Plowshares Craftsfair and Peace Festival!!

It is once again almost time for Plowshares, my final show of the year, and also one of my favorites! Full of good energy and friends, this is a really fun show.  Its a great note to end on after a super busy year.   Below are some recent pieces I thought I'd share with you.  The rings and labradorite necklace will be available at Plowshares.  The raven pieces all sold at the Delavan opening, but I wanted to share them anyway because I'm super fond of them, and might make more:)  Have a great Holiday everyone!!!

Three rings: garnet, peach moonstone, and turquoise with peridot.

Labradorite wreath of leaves.  

Ravens, with black drusy, turquoise, 14k, and blue topaz.  

Of Ladders, Lace, and Twigs

Here's a preview of some pieces that will be for sale this weekend at the Delevan Open Studio Event! You can find me in my studio on the second floor.  There will be wine and snacks, (and jewelry!). I hope to see you there!  

Ladder earrings with gem silica, snowflakes with jasper, and lace agate earrings.

"Arwen": sterling silver twig necklace with crystal.

You're Invited!!

Join us for this annual event, meet several Delavan artists, enjoy wine and snacks, and catch up on your Holiday shopping.  You can find me in my studio, #219 on the second floor.  I will have many new pieces for the show.  Hope to see you there!!!

Angels and Turquoise

I thought I'd share a quick post of some earrings finished this week.  I'm really fond of these designs, and plan to replicate them, particularly the angel wings.  I hope everyone is having a lovely autumn.  It certainly has been a gorgeous one in Upstate NY!!

Giving Tree Gallery

I am very excited to announce that my work will now be available in Massachusetts on the Cape! Giving Tree Jewelry in Sandwich, MA expressed interest in my work, and after visiting their lovely gallery, I was happy to accept their invitation.  My pieces will be on view there within the next few days, and eventually will also be available on their website.  Follow the link to the right for more information about them.  If you visit don't miss a walk into their beautiful gardens as well!

It seems almost inconceivable that it is already mid-October!!!  The last few months have been so crazy busy they seem to have flown by like a gust of wind.  It occurred to me this week that it is already time to work on pieces for the Holiday season!!  Below is a collection that will be going to Gallery 54 later this week:  labradorite, azurite, and skulls for the season:) 

I also just completed a collection of tree pendants and earrings.  I've been making these for years and years, but my customers love them, and they are perfect for gift-giving, so here they are!

A Locket

Sometimes everyone needs an angel, right?  A dear loved one of mine recently faced something that could have been fatal, and we are oh so thankful that he pulled through.  I think he had a guardian angel by his side.  With him in mind, I made this angel wing locket.  It sold last weekend at the Clothesline Festival, but I plan to make more, just in case someone else needs a guardian angel along for the ride:)

 

Summer's End

Alas, all summers must come to an end, but I'm looking forward to the Clothesline Festival in September and the gorgeousness of the Upstate New York autumn.  I was recently able to attend a gem festival in Massachusetts where I purchased an awesome variety of stones, most of which are still available for customer orders.  I also wanted to share a photo of a collection of pendants recently completed. Follow the link to the right for more details about the upcoming Clothesline Festival in Rochester!
