Pendants of the Summer

I haven’t been taking many jewelry selfies lately, though I always get compliments on the Maraviglia I am wearing. Earlier this summer I wore Blessed are you among Women out paired with my favorite twinsy spirals. At NEW’s anniversary party I wore my bangles, which pretty much go with all my outfits and can be […]

Trunk Show Fun

Before the Independence Day festivities I had some fun at Aurora Rose Boutique. Mannequins were adorned with my pieces. I might play with a scarf pendant necklace in the Fall. I set up for my trunk show there with a pretty and whimsical view. Having extra surfaces to display my wares was nice, as well […]

Summer Trunk Show Prepping

I’ve been reviewing my inventory and adding some new pieces over the past two weeks. Next Saturday I’ll have my only summer show in Lemont, an indoor trunk show at Aurora Rose Boutique. The fun starts at 1 and goes until 4, though I will probably hang out open to close. Aurora Rose is doing […]

Creating an in-home gallery (Part 1)

When I moved in 2008 I had one big wall that I wanted to turn into a gallery, but didn’t have much art to fill it up with. The vintage walls are also quite “rubbery” which makes putting nails in the walls a tricky process. So the project lingered until 2012, when I started collecting […]

Malachites for Mom

My mother has been coveting the Malachites Diptych I created last year. But then she also liked the Desktop Minis with their quotes, so I’ve had a mom-specific project knocking about in my head for some time. This year’s Mother’s Day was the perfect time to create a piece for her, incorporating her favorite stone, […]

Practicing the art of Selfies

Recently an article made the rounds that taking selfies is an indicator of narcissism, which made ponder my Pendants of the Day shoots.  Incidentally, as I typed ‘selfies’ my spell checker changed it to ‘selfless’, irony upon irony. Infinite Rainbow Collar I will cop to having a slight Facebook addiction, but that is also the […]

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mother’s Day is nigh (May 11 in the U.S., Netherlands and Germany) and I am taking custom orders. I’ve had a few requests for birthstone jewelry, and now is the time to message me if this is something you would like to honor your mother with. Based on your family members’ birth dates I will […]

Hippity Hopping

I recently visited Norridge for a Trunk Show that was a lot of fun. The sign makes me think of The Wedding Singer. It was my biggest display table yet, so I had to take two shots to get it all in. Fellow Network of Entrepreneurial Women member Marianne was there with Melaleuca and her […]

Creativity abounds

Spring is finally creeping into the Midwest. All the snow has melted and some flowers are beginning to emerge. I cleared my workspace one evening, cleaned my tools and got creative. The sunshine and longer days drew me into the studio several times and I’ve enjoyed shaping and embellishing the wire into my vision. This […]

Re-stocking Etsy
