June into July

Working with Andrea Everman and Owly Shadow Puppets to make soft puppets for the Children's Theatre of Charlotte in NC. 

In progress shots of The Ugly Duckling, Goldilocks and the Three Bears.


And another commission: fun centerpieces for a dinner event.....

Repairs and Fixes

Prepping some props for another Redmoon gig next week.

Today I re-feathered the flapping wings.  These are tough little things, and thankfully this is the last alteration they'll have to undergo.  We're planning a complete redesign for the summer.

I'm also giving a few swan headdresses some needed TLC.  Andrea Everman made these pretty swans years ago and they're still pulled for special events. 

New zippers, a little paint, extra stitches.  ​

Something for Myself

After taking a few years off from heavy jewelry making, I am drifting back into my world and home. 

I own so many wonderful pieces of jewelry from friends and fellow metalsmiths, but I've been ignoring the strange truth that I've never made anything for myself.  Unbelievable!!  ​Recently I stumbled upon the ear cuff's fashion comeback, and instantly knew this would be my piece. 


Long overdue but not too late; simplified, designed, and customized for me

I'll post more in-progress photos soon!​
