More Mini Pendants!

In my Etsy shop...

The Catalog is Done!!

I have a pile of pages just back from Kinko's that need to be bound. And I still need to type up my line sheet with actual prices. But I just have to take a moment to celebrate that this never-ending project is actually coming together. Here's the first one...





If you know of a shop that should be carrying my work (and, thus, should receive one of these beauties), please let me know.

All smiles...

I got a delightful email on Wednesday from the Victoria & Albert Museum web team. They're putting up a page on their website featuring selected pieces from their "Find... Make... Wear..." flickr group - and they chose one of my pieces for inclusion (see above)! I am so thrilled - partly because it's the V&A and that's just a huge honor for me - partly because this is the piece that launched my current design direction (and the first piece I made with natural materials) - and partly because I'll be in the company of some amazing artists that I truly admire. Will post a link when it's up.

In the meantime, after gushing to my colleague at my day job, she gifted me this card, which totally made my day...

Front Page!

What a fun April Fool's present! My Window pendant made the front page of Etsy today. I missed it, but fellow seller Gina of CheapBoutique grabbed a screen shot for me. Thanks Gina! And thanks to Dorothy of DorothyDomingo for curating the treasury!

This is no April Fool's joke

The new little pendants are up in my etsy shop! Or, rather, the first four of them are. All that photo-taking and photo-editing and etsy-listing is time-consuming, so I thought I'd space it out a bit. Take a gander...

Lookin' Good...

I'm giving these little pendants one more day for the shellac to dry fully, and then I'll start listing them in my etsy shop. I'm quite happy with how they've turned out!

(The one on the left has a single small flower bud and the one on the right has lots of little bits of leaves.)

Studio Weekend

Ahhh... how nice to spend some quality time with my studio and all my tools. Lately, I've been so busy with a gazillion other things that I haven't spent any time actually making anything. So, I spent the whole day yesterday and today creating a pile of charm-style pendants. My fingers hurt and my body is tired, but I'm so excited about these little guys.


It takes some time for the shellac to dry fully. But, I hope to have these new pieces finished up in the next day or two, so that I can start listing them.


And the aftermath at my workbench...
