New Keychains

I have been wanting to create a key chain using a style similar to my hand hammered aluminum and copper bookmarks. Well, I finally got it done! Like my bookmarks, they are totally hand crafted - cut, filed, drilled, hammered and finally stamped with an initial - all by my own two hands. These unique key chains add a personal style to your keys without adding much bulk or weight.

Silver and Shabby Etsy Treasury

Today I am honored that my Orbit Anklet was included in a lovely Silver and Shabby treasury on Etsy created by BRYDFERTH. It is a very well done treasury filled with subtle textures and colors.


Hailey of BRYDFERTH has some lovely things in her shop. I love this wonderful brass and fabric "I heart Nature" necklace. It has a lovely shabby chic elegance.

This little pair of Rosette Bobby Pins are so lovely.

Fresh colors for Spring

This is the time of year when I have grown tired of winter grays and start to dream of the coming of spring. Especially this year, since we have gotten wave after wave of snow storms. When I sat down to create new designs this weekend I found myself repeatedly drawn to the fresh colors of the changing seasons. Below is a sampling, but I’ll be posting many more to my Etsy shop this week!


Bimini Earrings – faceted watery Swiss Blue Topaz briolettes are suspended below faceted Labradorite rounds.



Cruzan Earrings – a subtle gray freshwater pearl and minty green Aventurine gemstones sway beneath double loops of oxidized sterling silver.

New Wire Wrapping Style for Earrings

I applied the hand coiled wire wrapping technique I use for my Metamorph Interchangeable pendants to these new earrings. What do you think of the new style?

Willow Earrings - Pale green marquis cut faceted Prehnite briolettes are wrapped in oxidized sterling silver and dangle from French earwires. These earrings remind me of tiny willow leaves dangling below your ears.

Personally, I think I love this new style. I'm off to the studio to wrap up more new earrings!
