morning glorious

my morning glory flower necklace was featured in this wintry wedding treasury by fellow etsy-an normamaecreations: icy hot!

victorian halloween

thank you, lucy and ethel for the inclusion of my blood red garnet and crape myrtle ring in their fantastic and timely victorian halloween treasury on etsy.

crape myrtles

crape myrtles are the iconic late summer flower, bringing bright blooms of color to otherwise desolate urban landscapes. later on, some produce little seed heads shaped like tiny bells which i cast in sterling silver, and make jewelry from.

poppy stems

a  customer commissioned me to design a poppy ring-she meant with the stem! the fuzzy texture of the poppy stem did transfer over into the sterling silver and the lost wax casting came out beautifully! i finished one end with a ball of sterling wire and tipped the other with a single silver oak bud from my old tree (r.i.p.).

cool copper cone necklace

go for baroque in the copper cone choker! i just relisted this gorgeous choker necklace after letting the listing lapse for a while...a more decadent version was sold at the renwick gallery shop a minute ago.

day 34: design something every day

i found this vintage brass stamping, enameled it and hung it from a gun metal chain. design done for day 34 of my design something every day challenge.
