Model Shoot

A great opportunity opened up to have my jewelry photographed on a live model.  Robert Diamante, the best jewelry photographer around, and who has taken my publicity shots previously, told me about a live model shoot that he was doing and invited me to participate.  I jumped at the chance and boy am I happy!  The model is lovely and wears the jewelry so well.

Here's my aquamarine slices with reticulated silver necklace.  It sits beautifully around the neck!

Here's the flower neck cuff that I LOVE! with the simple flower stud enhancing the overall look.  See, it's very wearable!

I'm hoping to blow these up and make advertising posters for my show booth.  Thank you Robert for doing a beautiful job!!!

Another Year

It's hard to believe another year has passed doing this blog!  Two whole years without me wondering what I'd do and I am pleasantly surprised that I still have alot to show, say, and share.  One exciting thing--I just found out I've been accepted to show at Laudholm Farm Crafts Festival again this September!  (YEAH!!!)  So mark your calendars for Saturday and Sunday, September 8 & 9, at Laudholm Farm in Wells, ME.  Come on by and say hi!

Now, some new designs I've been working on:

This reticulated necklace has graduating silver discs that I've embellished with balls and bars and fine silver bezels housing assorted green stones--tourmaline, chrysoprase, peridot, and aventurine. The articulated joinery allows the necklace to sit comfortably around the neck.

And then there's this necklace:

Thin slices of aquamarines, strung with complimentary silver reticulated pieces.The colors are icy and seaglassy--lovely!

So much more to show.  Now that I've finished painting my spare bedroom (a lovely shade called 'aloe vera'), I'll update more often.
