Hi.
Welcome to the Ozone and our adventures!
Welcome to the Ozone and our adventures!
The sun finally came out so we’re back outside to do some Outdoor Studio sessions. Fire Opal from Oregon requires some clean up; not just soap and water, we’re talking cutting off some pretty serious crust, to get to the juicy fire opals inside. There’s a new Blog about this, a special video on the member side of our youtube channel, and a full length video coming very soon! Of course new faceted gems, cabochons, and jewelry items will be landing in the shop soon too.
We’re all used to the kind of cuff bracelets that open at the bottom and often have a stone set on the top. A different approach that I absolutely adore to wear is an open top cuff design. The stones still ride on the top of the wrist, at the opening gap of the bracelet, and appear to float there in an amazing way. This bracelet design is adjustable, very comfortable, and it puts the stress of bending the bracelet on and off the wrist at the broad part of the copper cuff instead of under the stone. Check out the STORE for the available open top ‘Cufflets’.
Every Friday Night at 6pm Pacific Time, we go live on YouTube to discuss all the fun of the week. You’ll see if we’ve been preparing rough stones, cutting slabs, making cabochons, faceting gems, creating jewelry, mining stones, rockhounding or whatever zaniness we’ve been cooking up. We often have guests on to discuss rock/gem/mineral/creating topics and you’re welcome to join the chat for questions in real time or to lend your wisdom to the discussion. Check out Ozone Fine ArtVentures and make sure to subscribe or become a member to never miss out on the videos and livestreams there.
Lately, on our YouTube channel OzoneFineArt-Ventures , we have been hosting ‘Studio Livestreams’ where a few different lapidary artists and jewelry creators work with our cameras on, in real time, for your entertainment. It’s been wonderful to watch how different people work, share techniques, ask questions in real time, and watch beautiful things be created. Make sure to subscribe to the YouTube channel so you don’t miss a Maker’s Challenge or any of the videos showing us out getting these gemstones and rocks to work with. Plenty of live studios and adventures coming up in the coming weeks!
Over on Youtube, we also have a membership side of the channel where extra content is placed. If you enjoy watching the process side of the jewelry and lapidary, that kind of video content will be on the membership side of the channel. We will also post extra footage and special previews from upcoming videos as a special thanks for your support. If you’re interested check out OzoneFineArt-Ventures where you can see all the regular videos and livestreams, and can sign up to be a member for less than a cup of coffee a month. All the proceeds go to funding the platforms to launch the livestreams and items to bring you video from our adventures (like cameras, mics, editing programs, memory, etc.). Thanks for your support!
Welcome our newest member of the family. He’s kind of shy, but very flamboyant at the same time. He’s just getting used to the crazy surroundings, but he also still needs a name. If you have any suggestions, use the contact page to let us know, or you can leave a comment on any of our videos too. I’m just the slightest bit distracted by him, he’s easy to watch, and the time flies by.
Owyhee would love to hear from you!
We’d all love to hear from you, Contact Us with any inquiries of comments you may have and sign up for the mailing list so that we can keep in touch. Cheers!
