HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Hey everyone! I've been juried into The Guild's Artful Home website and hopefully will be in their beautiful print catalog in the near future. I have a small collection available through their webshop, which I'll be updating and adding more pieces soon. The Guild has gathered together a great selection of handmade limited production and One of A Kind art and functional/wearable art. Check it out! You may just find something you can't live without.

Also wanted to share a new holiday necklace that I finished up last night. It's the Botanical Pendant Number 5 tht I posted a little bit ago but dressed up a bit for the holidays. It's got three chains (two handmade) of freshwater pearls and faceted chalcedony. There's a limited selection available just in time for party/gathering season so if you're interested shoot me an e-mail.

Have a great weekend!

Treasury in DC

A friend of mine from High School has opened up a boutique, Treasury in Washington D.C. that boasts a great selection of new and vintage clothing and accessories. They have recently received a small collection from my Botanical Series that will be available for the holidays. I'd like to wish my friend Katerina and her partner the best of luck in their ventures at Treasury! And thanks for including some of my jewels at the shop!

Cheers!

New Necklace and Earrings...

Dropping in quickly today to share some photos of a few new things. I'll be updating my Etsy Shop today and adding all of my new pieces...including these three.



One of my images, The Peony Ring towards the bottom got used for the 2009 DIY Tunk Show Poster. Pretty Exciting! Click on it to enlarge the poster.



Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

Slight Change of Plans for the Oak Park Sale this weekend...

Just wanted to give anyone who was planning on coming to the Oak Park sale this weekend a heads up...I won't be there tomorrow (Saturday). I'm getting over a terrible cold/flu and need one more day of rest to kick this thing in the can. I will definitely be there on Sunday from 11-dusk so come out and see me! It's supposed to be a lovely sunny fall day according to the weather channel.

Have a great weekend!

Hello Everyone!

I have some shows in the Chicago and surrounding area in the next few months that I would love to see you at if you can make it out...

Various Notes of Interest...

I started designing and making some pieces using my new collection of plastic and rubber goodies! Can't wait til I have a little more spare time to dip into the rest of them. Here's what I've made so far...

As promised I also made a pair of Mini Garden Studs to go along with the Garden Stacker Rings

These will all be available in my Etsy Shop soon. I plan on adding everything that I've mentioned recently by this weekend (I'll be sure to let you all know when I get them up).

Last weekend I went up to Dekalb, IL with Eric for a Cyclo-cross Race. It's super fun to watch and cheer everyone on while letting loose and madly ringing a cow bell! Oh the perks of being a supportive girlfriend :) Here's a pic of Eric all geared up and on his bike. The race was nestled away in the woods. It was a lovely sunny day and a nice venture away from the city. I found and photographed some really beautiful shelf fungi.

I have some really exciting opportunities ahead that I will let everyone know about as soon as they are more solidified.
'Til Next Time

New Embroidered Cards...

I'm having way too much fun trying my hand at embroidering! Thought I'd drop in to share some cards that I've been working on.
'til next time!

Back in the City , Back in the Studio and Back to Work...

I had a great time in Indy relaxing for a few days (well kind of...we ran a lot of errands). I started embroidering a set of new cards which I will photograph soon and share with everyone. I also got some books and started in on Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain (next I'll be reading the third book in the Sookie Stackhouse novels). He's a very clever, funny and witty writer and I'm thoroughly enjoying his book so far.

I was able to take a few photos for my inspiration book...
And on the many errands that we ran I was able to find and collect all kinds of little goodies that I can't wait to get my fingers on and use in my designs!!!


Now Off to Work!
