It is 2010 & I am busily getting ready for my 1st gallery show of the year in Seattle at the Facere Jewelry Art Gallery.This is a precious little gem of a gallery, which just goes to show you that it isn't the size that counts but the quality. If any of you live in Seattle, it's not to be missed. The show dates are January 27-February 20. here is the link:

The show is called JuJu Magic & has inspired me to create this new work, & I think that 2010 is indeed going to be a magical year.

I am posting a few pix of 2 of the pieces I have created for this show. The model in the middle is my beautiful daughter, Meara. She is also the photographer & the designer of this blog!!

Birds on Wheels

These Bird Necklaces are from a new series I am introducing this year. They are all one-of-a-kind, so no two are alike. I hand saw each of them, fabricating & texturing, using sterling silver for the bodies, 14-karat gold for the eyes, & the wheels are made from guitar string nuts & old pocketwatch parts. Prices vary from $75 to $250 depending on size and how elaborate it is.

Bird #1 (both sides shown above)

2" x 1.5 "x .75"

$195, includes 16" or 18" ball chain

Jewelry for Sale: Chair Necklaces

Everyone asks me, "Why Chairs?"... Well I don't really know why. I just love them!!! The first chair was made because I was doing a gallery show of my carved work & I wanted to put a "Pear on a Chair" because it rhymed, so I made one. And it evolved from there.
