Muted -- a mixed media pendant made of copper, concrete, glass, raku beads and paper. An exciting new direction for me!

Ready for the kiln. I *told* you I love mermaids and the sea! :D

Sterling silver earwires on my workbench. I make these in small batches so the monotony doesn't drive me insane ...

Summer shows afford me the opportunity to meet and greet the public.

A fine silver pendant in the works. Sometimes the cabochon I select inspires the piece that ultimately surrounds it.
It all began in a very small way ...
A chance visit to a dollhouse shop in the English Cotswolds many years ago turned out to be a collision with destiny for me. I was instantly and completely besotted with the tiny world I saw. I began creating 1/12th scale potted plants and flowers with increasingly precise detail and became known for the miniscule buds and teensy branches I delighted in adding to my pieces.
Decades later, I discovered the joy of creating my own jewelry and, to my enormous delight, a much larger -- though no less detailed -- world opened up for me. The most enjoyable part of making jewelry for me is including the same level of minute detail -- everything from combining intricate textures to molding the tiniest of seashells -- that I gave to my work in scale miniatures. Echoes of my intense love for botanicals, miracles from the sea and lots and lots of texture still exist in my work even though the medium has changed.
