Holiday sales

I went to sell my jewelry at two private parties last weekend. They were fun and very lucrative. The talk these days is to buy local. Whether it be produce from the nearby farms, hand made products or any other talent, you help support our economy right here by buying local

Gallery Walk in Pioneer Square



My friends Paula and Midge opened up their art studio for first Thursday last night. There were a lot of art enthusiasts out and about on the chilly night.

I brought my jewelry and since I forgot to bring a mirror, I modeled some of my designs. We had fun asking people to name one of Paula's sculptures. One of my favorites was "my mother in laws Thanksgiving dinner".

Washed Ashore a resounding success

The Washed Ashore Display is being taken down from Edie's Shoes, but the installation was a resounding success. It was first installed in the West Seattle store for their August art walk. A collection of jewelry and shadow boxes were created, reminicent of objects washed ashore from a shipwreck long ago. Keys, lockets, watches and old 1920 postcards from Spain were used.
The display was shown in the Capital hill store until now.

Back to nature

I love these antique rosaries I found. They are made with glass beads, metal, filigree, and silver. I've made them into necklaces, adding a few elements of nature.

New collections

I’m back from Barcelona with some flea market finds. I love old Rosaries. They inspired my new line of jewelry. I add other found objects such as old keys, lockets, pins, watch parts. These pieces take us to another time and place….reminiscent of hopes, prayers, dreams and love left behind.
