Spring is here.  I love spring, but today is a kind of gray day and that reminds me that the 1 thing I don’t like about spring is the volatility of the weather.  One day is sunny and 70 & the next is cloudy, windy and rainy.  But as I tell my daughter without the rain there wouldn’t be trees & plants, and without trees & plants there wouldn’t be “us”.    With that in mind I decided to share this picture with you.  These earrings are from my Closed Hourglass Collection.  For some reason moonstones always put me in mind...

Spring is finally here!  I love this time of year.  It’s nice just to be able to get back outside, even if that’s just sitting outside to eat lunch.   When I am outside one of the things I enjoy the most is seeing all the weeds bloom.  It might sound a bit odd, but if you really take a look the plants we consider “weeds” are really quite beautiful.  In honor of that I thought I’d share this pic I took of my one of a kind tourmaline ring and the pink pearl earrings from my Closed Hourglass Collection.  I...

With the beginning of Spring I’m all about everything nature these days.  It’s no wonder I find myself gravitating toward jewelry that embraces this feeling. This pendant from my Pod Collection is an example of just that.  The Pod Collection reflects my fascination with growing plants.  The anticipation, pleasure, and excitement of witnessing the different stages of growth and the beauty of the end result.

The sun is shining… the birds are singing… flowers are blooming… Unicorns are farting rainbows… Yep, it’s spring-time. I love this time of year.  Everything is [insert spring-related clichés].  Clichés aside, this really is my favorite time of year.  Everything is coming back to life & it’s not insanely hot yet. Given my excitement I just couldn’t help sharing this photo of my pearl and sapphire earrings from the Closed Hourglass Collection.  It exudes “spring-time vibes” to me.  My favorite thing about these earrings?  The pearls.  FYI, I’m a little pearl crazy, but why not?  I’m just amazed at the...

This image makes me so happy.  Know why?  It means I’m in the process of making new work.  Nothing makes me happier than a tray full of scraps.  Wax or metal it doesn’t matter; it all means I’m in creation mode.  This is my happy place.    And as you can see by the family photo, the collection is coming together quite nicely!  It is a small collection of completely one of a kind pieces, so make sure you join my email list if you want to know when it’s ready.
