Early Work

This is another of the very first pieces I created.  I love it still and often look at it and wish I had kept it.  The front is a battered, metal, watch dial I purchased and the gear from an old wind-up clock I found.  The D-rings were purchased to tie ribbons together on greeting cards.  The reverse is an old cardboard milk bottle top, sent by a friend, also for use on a card.  But, this was one of my best pieces. It's amazing what one can do when the creative process is hot and the hands just have to make something, anything!   

I've Been Published - My Very First Time

My very favorite jewelry magazine is Stampington's Belle Armoire Jewelry.  I am amazed at the wonderful pieces I see there every quarter.  So, on a whim, I submitted four of my own creations, and was surprised when I received an email, about a week later, saying my work would be featured in an upcoming issue.  That was March.  The pieces came out in the Fall issue.  I could hardly wait to see the results.  Wonderful!  They took my simple little watch works and made them look really special.  What fun!
