Well, I just posted some photos to Facebook and figured its ABOUT TIME I get them up here on my long neglected blog.
A couple years ago I launched an earring business.
I've always loved earrings and had an absolute blast when I learned how to make them. "Earrings for Everyday" I call them. I named the business Copper Moose Creations. I went gung ho for a couple years, seeking to sell at festivals and also wholesale to stores. About the same time The Fisherman's photography business was born, I seemed to reach a discouragement phase with the earrings. I transferred my enthusiasm over to his photos and things on the earring front have been dormant ever since. But I have never lost the dream of resurrecting the business. I love the earrings and love making them. Earrings have always been a creative expression for me - whether I bought them or made them. Thoughts of breathing new life into Copper Moose have been flitting through my mind for several months.

In the meantime, I have all these earrings sitting around and I thought I'd show them to you. A sampling of them, at least.
You'll notice in the fourth photo that my Trademark is a real twig on the cards that the earrings hang on. It seems like all my life I've been bringing the outdoors indoors. Baskets full of twigs, branches, pinecones. Rocks. And now, living in the woods, my front porch has a variety of big branches that are just too pretty to leave in the forest or burn in the wood stove. So when I thought of the twig, I was thrilled. It was perfect for me!
Anyway, enjoy looking at some of my Copper Moose earrings.
