\"veru<\/a>Some days, you just want things simple. You know … you head off to the studio or to work and you hope for\u00a0something that is not going to bend your brain or make you feel all beat up and worn out when you’re done, even if it is successful. Some days, you just want to take it easy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can do this in the studio any time and, regardless of your simple approach, you can still get\u00a0stunning results. The funny thing is, you can set aside all the complex techniques and the tricky materials and you may still end up making something that takes you all day.

<\/p>\n

You\u00a0can see some great close up views of this piece as well as its inspiration\u00a0and\u00a0a “how I made it” video on her blog<\/a>. Also stop to take a look at\u00a0her interesting approach to marketing herself and her jewelry on her website here<\/a> .<\/p>\n
