5 out of 5 starsThe bracelet was shipped fast and packaging was adorable. The sterling on the bracelet in the pic looks shiny but in actuality it has more patina than expected. Well made and fits great. Nice gemstones and beautiful hand made clasp. Thanks for quality bracelet. Rochelle

4 out of 5 starsI like the pendant, but it is not as nice as the one in the picture! I guess when there is one item available, then it’s the one you see in the picture?

5 out of 5 starsStunning, as usual. I really love this piece, especially the little purple pearl eggs. It's a statement necklace while still being dainty, which is one of the things I love most about your work. I love my birds, so I will wear this pendant not only because if it beautiful, but as a way of honoring my sweet companions, as well.

5 out of 5 starsI love it! My heavy duty chain broke during a trip at the end of 2018, and I have had a hard time finding a replacement. I wanted the old ball chain type of closure as opposed to a clasp as it was the clasp that broke on my old chain. I can now wear my old EMF pendant which I have had for 15 years. I missed wearing it. I love the length too, as my old chain was a bit shorter. I thought you'd like to know, I chose your ball chain over a Tiffany one for men. Thank you so much!!!

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.
