The last of the Brickworks pieces is a familiar site, but one I never get tired of. This is my signature ‘I ♥ Autumn’ design, using white birch back and deep red sumach leaves. The piece is contained in a copper bezel, antiqued by hand. I love those little spots of copper green, sometimes a…

My second brickworks piece for the Etsy Holiday Sale is a similar treatment to yesterdays beauty, but minus the steampunk factor. Instead of being contained in an antique copper bezel this one is in a large, round, silver plated bezel. The Queen Anne’s lace is separated from the maple leaf base by a layer of…

This Tuesday I will be listing my very last pieces of resin for sale through Etsy. After those pieces are gone, the Etsy site will focus exclusively on my knitting patterns and I will produce resin for sale by commission only. It was a tough decision for me – but I can only pump energy…

This morning I uploaded my final (fingers crossed) manuscript to be printed, and I couldn’t be happier. So much work, thought, creativity and time has gone into this puppy, and I feel that it shows. My editors and proof readers have been amazing, the response from folks who’ve seen it has been really positive, and…

I wanted to share an update to my Etsy shop – resin rings have been added to my Autumn collection! These rings contain real autumn leaves, vintage sequins and occasional embellishments like sprigs of Queen Anne’s lace. They are both in antique copper for now, though I’ll be making some in copper, silver and gold…
