I like shiny things. I also like beer, my dog, motorcycles, and nature.

My creative process works a lot like making stew. Put lots of yummy things in and, eventually, something wonderful comes out. These posts represent a cross section of what goes in.

Welcome to the streaming consciousness of Andrea Robinson, gemologist and silversmith.

    A thoughtful question often goes directly to the heart of the matter and ignites the creative mind to newer greater ideas.

Evidence of my soldering chops. This ring got caught on something (I assume) and everything stayed together. I even managed to get the stone realigned properly. Sweet.
