The sweet emails continue. I helped this couple fabricate their wedding rings right before they jetted off to India for days of wedding festivities. “Hi Wendy, We got our wedding photos…..share a couple of them with you. Thank you so much for the amazing ring making experience.” You know I’m smiling!! #weddingrings #weddingringfabrication #iloveteaching #theseringshaveastory

What to wear for a date with a vampire?🧛♀️🦇 Bat earrings! It took me five years to figure out a design for these unique and beautiful (and very pricey) sugilite trillion cabs made by azurz . The earrings are 4.5 inches long, made with sterling and fine silver with 24k gold Keum Boo, fused silver dust, the awesome sugilite pair, and two pretty-pretty amethysts by wonderfulgemstone .

I staged this lil photo shoot in my studio a few weeks ago while working on some French hooks and a few enamels. Why was I trying to take headshots of myself in my studio? I needed some to accompany my jewelry parachute.gallery for the relaunch of their space as a retail craft gallery. Come check out the my work along the other fabulous artists in the space next Thursday, details on the second slide.
