Jewelry, altered art, collages shadowboxes, felting and vintage are what I love.Much of my jewelry incorporates upcycled glass and beads. I also love to felt with merino wool roving. I like to create in a variety of price ranges. All items are designed and made with the same loving care but, if the materials were inexpensive, I try to reflect that in my pricing.

Walking along the banks of the Wissahickon Creek in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania one can feel alone in the center of a forest while in the midst of a city. Butterflies and dragonflies are in the air while fish and turtles can be seen in the water. While walking along the banks of this creek, I have been picking up fragments of glass for years. Some date from the 1800's and some from last week. I have had some of these glass pieces made into beads which go into these sturdy bracelets and necklaces.
A unique and very distinctive rock of the Wissahickon Creek valley is Wissahickon schist, the predominant bedrock underlying the Philadelphia region. This Precambrian to Cambrian stone, first studied in the Wissahickon gorge, has flecks of glittery mica, small garnets, and many-toned shadings of gray, brown, tan, and blue.
