At Home with Moi

My blog-writing job is a cake walk tonight, thanks to my good friend Sharon who visited from Colorado about two weeks ago. She was kind enough to write a beautiful story about me and my home studio on her blog, The Teacup Incident. I really encourage you to check it out - her photography is gorgeous and while you're at it, you may enjoy her sketches and recipe ideas!

I joked with her that she made my life look much more glamorous than it actually is! ;)

Here are some new pieces I completed this week for The French Circus.


This necklace is a custom triple-wrap with detachable cameo pendants.





And I've been having so much fun creating pendants with resin! Special thanks to my dad for printing out the images so I could place them in vintage frames.




This light-hearted necklace pays tribute to Joan of Arc and the Statue of Liberty - just in time for the 4th of July!




Sparkling Paris earrings...




This rhinestone pendant features another prayer card image, accented with silver tones and blue apatite.




These earrings were already spoken for by the time I could write this post! I love playing turqouise off black and white... modern yet timeless.



Finally, a handsome piece I call 'the duchess' featuring a dimensional cameo and rhinestones set in goldtone.




I hope you've enjoyed seeing my new pieces as well as the little tour of my home and studio. Many thanks again to Sharon! Have a wonderful week, mes amis! :)

Like a Prayer

Prayer cards and their imagery are as popular as ever! Perhaps it's their detailed black and white graphics, or sometimes soft pastel colours that draw us in with timeless appeal. Or maybe it's the tranquil expressions on the faces of the saints that remind people of their faith.


I wanted to incorporate these prayer card motifs into my jewelry designs, and with the help of my good friend Danette, I have begun a Prayer Card collection, the first four pieces of which have been released in my Etsy shoppe tonight. Danette created several resin pendants for me, and I have gathered some other antique examples from dealers as far reaching as Australia.



If you see anything you like, please let me know and I'd be happy to design a custom necklace for you! ;)












Soon I will be announcing some other exciting plans for my jewelry endeavors. Thank you for stopping by! Have a beautiful week! :)
