On a personal note...

I've gone back to my roots...

Some of the first artwork I ever sold was handmade jewelry. They were mostly sterling silver rings I made when I was a sophomore in high school.

here are some I saved...
















When I picked up my jewelry tools again...I realized they were the same tools I had started working with with back in high school...what a profound experience.

Some things have changed since then, though...

I realized I find great joy and inspiration in the "hunt" for unusual, one-of-a-kind or limited supply items to incorporate in my designs. In particular vintage pieces...blending the past with the present.

also, for today, I know I don't want to "mass produce" my artwork...preferring to let it "come through me" and move on...making room for new thoughts, ideas and inspiration.

My renewed interest in jewelry and accessory creation celebrates my journey to finding "my true authentic self".

Enjoy!
