I have been working on a secret project and am excited to share a sneak peek with you. I have to admit that I had been dragging my feet on introducing this into my running line because it isn’t a material I have worked with before. But, I finally took the plunge and ordered the supplies. After a few days of anxiously checking my mail box the package finally came on Monday. I am delighted to begin offering this piece in my running jewelry line and the big reveal is on Friday in the Running Jewelry section of my […]more

A Fall Drive Through the Utah Mountains
I love having this accessible to me within just a few hours drive. I took this picture on a drive through the Nebo Loop. The fall leaves are changing and the air is getting crisp. As you can see we have already gotten a bit of snow. Although the fall season is usually short, it is one of my favorites. The pups seem to like it as well and race through piles of leaves. I am growing more and more excited for the snows I know are coming. Here is to changing seasons and to warm socks 🙂
Sterling Silver Lotus and Aqua Blue Apatite
This stone was an impulse buy. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it. Sometimes I buy a stone and know that someday it will make its way into a piece when the time is right and the stone is ready to share what it should become.

A rough stone is one that hasn’t been shaped and polished like most stones people are used to wearing. This […]more

Professional Development – Online Class
It is important to invest into yourself and your education. So this weekend, that is exactly what I am going to do. I am excited to be a part of the Revere Academy‘s very first webinar. I would really like to take some metalsmithing classes from them at some point as well. This class is called Prepare for Success with Harriete Estel Berman . It is a two day class and covers a lot of different aspects of running an art business. When I first started selling my work I was pretty naive and believed that I would just […]more

Prehnite Sterling Silver Wide Band Ring
Another prehnite piece fresh from the studio. I have wanted to make a ring with a wider band for a while now, but just hadn’t gotten around to it. After staring at my drawer of stones for a while I decided this little square prehnite was going to be the one. I am not sure why I have been drawn to this stone so much lately. It has such a mysterious glow and I love the ethereal icy green color. I guess it seems like there is some magic in this stone, just waiting to be used. The band […]more
