My design philosophy is to create pieces that beautifully balance simplicity and femininity with a modern aesthetic. I create each design with a unique combination of colors, textures and metals while at the same time retaining simplicity. |

The Studio
Studio Song
I LOVE this song. You will first have to get past the vulgarity in this song, then you will get it stuck in your head and want to hear it again and again. It’s simply called Fuck You, by Cee Lo.
The beginnings of a shop update
Well, haven’t I been quiet?! I’ve been keeping up with orders and working on some custom designs. And, feeling pretty yucky physically, so my energy has been low and blogging sounded too hard. Plus, when you hurt, it’s hard to sound happy and upbeat. Not to worry – I have a Dr’s appointment on Monday [...]
Studio Tour
I took some time to clean my frighteningly filthy, cluttered, unorganized studio a couple weeks ago. After a lot of organizing, sorting, and scrubbing my studio shined! It looked so nice I thought I had better document it. It would be just days until it was back to being a big old mess. Enjoy!
My studio…

Show and Tell Time + Next Week’s News
Well, finally! I can show you my new gift from myself to myself! She came the other day and I still haven’t attached the handle, but soon… It’s a bench shear! So excited! I can’t tell you how long my money clips take me…saw a crooked line, then sand and sand and sand…and sand some [...]

The making of a Ruffle Ring
I’ve been making a few Ruffle Rings lately. I love making this ring. Each one is just a little different and I fall in love with each one. Yesterday while making some, I decided to take some process photos. It’s harder than I thought! I really have a hard time [...]
A day in the studio feels good
Ahhh, finally I have a full day of jewelry making! Such a great feeling. A full day only because I have a cold and am moving about 30% slower than usual. I have a little cloud in my brain today and I’m trying to listen to fun music to get me moving [...]
New Tools = New Techniques
I LOVE tools. I love researching new ones, getting new ones, and of course, practicing new techniques with them. I just got a few extra toys, so, I finally am set up to do some basic soldering. I fuse with fine silver all the time, which takes less steps and less heat, but there is [...]
Studio Transformation!
Well, FINALLY! My studio got some LOVE this last week or so. Of course, the project took on a life of it’s own, and was a bit more time consuming than I first thought – but I don’t even care anymore! I am loving how it turned out. There are still a few things to do, but [...]
