New Christmas Spoon

I finished another hand painted vintage silver tablespoon to be listed for sale this week on Etsy.

"Gods and Monsters" Show at The Candy Factory

 This was my piece, I wasn't sure at first about entering it as I thought it wouldn't fit in. I'm now glad that I did as it did fit perfectly with the other works.

This is the first time I've had a piece of my art in a showing in over 10 years. I,m glad that I was able to overcome my apprehensions and entered the show. I really want to get working on more, join more groups and keep moving forward with my art. While at the show I also got to say hello to and meet some more of my friends from Twitter. This was overall a positive experience for me!!

{Echo} Week 21 - Portals

This photo is inside a caboose at the Lititz Springs Park. I thought it was a good portrayal for the theme Portals. I took this photo only using the FX app on my phone.

New Jewelry Designs - Sneak Peek

Cleaning out my studio space I discovered that I had these vintage typewriter keys. They them from an old typewriter that was thrown in the trash. I decided to take them and design pieces of jewelry. I took pages from a vintage dictionary and ran them through the paper shredder to make strips. Doing this saved me a lot of cutting and made the exact size and width I was looking for. It also gave the paper strips that ragged edge I was looking for. I am not yet revealing the design until I have a few more made, keep an eye out later this week!!
