New Pieces, Big Plans

Here's some new jewelry finally.
I actually have been working and my poor husband can attest to that by the mess in our living area.
Unfortunately, having three blogs can be a little daunting sometimes. Actually, I don't know why, nobody ever really reads this do they? I guess I do it for myself and try not to beat up on myself when I take a month or even a few as a break and to build up some subject matter. However, I'd love feedback of places/ stores I should be approaching to wholesale my jewelry. If you have any ideas I'd be ever so grateful.

Thanks all,

My Curiously Creepy Creation

Unknown Artist Inspiration

While shopping in Northwest Portland, My Mom and I came across a little vintage shop that had these remarkable little collage boxes and I was inspired. I wish I could give credit to the artist, but alas, I don't even have the name of the shop. Stay tuned for something strange I just created with a dolls head I found while in Portland! Needless to say, it is not my husbands favorite centerpiece.

On the Jewelry Front

"Grit and Glamour"

photography: Megan Luke

stylist: Jaci Robinson


I met the stylist Jaci at a denim store she works in on Robertson. While chatting we discovered that we both have a serious love of vintage clothing and both hail from Salem, Oregon. Jaci used some of my pieces in a photo shoot a few weeks later. She's way talented and I'm so appreciative to both her and Megan for this wonderful job.

Dear Lady

I think I'll call this "Lady in Cloche"

By the way, these paintings are originals painted on acrylic on paper, 7" x 22" and sell for $120 unframed.

My Long-necked Ladies Coming On Strong!

I haven't given a title to this lady portrait,
but she has a sort of Art Noveau, hippie look about her I think.

No matter what subject I delve into
I can honestly say that
the lady paintings come the most naturally for me.

I also love to add other elements from nature,
such as flowers, fruit, birds and bugs to these pieces.

Just talking about it makes me want to spend the day painting!
