Where have I been?

I guess I have been avoiding posting as I was waiting for something to happen then too many things happened at once and now it is nearly a year later and I have so much to share! My mom is in Africa serving with her husband in the peace corps. I spent the summer in Atlanta took some really cool classes with a metalsmith and was inspired to get all the tools I needed to work with metal more. I am back in Florida and have been asked to have my work be sold in a gift shop on Marco, I still have my work in JT's on Chokoloskee and I am going to show my work on Islamorada, Fl the 19, 20 and 21 at the Gigantic Nautical Flea Market. Ella Vickers bags will also be at the Flea Market. Check out both of these websites to find out more. Bags: www.ellavickers.com

Attached to the side of the front page is a link to the etsy site that I have. I am unsure that this site is a great route for me but I am trying it for now. I am also working on my own website through square space that I will have control over but with great power comes great responsibility!
Enjoy!

Fun-raiser

My sister called me up and asked me if I would donate something for her son's auction fundraiser...
Heck yeah I would! What a great opportunity to support this great school in Seattle, Wa. Check it out...

I made a necklace with sterling silver infinity symbols and grey, white and peacock pearls. I like the matching earrings too! I am going to try a different design and try to attach the pearls directly to the figure 8 design. It was fun using my bench block and chasing hammer to create these links. It felt good to be using symbols like this and creating new links... I really got into it.
I thank Elizabeth for inspiring new ideas. I hope you enjoy the photos!
