A Marriage of Sorts


It's been a productive spring.
I completed my 2011 catalog, finally,
which included several new designs.

I'm now building a collection of these forged florets.


I have grown a bit bored with my Dot Collection.

These florets/dot centers are the perfect marriage
to keep that design
alive.

I'll still continue to make Dot pendants, earrings, and rings,
but this new combination has sparked my
creative curiosity.


The stone is a 5mm genuine ruby.
Yum.

Sore, Happy Hands


Work at the bench has been in high gear.
The plan was (is) to get all inventory finished for the summer show season.
Unfortunately, I'm falling behind and my show season has begun.

Wha? It's only April!

My next show is this weekend in Providence, RI.
Check the link out here.


My trusty studiomate, Suki.


Lots and lots of almost there pieces.


My hands are sore, cracked, and callused.
I'm rather proud of them.

Check out Missouri Bends' blog post featuring my hands.
