Happy February!

It has been a productive year so far!

I am working hard in the studio this past month replenishing my stock 

and designing some new things for 2012.

My Atlanta friends can find my work at Kudzu and 

I will be showing some new work at the RAD show on Feb. 11th.

I would love to see your smiling faces!

My new goal is to try to post more studio shots and show some works in progress.

I am inspired by my fellow metal working friend Louise O' Dwyer

Who has been posting her works in progress.

When you want to play with fire!

Torches!

  They seem to be the subject of conversation among silversmiths, goldsmiths and metalworkers...

Some torches are great for small jobs,  and others do a fine job on larger projects.

When first starting out it is hard to know what you need...

Here is a short video on torches 

to help any of you who are getting ready to dive into the world of soldering jewelry!

Play safe!

Work in progress...

This is just the beginning... 

I am designing an entire collection of these colorful flowers!

The perfect mountain getaway!

A few pictures from one of my very favorite places... The North Carolina mountains!  A magical place that wraps you in a blanket of misty mornings and clear night skies, where every turn brings a new vision of peace and tranquility...  Soon to be my new home!
