Busy Busy Busy...
New jewelry coming soon! I have been playing with some new charms and searching for some new discs to use with my personalized stamped collection. I'll be adding some new items and photos this week! March has kicked of the Bridal business, I have been doing a lot of bridesmaid gifts and bridal jewelry sets! Fun! I'm very flattered that my jewelry will be a participant in someone's big day. :)

STUDIO A
progress....

STUDIO A
before.....

I am planning on being open for business nest week 3/8! My new studio is looking great. Pictures are hung and jewelry is displayed. It has been a lot more work than I thought initially. Paint, lighting, counters, payment processing, designing receipts..... Fun but busy!
I think Monday I'll be painting. Lots of ideas for subjects.
Jewelry has been selling steadily on ETSY which is now being crafted in my new studio...great transition.
I'm thinking of taking on other artisans already. And am looking for a line of home fragrance/candles to carry. I want to be one of those locations where when you walk in it smells amazing!!
I will be posting photos soon!

I have exciting news!!! I will be opening a working studio in the village of Ada!
My projected open date is March 1st. I will have studio and gallery space to work, create, & exhibit my art. I'm very excited and hope to get many visitors. I'll provide address soon.

Happy 40th Dora

I made this hand stamped necklace for one of my best friends! She had been looking at similar designs that were outrageously expensive. I used my signature chain, a hand forged sterling disc and a wire wrapped gem from my collection. It was awesome! I am adding these to my line. I have hand stamped initials, anniversary dates, and statement words (like "live", "laugh" etc., etc.).

and so it begins...

Today I decided I am going to do everything I can to draw awareness to my talents. I earned an art degree over 17 years ago and I am still trying to figure out what to do with it. Today is the first day of my full time art career. Whether I am painting or designing jewelry, I am resolving to become more serious where my creations take me.

I can't wait to see where it leads....
