Here is one of my organic style pieces i just added to my Etsy shop sale....Everything is 20% off until Monday Dec. 2nd. Woo Hoo!

I am semi-retired now and am happy to find some of these really playful fun pieces a new home to be loved and enjoyed. This particular piece is a handmade sterling silver pendant with 2-18 karat gold accents (balls). I carved this in wax and cast in sterling silver and added in a really nice 5.5 mm

Hello!
Just wanted to check in and let everyone know i officially closed my studio earlier this year and now am in the process of figuring out what fun things i can create that are not too hard on the body. I will start destashing some of my lifetime collection of stones a little at a time, first starting with my etsy account and then other facebook groups as well. Hopefully soon i will post some of the other silly fun things i have been creating in the metamorphosis of the new me. I hope to have more of a presence here on line, thank you for your love and support. 😀

I know some of you were waiting for me to come back to teaching at the end of the summer as i had promised to. Well it is with great regret that i must say that my arms/hands have not healed as quickly as i would of liked. It seems like a lifetime of working with your hands in such a fine way will take its toll. I will respect my body's wishes. Perhaps in the future i will offer a more innovative class that will focus on self care amidst being artistic. Until i am inspired to do so i must say thank you for your continued support. I hope that you find a passion that serves you as well as the metasmithing has for me. Much love and appreciation to all. 💟
