Bench is stocked, trays are full, and the lights are on ✨

I’ve got the studio set up for tonight’s Art for Mom sale—rings, stacks, little treasures you can actually pick up and try on (dangerous, I know).

Come wander the second floor resident artist market, say hi, and find something that feels like her… or accidentally yourself. I won’t tell.

Tonight 💫
Second floor
Bring your good taste and maybe a friend who enables you 😂💕💥

Working on a small batch of earrings for tomorrow night’s open house ✨

Sterling silver frames with iolite, amethyst, and pink tourmaline… and I’m torn on the last detail.

Do you like them better with citrine or clear crystal? I love hearing your thoughts while I’m still at the bench.

If you’re around, it’s Juxtuesday tomorrow from 6–8 pm at Arts & Innovation Center. My studio will be open — feel free to stop in, say hi, and see what’s coming together in real time.

Per aspera.

A quiet reminder that the hard parts matter — that growth comes through effort, patience, and showing up even when it’s not easy.

This ring is for the days when you need to remember how far you’ve already come. ✨

Working on a custom stop-motion skeleton for

This is my very first attempt - it’s rough by choice. I didn’t want to spend time refining it until I know it will work— aluminum structure, urethane joints, brass and sterling silver bones, figuring it out as I go. Next up: adding magnets, then onto felting.

There’s something really satisfying about building the bones before the personality shows up. More experiments to come… 🐸✨

Serenity. Courage. Wisdom.
Some days we need one. Some days we need all three.

Which one are you leaning on today?
Drop a word below, or save this as a reminder to be gentle with yourself. 💛

These pieces were made slowly by hand, with the understanding that growth isn’t linear and strength looks different on everyone.

You’re doing the best you can — and that counts. ✨

Today’s agenda: set 40 crystals and make friends with my bench again. 💎😅
I’ll be right here most of the day, one tiny stone at a time. Send snacks. Or patience. Or both.

Back to it… ✨🔨

Yesterday at the bench, I added a tiny cross charm to one of our sterling silver ID bracelets as a custom commission. I wanted to capture a photo as I love the addition of the tiny charm dangle. This is prior to refining and polishing.

Quiet details, made slowly by hand, for someone special. ✨
