Well, new ideas are in flow.  I have been working on a new little line of jewelry.  Of course, they are one of a kind pieces, and this is only the beginning....

I've decided to name the series Hidden Atmospheres.  They are little pods with juxtaposing textures.  These are made of sterling silver, 18k and 22k gold.  The ring and the earrings are the first pieces to come into fruition.

I've got another new line to begin soon, so keep a look out for it's debut!

Back in the Studio...

Macey

Here I am back in the studio after a three month hiatus having quality time with my new daughter.  Although I did manage to get in here a couple times over the break, as you can see from the picture above, it is not an easy task to work in the studio while having Macey with me.  I discovered this when my son, Watts, was an infant as well, which is what drew me to using day care.

So, this is my first week back and I am amidst the bittersweet rollercoaster of separation from baby and getting back to my passion of jewelry.  I appreciate all of your patience through this intimate time of closeness with my children and retreat from my work.  I am getting my feet wet this week with applications to shows, exhibitions and award competitions.  I welcome emails and phone calls for custom work and sales. 

 My mind is a flutter with ideas for new work, so keep a look out for exciting additions to my gallery and shop!
