I almost forgot to post these new-ish earrings. I created them especially with Winter in mind, and today’s new snow reminded me to tell you about them. They remind me of icicles, but also of dragonfly wings, and spun sugar,…
My goodness, it’s been busy! I have been making new pieces in the new series, already, which are about to get cast, have met with my banker regarding RRSP’s (it’s that time of year), worked with my book keeper on…
It is time I began introducing you to my new work! First, the very berry Canadian “Maple” rings: these are real maple leafs pressed in silver. Each one is one-of-a-kind, just like every person and every Canadian visit is unique…

I want to show you a snapshot from my studio wall: I am showing you this because I have been thinking a lot about such things, and fiddling with minute details to get new print material ready for the wholesale…
I wanted to share with you how I see beauty everywhere. This photo was taken on an early morning walk last month. Isn’t it just gorgeous: the slightly frosted grass looks like luscious expensive fabric or fur . Although it…
Just an update on my exploration of lines… I have been playing and playing on paper and in wax, and have singled out some interesting elements. Now they are in the process of getting cast. I can never quite tell…
