Update

Sorry that it has been such long time since my last post. Trying to find time these days has been hard for me. I am hoping to finish a couple of projects that are in the works this weekend, and start on this one.
The top piece is a piece from my grandmothers blue willow dishes, the middle piece is a stone that Quinn found on one of our hikes, and the bottom stone is a labadorite. I love the different shades of blues and all the textures in it.

Also every time that  I am in the studio Quinn has been coming with me to learn and wants to learn everything. Amazing. Here we are below and he is watching me sand and polish with the flex shaft. We stopped for a quick photo opt.

Some News

Last week I received this interesting email form Jeff Star of golocalworcester. He wanted to do an article about me and my work. Amazing!!! I am so excited about this opportunity. The article was posted on Monday August 5th. Here is the link to my article. Please check it out. Again this is very exciting. Happy reading! And thank you Jeff Star and go local worcester

Collaboration with my son

Quinn and I have been working on a necklace together. He found the stone and he set the sea glass. This was so much fun. The pictures below is of Quinn working hard to set his first bezel. He did a beautiful job!

The picture below is the necklace that we made. He set the bottom piece!!! It is sea glass from Rhode Island. The middle stone is one the Quinn found on one of our walks, and the top piece is a sterling silver hollow form with a high polish. This is one amazing piece. It was so much working with my son on this. 

Almost done

I have been working on this piece for little while now and it is almost done. The top piece is a hollow form with a high mirror polish. The second is a stone that was found by my son, Quinn on one of our hikes. He had asked to help set the bottom piece, which is a piece of sea glass that I found almost 10 years ago in Rhode Island. I was so excited that he wanted to learn how to set. We are going to be setting today and I can not wait. So much fun!!!

Working away

Over the last weekend Quinn was working in the studio. He made a necklace for himself and told me that he would like to be my jewelry student. What an amazing kid we have!!

Earrings

These are a fabulous pair of puddles and pebbles earring that I finished last week. They have a high shine on them and the pebbles have been oxidized to bring out the texture. I love these!!

From my bench

 Yesterday I was sitting at my bench and thinking what a great view I have from it. The image above is my bench with a ton of projects, pottery shards, stones that my son found for me and gemstones. I love the look of my bench it just stirs creativity for me.

The image above is what I see from the window in front of my bench. The side of our yards and our fire pit with our fabulous chairs. One of these days we are going to get around to painting them. I am thinking a two bright yellow and one teal, or maybe the other way around.
