News from a cool and wet July in Maine



Paris Necklace
Just finished and sent off a new commission piece. I am very happy with how it came out and hope the owner is too. The requirements were to include the Eiffel Tower and the year 2009. The color scheme was to be light blues and greens which I love to work with anyway. Beads are all high polish polymer clay. I embellished the piece with Swarovsky Austrian Crystals, seed beads and pearls. The toggle clasp was hand forged from sterling silver.




BELFAST ART in the PARK
Getting ready for the Belfast show this weekend. Praying for no rain as it is an outdoor show on the water. This is usually a really great show so i am looking forward to it. Great and appreciative crowd.

FUNGUS!
Have recently been working on some pieces that are sooo directly related to my rainy woods walks. Not sure what direction this will go in. The pieces remind me so much of fungus and mushrooms and slugs (ewe.... but these are pretty ones!!) Will post picts soon.
