Jim's Revenge: Beading Me to a Pulp

As a feverishly purchased my numerous skeins of yarn, Jim smiled and never delivered a complaint. He had a goal in mind; upon our return he hooked up with Ron at the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, Canada). Ron is a retired chemical engineer who electroplates leaves, maple keys, acorns, starfish, sand dollars, and other natural elements with copper, stirling silver and gold. The results are quite beautiful and , obviously, no two pieces are alike. These pieces have lit a fire under Jim, he designed several new pieces, earring pairs and necklaces, with the new trinkets. There are lovely and they got much attention at our booth at the Georgetown Farmer's Market. I'll have to post pics tomorrow as Jim has plans for me to photograph much of the new work so he can update his Earth Candy website.
