I absolutley adore creating these kind of limited production jewelry pieces!!!.  I could never dream of doing "only one", as they take a long time to work out the design, perfect the technique and have the materials on hand.

These light as a feather  earrings are limited to 12 pair, based on the number of antique 1920's crystals I had on hand from an estate sale find!!!!  You can see the earring set in the photo below.

The colors in the first photo more accuratly represent the actual artwork color. The second photo shows detail but was taken on a very dreary day with no sun

GRACIE TAKES HER JOB AS HEAD OF QUALITY CONTROL VERY SERIOUSLY

Hello friends!!!  As we head into the Labor Day holiday weekend I wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy time!!!  Its hard to believe this summer is over so fast….with our "Juneuary" here in Oregon it seems it has only gotten started!!
 
Before I forget I want to update my blog viewers who haven't been watching my FACEBOOK FAN PAGE  on a very special pendant (and a beautiful price to go with it)  that I ran as a Facebook special on this week.  I normally don't carry over these Facebook Specials to the blog posts, but am trying to lure the non Facebookers over!!! This is the kind of goodies I offer on my Facebook page ONLY!! 
 
CLICK THIS LINK…..  FACEBOOK FAN PAGE  ….THEN CLICK THE "LIKE" BUTTON TO JOIN MY PAGE IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY A "FAN"!!
 
I ended up creating an edition of 16 of these lovelies total and want to give anyone who missed it the opportunity to purchase the final 3 pendants on the website  AT THIS LINK
 
 
 
ABOVE:  I took this photo of actress "Twig" at the Festival in 2008
 
My next news is that I will be spending the next two weeks visiting my family in Minnesota…YAAAAAY!!!  Steve is staying home with Lil and Gracie while I get to go play at the Renaissance Festival, pick apples at the Arboretum and eat some of the very best Vietnamese food in the USA with my mom and kids!!  I adore the midwest in the autumn and have a couple of photo shoots lined up for my stay too!!  Can't wait to see everyone!!
 
ABOVE:  My mom and dad made a lot of these road signs and took a day and put them up from Hettinger N.D.to Baker, Montana.
This was back in the 1950's and now their pottery is the famous "Ceramics by Messer" and highly sought after
 
 
I will be blogging all the time so stay tuned.  Mom and I have plans to photograph all of their CERAMICS BY MESSER (from the infamous ND Pot Shop) to finally do that DVD and book we have been talking about. More on that later and a sneek preview of a couple of pieces while there too!!
 
HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!!

This has got to be one of my all time favorite jewelry designs EVER.  I had such a huge response on these photos on Facebook that  a number of friends  asked to order a similar one. Unfortunately this bracelet has decided that there is no way she will be duplicated because of technical reasons, and proclaims herself  ONE OF A KIND!!  I am therefore offering her here at auction to give all those who initially expressed  an interest in a copy of this beauty (and anyone else who wants to play!!!)…. a chance to bid on the ORIGINAL!!!

CLICK HERE TO FIND AUGUSTIANA ON MY WEBSITE
Another delicious chow jewelry design just hit the shelves yesterday called “AUGUSTIANA”.  This design incorporates a new technique I’ve been working on  which allows me to transfer my artwork directly to my hand sculpted polymer clay pendants!!!  The art is actually clear polymer clay so is permanent and waterproof!!!!
The floral detailing is hand sculpted petal by petal….leaf by leaf to add dimension and depth to the pendant artwork. It is something a camera simply can’t do justice. So much dainty detail!!!  Augustiana has such vibrant and beautiful colors she will carry you into this Autumn and all throughout the year. With denim she is a knockout. With black, brown and neutrals a class act. Couple with greens and coral pinks as well.
