PUT A RING ON IT

Rings & Earrings - remarkable original works of wearable art that always look and feel just right. The rings below showcase Kingman Turquoise cut by Jeff Hansen, Tucson, AZ. Rings are substantial and comfortably fit middle or index finger. One ring is surrounded by signature accents rope and longhorn; the other surrounded by feathers. Speaking of feathers - my sterling silver earrings are light as a feather and are also very comfortable.

left: “Home On The Range” a stunning Kingman Mohave Turquoise with brass infusion is set in sterling silver with sterling silver accents. right: “Lesson’s Learned” a Kingman Mohave stone is set in sterling silver with sterling silver accents.

Both rings size 8 - return for full refund if not a perfect fit.

left: “Hope & Freedom” sterling silver earrings with wire hooks measure 2½" x ¾". The feather is known to represent strength & growth as well as hope & freedom. right: "A Mission" sterling silver mission cross floats on sterling silver die-cut patterned earrings with wire hooks and measure 1½" x 1½". Earrings are lightweight/easy wear.

Embossed Earrings - it’s a Process

A die is described as an object that gives its form to another object - like a gelatin or butter mold. In jewelry making, a sheet of sterling silver is cut and shaped by pressing together two steel dies to create a raised pattern - a technique known as embossing. Matching designs are used - the one designed in relief fits into a die that has the design hollowed out.

left: "Cross" die stamped embossed sterling silver post earrings measure 2¾" x 1½". right: "Small Cross" die stamped embossed sterling silver post earrings measure 2¼" x 1". Earrings are lightweight/easy wear.

left: "Oval" die stamped embossed sterling silver post earrings measure 3½" x 1½". right: "Mission Cross" die stamped patterned sterling silver post earrings measure 2¼" x 1½" . Earrings are lightweight/easy wear.

The Solitary Stone

A bracelet – a cuff – a wrist ornament that holds another showpiece – the solitary stone. A work of wearable art that is admired – at a glance – especially by the wearer.  

“All The Light We Cannot See” flashes a Mohave Turquoise in one of my favorite color combinations: turquoise and copper with a touch of purple. Surrounded by sterling silver twisted rope and accents, stone is set in a copper embossed textured bracelet measuring 1" at its widest.  This very comfortable to wear piece fits an average 6" size wrist.

One of my stonecutters, Jason Brousseau, explained the Mohave Stone as composite materials in turquoise, green or purple. At the Kingman Mine, they take all the turquoise scraps and recycle them. They stabilize them, dye them, mix them with a bronze matrix and compress them into blocks so lapidary artists can cut cabs. It's beautiful stuff.

Rave reviews from Facebook followers: Cindy Townsend – That combination is gorgeous!!  Bonnie Gier Strasburger – This is just breathtaking!  Carol Akers – So beautiful, reminds me of the desert.  Jeanne Snider Bennett – Drop dead beautiful!!!  Lori Devlin - Oh my! Your bracelets are lovely!  Georgia Marshall – Oh this is a beauty!!!  Virginia B. Smith – Simply beautiful. Bonnie Bass Rigdon – Gorgeous!

A plain sheet of sterling silver holds all possibilities!  “Liberty” cuff features a centerpiece of oval onyx in a bezel setting on a 1" wide sterling silver hand-stamped band that fits an average 6" size wrist.

The Onyx stone is thought to have a restorative nature – like the stillness of the night sky – inspiring feelings of personal power – dispelling self-doubt and anxiety for a richer, more meaningful life experience.

“Plateau Of Dreams” showcases a #8 Turquoise stone cut by Jason Brousseau, NM. The famous #8 Mine is one of the greater American Mines located in Eureka County just north of Carlin, Nevada. Stone is set on a sterling silver roller printed platform bracelet measuring 2" x 1½" with sterling silver accents.

Followers enthusiastic praise: Kelli Brewer – Beautiful.  Gaynor Edwards – Lovely piece!  Teri Higgs – AWESOME   Barbara Greenwood – Gorgeous bracelet.  Barbara Hunter – Love this.

