This weekend I dropped off 70 pieces for the 12th Annual Winter Arts & Crafts EXPO at the Evanston Art Center. It was a veritable tagging fest the night before. The EXPO opens on Friday evening and will be open to the public Monday through Saturday 10 am to 4 pm and Sundays 12 pm […]
I made a few new pendants this month that I almost do not want to part with. The studio has been shiny and bright, luring me in. Someone posted Isaiah 55:12 in a piece of their work, so I went to my art Bible and ripped that page out for a pendant. Don’t you love […]
My offline life is speeding up so the online blog is getting off-schedule. Here’s a peek at what pulls me away from the computer these days. In mid-October I was able to purchase Brenda Schweder’s Now That’s A Jig Starter Kit, which I eagerly anticipated. I consulted with Brenda via email on the various Rounds […]

Yesterday I picked up my Kedzie’s Red Admirals diptych from the Ecology Center as one part of the Adult Show & Tell Show closes. It was fun to peruse the lovely art work by other Evanstonians earlier this month. It is always inspiring to see artists interpret nature themes and be inspired by them. Nature […]
The Ravenswood ArtWalk turned out to be a good event for me. On Saturday we had the coldest day of the season, which had me running home to get a heavier coat after my coffee run. No one was ready to get their winter coats out, but even gloves were necessary. I have to say […]
I’ve been enjoying the weather and nature so much that promoting my jewelry has been backburnered a bit. But you’ll see me wear and can peruse fun pieces at NEW’s Crain’s Small Business Week Event on Wednesday. My Chakra Bangle and Twinsy Dancing Spirals are with me most often. The Morpho Butterfly wax and wire […]

Time is a’flying, and this coming weekend I will be packing up and putting my wares out at the 13th Annual Tour of Arts & Industry. My booth will be at the Ravenswood ArtWalk Detour in Tent B on Ravenswood and Berteau. The official Art walk kicks off with a reception on Friday, October 3, […]
“In the Victorian language of flowers, the forget-me-not means friendship, loving remembrance and fidelity.” ~ Witchipedia Forget-Me-Nots are my favorite flower, and when they blossomed in May I took oodles of photos. I had an unfinished diptych laying around so I pulled those cradled boards out and started color-coordinating. I looked up the healing properties […]
