i have been procrastinating a bit to much today, but i guess it has payed off. i just saw one of my necklaces on the etsy homepage. i am so excited. i usually miss it and only find out thru email. happy dancin’ thanks so much for including my piece “3dots”.
this is one of the pieces i am working on now…..the sculptural grapes along with the polyps :O) i am excited to see what it looks like when it’s cleaned up with the stones set and oxidized. i finished my etsy order limpet necklace today and the piece for the male client. i will post pics. when i can get some good ones in the day light tomorrow.
i wanted to share an older favorite piece of mine made of chrysocolla drusy, turquoise, and a piece of found glass. (2004)
this is one of the two listings that was featured on the front page of etsy this week. yippity-yeah……i missed them both so i don’t know what the other listing is since it has already expired. thanks for the heads up molly.
as i am sitting here updating some images on my etsy page with a few new pieces i’m feeling like i need a starbs today. i have a few things to finish in the studio….a sold piece on etsy and the birthday gift for a male client, a going away party for some good friends of ours who are moving to harrisburg, pa, and a backyard drink and fire shin-dig this evening. i better get in gear and get a move on….none of those plans include a trip to starbs so i am going to pretend and make one at home urggghhh 
never quite the same. but, it will suffice.
a resin ring maker, molly emailed me this morning and told me i was on the front page of etsy this week. i missed it both times….but was super happy to find out. thanks, molly!!!
happy sunday.
this photograph makes me smile. when i was growing up i had a bubble gum pink swim cap but not with all the fun sculptural plastic flowers like this vintage photo. the saturated color, the texture on the swim caps, the teal blue eyeshadow and the all around prettiness make me love it so…….artist:Koto Bolofo.
some new float pillow earrings: the brown ones are a new color from a cleaner’s zip-up garment bag stitched with the moss green thread.
the red material i have used before from an estee lauder bag with a new stitch color in electric strawberry red.
the rings i have been dreaming about in my sleep……..molly proctor makes fabulous, completely handmade vintage inspired resin rings. BIG YEAH!!!! i have been looking for solid colored rings with a clean and simple design made out of plastic for far to long….with no real success. most of the plastic and resin rings have a design of flowers or stripes which have never appealed to me. BUT, molly’s rings are perfect in every way, the shapes, the colors, the whole kit and kaboodle :O)
this piece “gomer” was made by an old art fair friend of mine, betsy youngquist. she makes these amazing and incredibly ornate sculptures made of glass beads, vintage glass and refused vintage doll parts from old doll factories. we met my first year participating in the laumeier sculpture park art festival in missouri in 2001. can gomer come out and play, a.k.a. come live with me :O)
i just finished up this new acid green polyp necklace today…….
