Jasper

Jasper is an impressive gemstone that looks beautiful when used in jewelry.  The appeal of Jasper is in its many interesting colors, patterns, and formations, making each piece unique.  Jasper frequently has a discriptive name from the area in which it is found, such as ocean and rainforest.  Also named for it's color appearance.  Jasper is also thought to promote relaxation and a sense of wholeness. :)  Check out our Jasper selection here on our Dry Gulch Beads and Jewelry Website.

Adventures of "The Hat's Off Challenge"

The creative juices have been flowing, and we've been gathering up our goodies for our most recent endeavor, the "Hat's Off Challenge", sponsered by Beadsong Jewelry.  Just like the Kentucky Derby Hat Parade, there are no rules or limits for this artistic event.

Lots of fun ideas rattling around here, and in the words of Dr. Seuss:
"Think left and think right and think low and think high.  Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try."   :)