A solitary stone set in sterling silver creates a solid show-off statement piece.

Longhorn: living symbol of the old west

Remembering a dear friend, Raymond Henney. Some years ago, Raymond saw my High Desert Creations full-page advertisement in Southwest Art Magazine. He called just to tell me what I was doing was a unique, rustic style – and to not change what I was doing. After that he called me quite often to talk arts, and to find out what I was currently working on. Talk about an encouraging, inspiring man. A man who appreciated the old west.

This is one of the last photos taken of Raymond in late 2020 – still wearing a pendant I’d made for him. Raymond owned several businesses in Stockton, CA and he often used the Longhorn as a logo.

And as the owner of Henney Gallery, Raymond followed his passion. He loved art – had an eye for art – and especially enjoyed art house auctions.

Remembering Raymond Henney. I never met him, and felt I lost a dear friend. 

Intensely Lovely Lapis

Lapis Lazuli is known as a stone of wisdom, intuition and truth. It has endless connections to ancient cultures/civilizations across time and space.

Italy: Ground and processed into powder, it produced the intense, but expensive, ultramarine color favored by the painter, Michelangelo.

Japan: Buddhists recommended Lapis as a stone to bring inner peace and freedom from negative thought

England: During the Renaissance, Catherine the Great adorned an entire room in her palace with Lapis Lazuli walls, fireplaces, doors, and mirror frames.

Egypt: The golden sarcophagus of King Tutankhamen was richly inlaid with Lapis, as were other burial ornaments of Egyptian kings and queens. It was used extensively in scarabs, pendants, and other jewelry, and ground into powder for dyes, eye shadow, and medicinal elixirs.

(l) “Sacred Journey” a deeply celestial blue Lapis stone, cut by Jason Brousseau, NM, is set in sterling silver. Pendant measures 3” x 1½" and hangs from an 18" wheat weave chain.

(r) “Round & Round & Round We Go” features a powerful Lapis stone set in a trio of sterling silver textured discs. Pendant measures 2¼" x 1¼".

“State Of Mind” a glowing centerpiece of Lapis stone set in sterling silver with sterling silver accents received the following comments from fkb followers: Denise Jansky Such a dramatic blue.  Marie Fisher Dunn I am a huge Lapis fan! This is beautiful!!! 💙💙💙  Kristen Dale Truitt Love at first sight.  Paula Miller Potts Luv this luv Lapis!!!  Patricia Watt The blue lapis is great a nice color of blue.  Sue Faw Exquisite.  Barbara Hunter Stunning! Love that stone.  Carol Akers Love the lapis stone beautiful.  Denise Schooler Very cool.  Delfie Lopez Gorgeous! Marilyn Root Brilliant!  Carlene Polsley Williams Magnificent.  Paul Smith That is beautiful Lapis. The quality is exquisite.

ALL in for ARIZONA COPPER

Copper, cotton, cattle, citrus and climate are known as the 5 Cs that characterize Arizona. In this perfect arid environment, the state claims the largest cluster of copper deposits in the United States.

"Open Heart Garnet" a January Birthstone is set in a textured copper pendant measuring 1¼" x 1¾" and hangs from an adjustable 16"-18" Viking knit copper chain.

“Ways Of The Heart” showcases a heart shaped Tyrone Turquoise cut by Jason Brousseau, NM set on a textured copper heart. Pendant measures 1½" x 2" and hangs from a 18" Viking knit chain. Created with the practice of love & understanding in mind & heart.

“Heart To Heart” an awesome Apatite Agate is centerpiece to a combination of complementing metals: sterling silver & copper. Pendant measures 2" x 1½" and hangs from an 18" small rolo style copper chain.

“Three Times The Love” tiers of stacked textured hearts feature a clear cool green agate. Pendant measures 1¼" x 1" and hangs from an adjustable 16"-18" Viking knit copper chain.

(l) “Intermission Calls” a sterling silver Native American designed symbol and turquoise stone accent are set in copper. Pendant measures 2½" x 2" and hangs from a 18" large loop chain.

