welcome autumn!

1 December 2010

These past few weeks have been so busy as I prepare for Bazaar Bizarre it has been hard to sneak in a few minutes to appreciate what is around me. I have been trying to take in autumn while it is still here, but mostly I just get to the studio and back home again. […]

studio sundays

30 November 2010

Sometimes, I slow down in the studio and take in my surroundings. Like the pictures I hang up for inspiration on shape or color. Such photos may hang for quite sometime before I discover the influence they have on me. Then one day, I notice that I am doing more than looking at these photos. […]

monday’s muse

29 November 2010

Once long ago I came across what I thought to be an amazing find, a diamond in the rough. There in front of me was image after image of work I loved. Pages filled with craft, striking handmade objects, in mediums I was studying. I carried my first American Craft magazine around with me like […]

oh, montmartre, je vous adore tellement

25 November 2010

I am quite certain I can say Montmartre is my favorite place on earth. It was the first adventure we took in Paris. My first and best omelette, my first night in my favorite city, walking hand in hand with husband. Oh, and I can’t forget, my first taste of pomme frites. Here is the […]

welcome autumn!

24 November 2010

Before Tuesday got all blustery and leaves started to blow around like snow, Callie and I took a stroll on the Boulevard. Though we live close by we don’t get to the other end all that often. The end with the most flowers which have now dried up and gone to seed. I love the […]

My poppy earrings have really started to take off this sale season. Finally! I started making them in poppy colors and I think it has helped. Though I love red, orange and yellow I thought I needed a little something to mix things up. So, I did a little research and found this poppy in […]

This may just be the most beautiful posts to ever grace my blog. It isn’t of any doing of my own. Bettina Speckner is an amazing jeweler, artisan and designer. I had the pleasure of attending one of her lectures. I heard of her love of cows and watched her mouth watering slide show as […]

object fetish fridays : Karola Torkos

21 November 2010

On my first glimpse at Karola Torkos‘ work I was drawn in by the simplicity of the design below. A simple circle repeated. Somehow modern and classic all in one. Then I saw this familiar object, a push pin. Clustered together and plated in gold, they make for stunning earrings. When I saw these clusters […]

supermarket saturdays : Lola Riera Jewelry

20 November 2010

Seeing as how I write mostly of jewelry I try and choose a craft other than jewelry for my supermarket saturdays post. But, Lola Riera Jewelry was too good to pass up. There is something wonderful in the simplicity of Cristina’s jewelry. Her work is comprised of monochromatic, easily recognizable shapes. But to the trained […]

lovely and local : Made in Lowell

19 November 2010

Just this past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting a local crafter. Long familiar with her cupcake pincusions {I have been eying them at Craftland for some time now!} I was more than happy to see her smiling face. Meet Liz of Made in Lowell….
