My Trip to the San Francisco Bay Area

Poolside at the Fairmont, that was luxury! It was a whirlwind, five-day, vacation with my daughter, Samantha!! Jesse's mother, Jill, invited me into her home and was a wonderful host and guide. We did a walk-about of their hometown, Petaluma, just north of the bay area off Hwy 101. It's a big town with small town ambience, very nice! Also took in the American Graffiti Road Rally on Sat.,

Wire-Wrap Jewelry Artist :)

One of the first jewelry designers I was inspired by is Kim Miraglia, her handcrafted jewelry at ebay became a favorite shop to visit. She has a signature style in wire-wrapped cabs that often feature flowing spirals and open wraps that accentuate the beauty of the stone. I have purchased several of her silver wire-wrapped cabochons AND in celebration of my "50th", a gorgeous intarsia earrings

Artists Among Us

Don't you love receiving emails of breathtaking landscape pictures, amazing works of art, exceptional performances, things that you'd have to travel the world over to discover, I do! Dee, a dear friend and co-worker, forwarded an awesome slide show to me last night of Bruno's Art & Sculpture Garden in Australia. At work today, we learned that it burned in a bushfire in February which also took

Dreamin' of Summer

With the temperature finally warming here in West Michigan, visions of colorful blooms are racing through my head. The crocuses have come and gone, saw the first forsythia in blossom two days ago, I hope the little daffodil buds haven't been harmed by this week's overnight frosts! Added some photos of last year's new daylilies at My flickr. I'm anxious to greet the newest varieties that bring the

My favorite website was created by Eni Oken, a jewelry artist with a great passion to share her knowledge and talent and that of many other jewelry designers who contribute tutorials, articles, and photos of their work. I am tremendously inspired by the creativity of these independant artists from all over the globe. It is the most helpful and welcoming website for jewelry designers and there is

My Precious ;)

Way past time for an update! Thought I'd share pics of the many semi-precious stones I've been collecting that are anxiously awaiting inspiration and wire. Many have been purchased online and the rest have come from local shops and rock & gem shows. There are focal beads (drilled), designer cabochons (to be wire-wrapped), and many strands of beads. Also included in my stock are natural and dyed

New project

2009-02-08T15:08:00.002-05:00

Welcome to my first blog and post!My most recent passion is delving into designing jewelry, which came about after paying too much for a necklace that I knew I could make for myself, given the access to the materials. After accumulating alot of strands of stones and pendant beads and basic tools to begin, I've made several necklaces for family and friends. I focus on the uniqueness of the focal
