As the weather turns and faces towards Autumn I am reminded of my most inspirational time of year. I love all the seasons, and enjoy so many different types of flowers, but autumn leaves are my favorite. I love the vibrant colors, the dancing leaves as they fall from the trees, and the crispness of… Continue reading Happy September!

Update! Still Alive and Creating New Work
So much has happened since I last updated the blog! Where to begin... First off, I've moved with my husband and two fur babies to small town Texas, and officially have a room for my studio! Hurray! No more garage, no more Texas heat, and most importantly less humidity on my tools and metal work.… Continue reading Update! Still Alive and Creating New Work
Fresh Ideas
Today is a fresh ideas day. Some days a giant chain of ideas and thoughts for projects hit me so that I don't manage to get any of the manual work done until I get everything stuck in my head on paper. These type of days are VITAL to my creation process. If I don't… Continue reading Fresh Ideas

Whole New Interests!
Happy New Year (and a month or so)! Lately I find my eyes wandering to all the different stones I have to play with in my work. They are so beautiful, these natural shimmers of organic art. They draw my attention away from the beautiful floral textures I have been dwelling with and have been… Continue reading Whole New Interests!
When work does what you hope and more!
So I have been working on a necklace for a few weeks now, between waiting for supplies and and juggling other projects. The piece stayed in sketch form on my wall of ideas... on the bottom... on scrap paper. So when it finally came time to actualize my idea I was beyond ready for it… Continue reading When work does what you hope and more!
I am still creating!
Check out this item in my Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/listing/209874792/rustic-tree-copper-earrings-unique-gifts Sometimes a switch in approaches keeps my fingers nimble and my mind engaged. With holidays, trips, and appointments my days seem so full that I find myself wishing for several hours to work. (And the holiday season is just beginning!) Alas life doesn't allow that, so… Continue reading I am still creating!
