A good friend says her new favorite color is light bright green. Her comment helped pull me out of my creative void! These will be going to High Hand Gallery in Loomis.
While I worked at both Auburn Old Town Gallery and High Hand Gallery this weekend, I did demos. Here are a few of the results. Both galleries have some new earrings from me now!
But it was nice and cool while working yesterday, July 4, at Auburn Old Town Gallery. I added my latest pieces to my display there.
Chartreuse glass from Murano, Italy on gold-filled wires. Moonstone and soapstone on sterling wires.
…which is great, because I am able to spread all my treasures out and find new combinations! Just completed is this pendant and earring set. I prefer sets which aren’t too identical, but which have some common beads in them. … Read More
But I am rather fond of yesterday’s earrings. The lower bead is Murano glass. Tiny disk is turquoise stone, topped by my polymer bead and a copper cap. Suspended from hypoallergenic niobium wires–and I can’t convince myself to sell this … Read More
A rare day for me; I don’t need to go ANYwhere! So I get to stay in my studio and create.
Time for a journey–to New Mexico. Even though my passion is making polymer beads, I also love natural turquoise stones and frequently incorporate them into my pieces. I replenished my turquoise collection at a fantastic mineral/bead shop in Albuquerque, Mama’s … Read More

Sometimes the ideas just keep coming! These will be installed at Auburn Old Town Gallery today or tomorrow.
The seed was planted in February 2012 and now the finished pieces have been installed in both Auburn Old Town Gallery (The Art of the Heart exhibit) and High Hand Gallery. My take on hearts…
I just dropped my latest new earring creations off at High Hand Gallery yesterday–included are some clip on earrings for those who have chosen not to pierce!
I’ve been in the sweet candy mode–lots of new holiday earrings and necklaces have already appeared in both Auburn Old Town Gallery and High Hand Gallery in Loomis. I’ve got a few more beads to assemble–here they are!

This is a small collection. It will never be reproduced exactly because it was a spontaneous idea created from a demonstration I did last summer during Eisley Nursery’s “Art in the Garden” show. These pieces incorporate the mokume gane (mocha … Read More
