Experimentation

Just created this polymer clay cabochon ring, can hardly wait to try other ideas using this technique!

Natural Inspirations

 Taking creative inspiration from forms found in nature, here are some photos that I hope will inspire me to get to work on something new...

Flea Market Loot!

Have disassembled some of this to create new jewelry, this was a great haul!

Antique Button Rings

Had a blast recently making these adjustable rings inset with antique and vintage buttons from my vast collection...by the way the hand model is a vintage mannequin hand! https://www.etsy.com/shop/capecottagedesigns

Mini Painting Pendants

I've been working on more of my mini painting pendants. These are all landscapes of Cape Cod.  First I create a 1"x1" watercolor painting, then scan in high resolution and have copies made, then I go over each one with artist grade colored pencils so that each is unique. Finally I wrap and solder each and solder a sterling silver bail. I plan on working on some other ideas: flowers..whatever else catches my fancy!

Admiration for other's work...

These and many others inspire me to explore all that can be created with beads!

Different Strokes...

Crystal, fiber, mixed media, natural stone, metal....it's all good and all a part of my personality!
