New Earrings




I have been working on some cute earrings that go with any thing. They are textured copper that have been heated with a torch to add a beautiful patina. So fun!

Art All Night


Just returned from dropping off one of my necklaces in Pittsburgh to be shown at the Art All Night exhibit. It is held at a huge warehouse. It will be interesting to see everything once it is set up. The staff was great. They are all prepared and working diligently so no one would have to wait. Much appreciated! Check out www.artallnight.org/about.htm for more info.

Trials and Errors


I successfully transferred printed material to metal for etching. Finally. I have tried several methods and had actually given up. I found a project on etsy about etching glass. They printed on pnp transfer paper with a laser printer, then transferred the design with an iron. I tried it on my copper and it worked perfectly.

I am quite excited about this and have been thinking about new designs for my jewelry. I have renewed energy and am looking forward to getting back to work.
