well, the count down is on for my departure to st. louis for the clayton art fair. i am heading north one week from today.  i am debating on finishing a couple more pieces....but first i will finish up the pieces that are in their last stages. when is enough, enough?? is the question?  i am pricing, sanding, waxing, organizing, packing and freaking out a little....that it's almost here. i'm excited and exhausted all at the same time.  i'll be there with bells on!!  i just posted this piece and a handful of other new pieces that i will have at the show in my shop today. have a look.see.

these are rough "sketches" of a new round of work i hope to soon bring to life...yay!!  the primary materials will be soft fibers like felt or vintage fabric, sewn repurposed plastics and some vintage materials collaged together to make assymetrical pendant necklaces, brooches and head pieces with a bit less emphasis on the metalwork.  i am really excited about the potential and new direction of these little babes  :O)

i am tuckered out from an amazing day at handmade austin women.  it was a blast!!  nighty nite...

puff earrings

puff-earrings2.jpg the new puff earrings are now available featuring my new handmade poms....here is the first of it's kind in a delicious orange :O)

they remind me of the dandelion blooms after they die and all that is left is the beautiful airy & ghost-like seed puff with the gazillion tiny little seeds just waiting patiently for a strong gust of wind to set them free.  i remember picking these transparent little gems in my back yard growing up.
