I left home with over 3 dozen pieces of jewelry, and didn't even have one pair of earrings to wear on the way home. Wow. And I have orders for over a dozen more. All of a sudden I am so busy.....a wonderful problem to have....

Wonderful new lime green starts - part 1

I don't know why, but I'm on a lime green kick right now. Feels like lazy days of summer, and going barefoot in freshly cut grass. My friend, famous water color artist Marni Lawson, did some wonderful new starts in all shades of green - especially lime - and I'm itching to start using them.

Thought it might be interesting to show what the watercolor paintings look like BEFORE they get cut up into little pieces...and then what the jewelry looks like afterwards. So this is the first part....the front and back of some watercolor starts. It will be a collaboration - Marni's art on the front and mine (you'll immediately know which is which) on the back.

Stay tuned for part 2................

New designs for summer sparkle

Just finished a couple more pieces of jewelry - some new sparkly designs and new shapes - circles! Was inspired by summertime shapes, and some new watercolors in pinks and purples...
