Commissions Galore

While I was busy completing my Hexaptych I also received a few custom jewelry orders. For a friend’s 14th wedding anniversary I was given a specific lyric and asked to add the iconic lightning bolt to the pendant referencing the Grateful Dead. Because this was a remote order, I took a photo showing the size […]

Sparkles at Ayla’s Bead Bazaar

September closed out with a pop-up at Ayla’s Fall Bead Bazaar. I had perused the bazaar last year and was thrilled to be one of the vendors this year. What’s not to like about being surrounded by sparkles and beauty? Last year’s Pyrite strand made it into a set. I paired it with my Desigual […]

Creations for Dutchies

The Morpho Butterfly wax and wire […]

Draw was inspired by the fabulous pencil handler Lauren Levato-Coyne. She taught me how to draw, and her friendship has drawn me into […]

Weekend Interlude

I took a little road trip this week to clear my head. It’s nice to do a re-set when home and internal changes are churning. The good news is that you get to call dibs on the pieces on Facebook through the weekend. Next week they’ll be up on Etsy for a wider audience to […]
