Fine gems were my main stones I'd set. This necklace is peridot set in 14k gold. No shameless plugs here, as I no longer have a bench set up, though I have no problem with techer2 seeking to promote his wife's creations. WOW, I'm not surprised, but terribly disappointed that this has been unacknowledged. You're obviously an accomplished (and excellent) designer . . . great work!!!!

Now, as then, a Shaman of Lineage. Española... I lived in Chimayo for a couple of years, back in 98-99-00. Santa Fe, as I said, much earlier. And in Alb as well, 1200 block of Candelaria. Way earlier, early 70s I lived a'horseback in the Pecos Wilderness and on up the spine of the Sangre de Cristos. I love NM. These days I reside in Sedona, Az.

But yeah, I think he gets a pass here. He's been here a few years, and admits it's a shameless plug. AND it's handmade artisan stuff. I'm okay with it. What confuses me is, there ARE threads for economic woes, right? We have plenty of places to share our triumphs and tribulations: if he'd been posting all along, it might not have seemed so spammy.
Peace,
