It’s back to back art fair time! On Sunday, September 27, I will be setting up shop in the Highland Art Park Center, where Ayla’s Originals is hosting its Fall Bead Bazaar. I’ve perused Ayla’s Wonderful World of Beads on numerous occasions and am thrilled to be part of the vendor line-up this year. Seventeen […]

Summer Selfies

It’s time for some Summer Selfies as I process numerous photos from my August travels. The Yellow Agate Set visited a few stores this quarter while the pink flower wax and wire pendant was admired during NEW’s recent Meet & Munch. I paired it with infinity earrings. in May I wore various Mother’s Day Pendants […]

Where the River Shannon Flows pendants

I got some studio time in recently and decided to add more musical pendants to my inventory (they keep selling out). I’ve just about used up the Irish Rose music sheet I received from a friend.  The song is really called: Where the River Shannon Flows. There’s a pretty spot in Ireland I always claim […]

Love Delivered Inspiration

At Christmas Santa gifted me with a subscription to Curly Girl Design’s Love Delivered. Each quarter, the wonderful people at Curly Girl Design pack up their latest releases, boxed sets of cards and other odds and ends to cheer the recipient up. Then the job becomes figuring out whom to send these pearls of wisdom […]

Dutch vibe on King’s Day

Yesterday was Koningsdag or King’s Day in the Netherlands. After celebrating Queen Juliana’s Birthday on April 30 for 36 years, we are now honoring King Willem Alexander on his birthday. Two of my globe-trotting friends have been posting photos of Delft and its porcelain and the Keukenhof’s gorgeous tulip splendor this week so I am […]

March flowers

We keep getting more snow but it is springtime in the studio. I received a gift in this vibrant floral tissue paper and couldn’t resist making some cheerful pendants with them. A simple oval was the obvious choice, but then it was fun playing with petal shapes too. I pulled out Brenda Schweder’s Now That’s […]

Post-Fair Gratitude

Well my holiday fairs are over and I am so flattered and honored at the reactions my pieces garnered. It is lovely to be complimented on my wire-bending skills, and to have people purchase pieces to give to their loved ones. Knowing the quotes and songs touch people’s hearts and have meaning to them makes […]

Maraviglia at the Winter EXPO

This weekend I dropped off 70 pieces for the 12th Annual Winter Arts & Crafts EXPO at the Evanston Art Center. It was a veritable tagging fest the night before. The EXPO opens on Friday evening and will be open to the public Monday through Saturday 10 am to 4 pm and Sundays 12 pm […]

New pendants for dibs

I made a few new pendants this month that I almost do not want to part with. The studio has been shiny and bright, luring me in. Someone posted Isaiah 55:12 in a piece of their work, so I went to my art Bible and ripped that page out for a pendant. Don’t you love […]

Maike’s Maraviglia out and about

I’ve been enjoying the weather and nature so much that promoting my jewelry has been backburnered a bit. But you’ll see me wear and can peruse fun pieces at NEW’s Crain’s Small Business Week Event on Wednesday. My Chakra Bangle and Twinsy Dancing Spirals are with me most often. The Morpho Butterfly wax and wire […]
