2010 is here..

it's here-- a turning of a decade. it seemed such a short time ago that we were emerging from the end of century and now here we are in the early stages of a new century. we've bridged the ending and beginning of two centuries-- there seems something poignant about that.. something exciting..

i've taken a brief break from my studio to enjoy the holidays and try to get caught up with a few things around my home-- and just to decompress a bit. i'm enjoying staying tucked inside and wrapped in my robe or cozy sweater and pjs until late in the morning-- it's such a treat-- almost seems decadent!

in the meantime i've been photographing some new pieces for my jewelry shop --just a few things ready for the new year.  i'll reopen my etsy jewelry shop in several days. i still have much to do when i get back to work in my studio-- i have a lot of ideas, just not sure which direction they will take me at this point. that's the best part--

here are some forged sterling silver bangles in a set of five with hammered disks, cups and citrine stone interspersed around the bands. light and comfortable to wear. i will offer the bangles in varying sizes to accommodate.

a sweet and simple sterling silver ring with three cups, the center one has fused 23 kt gold leaf. this will be available for made to order in individual ring sizes.
