It’s time for some Summer Selfies as I process numerous photos from my August travels. The Yellow Agate Set visited a few stores this quarter while the pink flower wax and wire pendant was admired during NEW’s recent Meet & Munch.

This Saturday I will be surrounded by flowers and garden sculptures as I set up my shop at Bloomingdale’s Platt Hill Nursery. Last year’s Platt-A-Palooza was a blast, and I hope to find new and returning admirers of my jewelry and mini-collages this year. It was fun to browse the other tables and see all […]
It’s been a jam-packed summer. I was featured on the FUSEDChicago Facebook page. I saw my friends MyHealthBeet and ConnectedTissue wear their lovely new pendants out and about.

The song is really called: Where the River Shannon Flows. There’s a pretty spot in Ireland I always claim […]
This summer has been so busy that a deadline on my calendar snuck op on me. I only had one day before submissions were due for Edges, Morpho Gallery’s fourth annual encaustic show. I was part of Wax(‘N)Blue two years ago and always love the way this annual show comes together. I decided to continue […]
On the last Sunday of June Ahavani Mullen and I took a road trip to Michigan to launch our first FUSEDChicago Studio tours. Carol Myers drove us over to Kalamazoo for Cat Crotchett’s studio tour. Former president and FUSEDChicago founder Shelley Gilchrist met us there and we were awed by the spaciousness of her studio […]
