It's time for Spring! It's all I can think about these days, in between melting snow flakes and pale rays of sunshine, the blue skies just autside the door.
​I replenished my inventory, I got all my Twists and Turns lined up and ready to spring forward with color! 
I also introduced the Bangle Sets to make life easier for everybody, so you can stack them up and have them all!

Speaking of sets, here is one with the Stick Pendants in various combinations.
They are ready to go on an adjustable black cotton cord with matching sliders for any length preference.

Not much into hearts, but have made a few in the years past.
Looking into my slide folders (remember those?), I just re-discovered a full selection of them, earrings and pins and pendant and necklaces...Played around a bit with a cheap slide scanning app on my phone and here's a couple of shots, all sold long ago.

This one I remember, it sold in a flash at a gallery in Louisville/KY - heat patina on copper, a sterling silver bead chain with a sterling silver clasp. 
Someone had taken a bit bite out of it...

And then there is this one, possibly the most precious of them all.
Sister to the copper one above and the only one left from my hearts experiments, this is a stunning necklace with strong impact.
It has a heart pierced in sterling silver, it has that bite in warm yellow 18k gold to accentuate the piece with memory, and it all hangs from a sterling silver snake chain, with a sterling silver toggle&bar clasp for no-fuss wearing.

Went up the mountains the other day for a walk, hiking over ridges and under huge sunburned rocks, wind twirling through cottonwood falling leaves, stark simplicity and in tune with the turquoise sky.

​A Bar Neckwire for Fall, conveying essence in simple lines of color. 
These are very simple and minimal necklaces on a sterling silver cable, a perfect colorful pairing to a changing season, and an optimal piece of jewelry that impresses even on a winter and fall outfit.
See all the available color options on my online store!

13 magic days until the end of a successful Black+White show, and just in case (just in case) you missed it so far, check it out now!
These earrings sold a couple of days ago and have gone to two very happy people...
...but there are still a few one of a kind pieces available, like just one pair of the earrings below!

I had great fun playing around and improvising with these first black and white jewelry experiments for a BlacK+White Graffiti series, and was happy to launch five pieces on Artico this month!
And, among what's left, a pendant too...

The excitement continues with this mini series of one of a kind black and white jewelry pieces...
These are a couple of shots for some work fresh off the bench for the Black+White show launching at Artico in just a few hours!
This invitational show will run May 1-31, 2021 online on Artico and will feature a selection of New Mexico artists and their experiments in black and white only.
All work available exclusively through Artico - a New Mexico Art Collective supporting artists and makers through the COVID pandemic; sales will benefit Artico, the artist in the show and several New Mexico non profits...live links on launch date.

Single or in colorful combinations, the time for the Stick Pendants is now.
As with all of my work and in trying to keep things as simple a possible - especially in these difficult times, cannot not point out these simple pendants this week.

Each pendant comes on either a 36 inch or a 42 inch black cotton cord, play with the two sliders on the cord to adjust into various lengths and styles for personal preferences.
They also have a nice feel to them, a good comforting weight anchoring down the task at hand  of the daily. Adjust the feel to your personal liking.
They are intriguing just one-on-one. Even more so in twos...

Hi, welcome to my jewelry blog!

I make simple, colorful and bold jewelry for a contemporary ageless and fun style.
Have been doing this for quite sometime...pretty sure this is what I want to do when I grow up!

Here I jot down thoughts and notes and pictures of work in the making, both in my mind, on paper and on the bench.

for bench updates and exclusive previews...