“Could We Talk” an embossed copper concho is simply set in copper. Pendant measures 2¼" x 1" and hangs from an 18" rolo style copper chain.

“Srong Feelings” presents an embossed copper concho set into textured copper. Pendant measures 1" round and hangs from an 18" Viking knit style copper chain.

“Dove The Messenger" a sterling silver dove settles on a textured copper cross with sterling silver accents. Pendant measures 2½" x 1¼" and hangs from an 18" Viking knit style chain.

“For Love And Faith" a sterling silver designer cast cross is set on textured copper. Pendant measures 2½" x 1¼" and hangs from an 18" rein style chain.

“Embrace” feathered-edged textured copper cuff showcases a one-inch Turquoise Stone centerpiece and measures ¾" by 6".

Centuries ago, magma streamed from volcanos, then cooled, releasing water which eventually carried copper into the earth’s upper crust. Multiple earthquakes followed – which caused faults – bringing the copper much nearer to the land surface in large parts of southern and central Arizona.  

Turner Brangus Ranch - 50+ Years!

It’s time to share some of Turner Brangus Ranch history. When we purchased the Altnow Ranch in Drewsey, OR in 1981, the ranch had been in the Altnow Family just one year shy of 100 years. Joe Altnow said that his grandfather charged 10 cents a head for sheep to drink out of Altnow lake. Back then, a horse and Fresno was used to put in the lake.

You can see the outline of Oregon State behind the Brangus Bull and our Rafter Lazy T Ranch Brand is on both the right and the left in our entrance signage. We were located in Harney County where cowboys are kings. We sure felt like a king and a queen.  

Many of you must wonder why I sign my name on back the of my pieces, along with our Brand. In more than 50 years of ranching, the "Rafter Lazy T" Ranch Brand has been a big part of our life. All our cattle carried this iron on the mid-section – all our horses were branded on the stifle. Just sharing a bit of pride.

(above left) This is the “Rafter Lazy T” ranch brand pendant – just a simple design that I made for myself. Ranch brands are just so special and important – they represent lots of commitment, sacrifice, and rewards. Rafter Lazy T has been with us a long time and it will always be a part of our legacy. I’d be happy to create a pendant or bracelet with your particular ranch brand – just let me know and we can work out the design.  

(above right) “Where Cowboys Are Kings” when I created this pendant, it reminded me of the wide-open spaces of the high desert of Harney County. Accented with a little Turquoise, accented with a little silver, the longhorn for good measure – all set on a 2” x 1” copper backing that hangs from an 18” small copper square link chain. 

Together, Tom and I first began ranching in Washington State and, over a 14-year period, I learned traditional beading techniques from the elder women of the Yakima Tribe. I made the above beadwork tapestry in Oregon; this piece was created and dedicated to our Family and our Neighbors of Harney County, honoring generation Ranchers with their Brands. Notice the Rafter Lazy T Ranch Brand on the right.

Above is a picture of Tom and I at the Houston Livestock Show in Texas in 2007 - the year we were selected “Pioneer Breeder Of The Year” by the International Brangus Breeders Association and received the Bronze Trophy – and up to that point, only the 3rd time in the history of the association that the Bronze had ever been awarded.

2007 PIONEER OF THE YEAR AWARD goes to TOM & KATHI TURNER

Turner Brangus Ranch is a family-owned operation, where its sole source of income for the past 43 years has been made by a cow. Prior to 1981 the operation was strictly commercial cattle. Although the Turners are very progressive in all aspects of the Livestock business, the guidelines they use in their Purebred Brangus Cattle were adopted from their commercial operation and they still use a grass roots common sense approach to selecting their replacements, whether bulls or heifers.

The Turners cattle are born and raised on the high desert country of Southeastern Oregon, where weather conditions are not kind. Their cattle are subject not only to severe cold, but thrive and survive the dry range conditions of summer.

