Busy September to get ready for a Busy October

Work has been practically exploding out the the studio lately! Having fun with new, more, sculptural forms for beads and then stringing into necklaces. They have been very challenging pieces. Some times invention is called for in order to string these new beads and still keep it comfortably wearable. All my walks in the woods are definitely influencing my jewelry. In addition to these new pieces and directions that my jewelry seems to be going in I will always have plenty of my great earrings and necklaces in fabulous, eye popping colors.
