Whenever I do my Etsy shoots, I try to also wear the pieces out and about for a photo record of how they look in real life, like this blue beaded pendant, ring and earring set. Sweaterdress season is almost over, and this jade stone collar looks great with knits. It’s fun to mix and […]

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 […]
I haven’t been taking many jewelry selfies lately, though I always get compliments on the Maraviglia I am wearing. Earlier this summer I wore Blessed are you among Women out paired with my favorite twinsy spirals. At NEW’s anniversary party I wore my bangles, which pretty much go with all my outfits and can be […]
After Saturday’s fair I swung by Aurora Rose Boutique to stock up some Holiday inventory. The Network of Entrepreneurial Women is stopping by at 2 p.m. today for its combined November gathering so I wanted to give our attendees some pieces to peruse for our pre-holiday shopping spree. Kim had asked me about scarf pendants […]
On Saturday I will be selling my wares at the Lemont Neighbor to Neighbor Vendor & Crafter’s Market. The indoor show is from 9 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at the Lemont Township Community Center, 16300 Alba, Lemont, northwest of 127th Street and Timberline Drive. Several independent vendors and crafters will showcase free trade items, jewelry, […]
Here are some Maraviglia I paraded around town recently (with numerous compliments). Have you seen Hello Holiday’s Derica Dresses? I can’t part with the double spiral earrings (YET!), but will replicate the pattern to list soon. New earrings right off the anvil, ready for their Aurora Rose debut. Painting Geneva red during a planning and pickup […]
I’m in the process of loading new pieces onto Etsy, a sampling of which is provided here: New in my Etsy store, with more to come! There are more to be loaded, and of course a lot more to be made! Etsy lovers who have favorited some pieces might notice a few mark-downs as well. […]
Tonight I get to nosh on delicious The Sugar Path Cupcakes again. Meanwhile the last few days were spent preparing cords to go with the pendants. I’m also toying around with various display ideas for the summer fair. It’s fun to think about branding. Tonight’s setup will be like last time, though. Oh, and the […]
Wow, it’s Friday already? Congratulations! Give yourself a round of applause for living the best week you could possibly have. It is all meant to be, and you’ve done your best. Creativity in action at Maike’s Marvels Yesterday was an immersion in Bento learning. It should be a handy program once I have figured out […]
The other day I pulled a Bible page and created a new pendant. I placed the text I wanted to remain legible on the back of the pendant. Do you agree or would you want your favorite verse to be on the front, even if a wire embellishment obscures the text? Then I realized the […]
