Another show!!!

Up and Coming Shows!!!

Hello Everyone!

I have been so busy that I have not had time to post! It has been so crazy. I have been getting ready for two shows that are coming up one this coming weekend and the other May 14th. I have been working on making new spring and summer pieces. I am loving them so far and cant wait to get some pictures and get them together for the shows. The invitation is fabulous! I hope everyone can make there will be so much great stuff to see, so many fabulous artists. My studio is looking crazy but at least the chaos symbolizes lots of hard work!!! I hope you all stop by and see me it will be lots of fun!!! I will post again soon with new photos and updates!

I'm baaaack!

Here I am back from my fabulous adventures in Tucson and thinking about spring. I had my annual "what should I be when I grow up?", crisis and now I'm ready to work again.

I'll write more later about Tucson and the Gem show this is just to say hello and show you a couple of pictures of winter necklaces that I didn't have time to show you before I left and a brand new, happy spring necklace.

Since I'm still trying to figure out this blogging thing the photos didn't quite come out the order or placement I wanted but you get the idea. I read an article about jewelry photography that suggested using different kinds of backgrounds so here are some of my first attempts. I like the first two the best. What do you think? Let me know. Thanks

Polymer Clay Daily!

Cynthia Tinapple's wonderful blog, Polymer Clay Daily, posted about me over the weekend! The site is a wonderful resource to discover inventive and inspiring artists working with polymer clay. Check out the post about my blog and all of the other magical work featured!


Isn't life funny, the necklace that was featured was actually returned by a dissatisfied gallery. (FYI- when you are dealing long distance by email, make sure to get confirmation of your prices from the stores.) Life continues to be amusing!

Spring?

Spring is blooming in my living room!

We had a busy, stuffed-up, full Thanksgiving that generated lots of ideas. Again, I learned the lesson that it's not about struggling, it's about relaxing, and then the ideas come.

Fancy Fall Drop

These are our new earrings for fall! We finally got to our new fall colors--now that it's almost Christmas. We'll have to do better for spring. Ah, the wonderful world of fashion, where you have to plan two seasons ahead.

We're wishing everybody a happy Thanksgiving and thinking about all the things that we are thankful for!
