Rock Paper Scissors

I just delivered 9 new pieces of jewelry to Erika at Rock Paper Scissors in Wiscasset, Maine.  RPS is a fabulous shop located on Main Street and definitely worth the stop.  It's full of papergoods, funky housewares, beautiful leather wallets and purses, and select jewelry.  RPS is full of beautiful wares and personality and I am so excited to be included in the shop.  Here's a sampling of what you'll see from me:

This necklace is made from blue chalcedony beads with flower tube beads.  This is one of two necklaces.

This is one pair of earrings included with 3 other flower inspired pairs.

Reticulated earrings and my signature cuff bracelets are also available.

Be sure to stop by and let me know what you think!

A Happy Anniversary

Happy 49th Anniversary to very special client/friends!!!  This pearl necklace was a surprise present and she loves it!  Thank you so much for including me and my work in your special occasion. 

Earrings for Mom

My mom is one of my biggest supporters and enthusiasts.  Yes, I know, moms are supposed to be that way, but I'm really lucky to be able to talk art and design with her, offering opinions or encouragement when needed.  So when she got her hair cut short, she noticed that she needed to wear larger earrings and asked if I would put that on my upcoming design to-do list.  I did, and I had intentions of making them right away, but things got busy and health things popped up, and.... 

Finally, here they are--new earrings for Mom.  I think she'll be pleased!

Surprises

Good or bad, we're all thrown some surprises now and then.  I've been out of commission for a bit (surprise!), but am on the road to recovery and am feeling sooooo much better.  Just before, I finished these 2 new reticulated cuffs. 

This one is heavily reticulated silver that is slightly overlapped with apricot and yellow sapphires that are tube set: 

This cuff is lightly reticulated silver that is joined at a slightly overlapped angle.  Swirls and balls have been added and soldered on. 

I've been going in the studio off and on to play with some new elements.  I'm tired, but feel like I"ll be back to normal soon AND be back to creating!