The Turners strive for the best genetics possible to produce offspring that will perform in any environment. The do not pamper their cattle; they have to perform based on the merits of their genetic background. They strive for performance and a strong maternal side.

This dedicated, friendly, and hospitable couple has earned the honor as the elite of the Brangus Breed – the 2007 Pioneers of the Year.

Inside and outside at the SW Brangus Breeders Bull Sale in Marana AZ.

Just a bit more about Harney County where we lived as it is famous for many things including Pete French Round Barn State Heritage Site.

The Pete French Round Barn stands in the heart of Harney County and remains a monument to one man’s livestock empire. Peter French arrived in 1872 and began amassing land and cattle. By the mid-1880s, his enterprise had grown to 70,000 acres and 45,000 head of cattle.

Although dubbed the ‘Cattle King,” French was the first rancher in the area to put up hay. He also raised thousands of sheep for their wool. The Round Barn was used to train wild horses to pull long wagon trains full of wool, hay and supplies to market in Oregon City.

Tom and I, back in the heyday, are proud to have been part of and contributed toward the vibrancy of Harney County for 50+ years at Turner Brangus Ranch!

Cowgirl Magazine Showcases HDC!

Cowgirl Magazine’s HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE: I was invited to present a piece for inclusion in the November/December Holiday Gift Guide. “Seeker Of The Lucky Horseshoe” highlights a Nevada #8 Turquoise Mine stone cut by Jason Brousseau, NM set in sterling silver as centerpiece within a sterling silver horseshoe. Pendant measures 2" x 1¾" and hangs from an 18" rein chain style chain.

Cowgirl Magazine’s ROUTE 66 KICKS FASHION SHOOT: The November/December issue focuses on the National Finals Rodeo held in Las Vegas, December 2 – 11, 2021 and I was invited to display jewelry in the fashion shoot. A bold statement piece was requested. Since I am known for creating pendants of a significant size, “Where The Wild Things Are” was the perfect choice.

Stunning Campito Turquoise cut by Jason Brousseau, NM, set in sterling silver, drops below a sterling silver mission cross pendant featuring designer cast sterling silver horses. The 18" neckpiece is of hand-cut horn disc beads, hand-stamped sterling silver beads and heishi turquoise spacer beads. Pendant measures 4¼" x 2¾", total hanging length 24".

Featured on Page 81, part of the pendant shows beneath a scarf – leaving the viewer begging to see more of this boldly stunning piece.

HDC Guest Artists

Talented, professional and skilled, High Desert Creations is pleased to have four guest artists at STUDIO #14 during the Hidden In The Hills Studio Tour & Sale.

(above) In her brand-new works, realistic oil painter Barbara Rudolph brings the styles and colors of Mexico telling a story where all the fun begins! Party! Fiesta! Forever!

(above) HITH is the only show Morrie Elmer participates in – bringing with him from his home in the White Mountains an astonishingly wide range of shapes and sizes of decorative hollow vessels to STUIO #14. Gathering all of his turning stock himself, Morrie works with mostly western hardwoods – favoring Olive, Manzanita, Desert Ironwood, Mesquite, Carob, Pistachio, various Oaks, and any burl wood – filling the natural crevices with inlays of semi-precious stones.

(above) Acrylic painter Jan Griggs’s work is a collection of places, feelings of color, movement and stillness that translates into non-representational abstracts. Each work is intuitive allowing the viewer to engage imagination, interpreting and reacting to what they see.

(above) Uniquely creative, Rob Stenberg’s mediums include canvas, wood panels, tobacco barn wood, watercolor paper, and refurbished antique furniture; he also constructs mixed media pieces incorporating found objects, African porcupine quills, antique acquisitions, handmade paper and air-dry clay. Contemporary gallery wrapped pieces feature Southwest and Tribal depictions of Warriors and Shaman – each piece portrays great strength and spirit – sometimes with a bit of whimsy.

Be sure to visit High Desert Creations Studio #14 November 26, 27 & 28 – all artists enjoy talking techniques, inspirations – they are happy to answer your questions and happy to help with your artwork selections.
