/BoxClasp-Circles-mookaite.jpg" alt="" width="401" height="361" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Mookaite Jasper with Circles box clasp</p></div>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>The stones in this necklace come from Australia. One doesn&#8217;t see Mookaite often but I&#8217;m quite fond of it.</p>
<p>All these pieces can be seen live and in person at my next show in Scottsdale, Arizona. Come by, say hello, and mention you read this blog and I&#8217;ll give you a gift and maybe a hug.</p>
