new color bar pendant
a new necklace style: the color bar pendant
this came about on a fluke when i went to the glass supply store this week. i was looking to pick up some sheet glass in a color or two to experiment with in the studio. when i walked in and rounded the aisle i saw a wall full of candy colored cane. i have spotted these at varying art/gem stores on and off since i started making jewelry. but on that particular day when i saw them an instant idea hit. i spent a couple very happy hours picking out select colors and raced home to make one. more colors to come along with a more elaborate earring style inspired by these beautiful candy colored canes as well as a couple colors having availability in yellow gold....like the seafoam blue green and the hot red....stayed tuned.
coral and gold ring
new ring made of yellow gold and a piece of found coral. i made this to celebrate my 10 year anniversary for making jewelry. to further celebrate i will be making and offering a select few pieces of my traditional sterling silver work in gold (yellow, white or rose gold).

alive for now
my heart skipped a beat when i saw this image. this piece is breathtakingly beautiful & sad...and mesmerizing. i can't imagine the emotion if i were standing next to this sculpture. i fell in love with it even more when reading the description below by sabrina gschwandtner.
"Then there was Keith W. Bentley’s “Cauda Equina,” a small, shaggy sculpture of a horse. I stared at the little pony for a while, trying to pinpoint what made his presence so endearing yet inaccessible. I realized that the pony’s eyes were covered by hair, a veil that denied me the connection I sought. Wall text revealed that the work was based on Victorian-era funeral etiquette, which required widows to wear black for eighteen months. The piece mourns the death of over two hundred and fifty horses slaughtered in processing plants; the hairs from each horse were hand-knotted onto fabric and then fitted over a taxidermy form. The fact that this sculptural animal was created as a stand-in for others’ deaths gave it an otherworldly presence."
