Happy FALL! It was a long and lovely summer, and now we are gradually moving to those colder days. I love the way the sun's light slants this time of year! Fall shows are lining up (See below) and holiday commissions are beginning to come in. If a special one of a kind gift is in your thoughts, please don't delay! Porcelain demands patience, and the coloring adn firing process is many steps. I'd like to make something special for you in plenty of time for the holidays! If you look me up at shows, you'll see the line of sculptured palm jewelry as well as more of the newer container designs, with myimpressions of bits of things that I've found on the beach and in the woods. These pieces are in the form of pendants ann brooches, in all kiinds of interesting colors! You'dd also find more sculptured bead pieces- I can't go long without working on some of those. I love the completeness of them. As always, strung on silk, with hand-wrought clasps in sterling or 14 karat yellow gold. For commissions, I can be reached here on the website, or here at the studio in Harpswell by appointment...and of course, I always welcome a visit at a show (schedule below). Come and see the new work when you can, shows and exhibitions are listed below, and will be updated as confirmations come in. My very best wishes to you.
