THE HAUL!
AND HERE’S WHAT CAME HOME WITH ME...
This may be my favorite part.
Back at the studio, I unpack everything and spread out the day’s treasures. Suddenly, what looked like individual purchases at the show begins to look like a collection.
Tiger Eye. Soft greens. Smoky grays. Creams and pearls. Warm metallics. Touches of rust and amber...
Without really planning it, my fall palette had begun to appear.
Now comes the hardest question:
What do I create FIRST?
Some of these gemstones will soon become new Tangled Vine Jewelry designs—and now you’ve gotten a peek at them before I’ve made a single piece.
See the whole Gem Show adventure in Issue 03 of The Vineyard Journal.

And stay tuned...because next time you see some of these stones, they may look very different.
