Fresh of the soldering block a Copper Hare with an engraved Spiral on it's flank cut from sheet metal and a hammered textured Crescent Moon hand cut from Sterling Silver sheet.
Love the look of mixed metals, the warmth of Copper with the coolness of Silver. What do you think?
Hare today gone tomorrow?

That's all for now folks, see you in the field soon :)
Hares are great on jewellery in any season but especially more so at Spring Equinox/Ostara time being the origin of the easter bunny.
I have been busy making some Hare Bracelets in both Copper for it's healing abilities and warm colour and aluminium for it silver colour and tarnish resistant ability.
The Trio of Running Hares with Triskeles came first and then Hares either side of a Triple Moon with Spirals and tiny stars at their feet.
All the bracelets can be inscribed on the inside with a personal message to make them even more special.
You can find them here on my Morning Star Craft website or drop me a message here and let me know what you'd like.
Not a Hare but still to do with Spring and Summer are Bees. This is my pun on Blessed Be with Blessed Bee instead as they should be blessed bzzz
