autumn vines knitted bangle


 It's finished! This design has been in progress (mostly in my head) since June. A big thank you to my friends on the Creative Stash facebook page for helping me choose which art print to use as the centerpiece! "Autumn Leaves" was the clear winner and compliments the antique bezel by Kerri Fuhr beautifully. 


I really love the look of knitted jewelry, it has so much gorgeous texture! I still can't believe I made a piece of jewelry that looks this complicated. It's really not though. I am sharing how I created this knitted bangle in the April issue of Bead Trends! Take a peek and let me know what you think.

happy halloween


Wishing everyone a safe and happy Halloween!


Here are some of our Halloween adventures ...

tree ring painting and prints


My friends and artisans Heather and Fred of Heather and Fred Studios, fine art furniture for the contemporary home, have been generously allowing me to sift through there wood scraps for use with my wood paintings. As a token of my appreciation I wanted to give them a work of art on one of their wood blocks. What else do you paint for wood artisans then wood, right? I thought a tree ring painting would be a great way to honor both our crafts.

illuminated path painting and prints


This painting was created from intuition. It actually started out as a self-portrait attempt, when that didn't work out I painted over it and decided to just let whatever was inside come alive. I love trees so, naturally a forest came forth. Walking along this beautiful stone path at twilight, I imagine being struck with the awe of nature's beauty and am quite curious as to where this path may lead.
