My latest Inspira bracelet is entitled “Plaça Reial” – after a famous plaza in the Barri Gòtic of Bacelona. I shot the plaza last fall. The bracelet is a different style than the others, to try and evoke more of the gothic/artsy vibe so intense in Barcelona – neither the chaotic charm bracelet nor the delicate…

Kiluea is an active volcano in the Hawaiian Islands. Last spring, my girlfriend and I celebrated 20 years of friendship by traveling together to Hawaii. I think the most intense, and awe-inspiring part of that trip was a 4am boat trip we took, on 20 foot waves, to see Kiluea pouring lava into the ocean…

I’m inspired by so many things, and I love to express that inspiration in so many different mediums. Lately I’ve been playing with an idea called ‘Inspira’ – the idea that a photo can inspire a bracelet, that a skein of hand dyed wool can inspire a pottery glaze, that a sunset can be expressed…

I wanted to show off a purse that someone ordered from me recently – it’s crocheted in an open shell pattern holding one strand of worsted brown yarn with one strand of Tanis’ Blue Label Mallard. The handle is leather from Americo Original on Queen West. I added vintage buttons and crocheted flowers to finish…

So my mom has decided to take it upon herself to design jewelry too, and her aesthetic is wonderful and natural and very playful. She designed and I constructed a piece together yesterday that I wanted to share here, (and on top of that, she art directed my photography!). I am loving that she’s into…
