I’ve been creating new pieces that aren’t up on Etsy, because as of today they are available for sale in a boutique. Yesterday I drove into Lemont, Illinois for the first time, which was a revelation. Just a short ride off I-55, entering via exit 271 offers a lovely view of a hillside town with many […]
This Saturday, the School for Little Children is hosting a fundraiser. I was invited to submit a silent auction item, so I decided to make a little angel. It was fun to dress her up. She is a pin, to serve as a guardian angel on a lapel or maybe a backpack. I made other […]
Last week I attended The Sugar Path’s first Girls’ Night Out pop-up event, which was a lovely gathering of women. Owner Michelle Adams kindly invited me to bring my Maraviglia wax and wire pendants. The Sugar Path was founded in 2011, when three sisters decided to pursue a love of baking. Michelle researched the food […]
I had more inspiration under the brightness of the chilly sun on Friday and created another Princess Scientist inspired batch. Who can resist such a sunny table? Princess Chocolatier emerged from reviewing the molecular structure of Theobromine. I attempted to emulate the loopy notches of a microchip for the Princess Programmer pendant, and was surprised to […]
I’ve just finished loading my new creations to Etsy. It’s always fun to describe my pieces, and let them go out into the world to make others happy.

Princess Lasertron’s ninth Radvent post is about Advice. I am not always good at taking advice. It occurs to me now that I tend to confuse advice with direction and even criticism at times. Being told to do something doesn’t always work for me, unless I am inviting the instruction in. So I will let […]
I’m not quite ready for the Holidays yet, but come December 1 I will be. I like to let Thanksgiving simmer a little bit before decking the halls and selecting my wreath. My inventory is ready for the holidays though, and I just brought my pieces over to PerficalSense Studio and Salon, where they will have […]
