My studio is my laboratory…
“I thrive on experimentation in my creative process. Embracing new and challenging techniques is integral to my growth. When curating new collections, I strive to keep my options open, drawing inspiration from the intricate details of nature. Geometric petal patterns, the hues of an autumn landscape, and delicate insect wings are just a few things that fuel my creativity. My hope is that those who wear my pieces will be inspired to see nature through a fresh lens.“
This is a unique commission for a very special family-to-be. I just put the finishing touches on it and now it is tumbling overnight. 3 layered blossom with hammered texture and granulation. A double knot and a triple knot, all sterling silver. Each part of the design represents the individuals in this family coming together and sharing a unique bond. Better pictures of the final design will come once I finish the final polish.
Here’s another fun find! A little gem I found while antiquing for $8. This is a cloisonné matchbox cover. The only thing I’m missing is a nice chunky box of matches to stick in here but it’s just a nice little pocket size treasure and the colors are gorgeous. Of course I love the floral design.

Nocturnal spring is the season. Newest watercolor style powder coated mini moth earrings!
I was thinking of a certain Sarah whose favorite color is red and always has amazing red-gold manicures when I made these. This wee moth design therefore shall be named “Sarah”
I think these might be a new favorite for me! Finally managed to get the right size design for earrings. I also learned a few new tricks to get powder coat to look a bit like pottery glaze. I’m working on a few more pairs of mini-moth drops. Then moving to finishing cyanotype pendants that have been on the back burner for far too long! Her name is “Rio”
How about this little cloisonné treasure? This tiny but mighty pocket magnifier was helpful in allowing me to insect things super close. Though the chain it’s on is not vintage, I love the combo nonetheless.
Here comes the newest pair of wings! I seriously thought these were would be too big for me to pull off (I tend to keep my looks low key) but I’m kinda liking them and how they fall. They are suuuuuuper lightweight because the wings are blue steel and about .3mm thick! They are so delicate but still very strong. The bezel settings are solid sterling silver with faceted button cabochons. IOW, they are not glass, but very hard plastic, almost like reflectors. I can’t feel these at all dangling from my ears. It’s like they aren’t there but visually they are soooo there!
Come vintage-picking with me: Well, for the 2nd time since the summer, the family and I went on one of those last-minute road trips to Brimfield, MA! Instead of the usual photodump, I thought I would take the time to share some one-by-one anecdotes from this trip as well as a previous one and a bonus visit to the @corningmuseum of glass! First up - this magestic peacock bangle - a lucky find (as are all of my treasures) - and a steal at only $8. I don`t care what its made of...I am in love with this design!
Very excited to share that I will be at my first Greater Goods Market in November! Come see me and 60+ other crafts vendors from all over the area!
I create unique custom pieces
Many ask, ‘Do you take custom orders?’ The answer is a resounding ‘Yes!’ I adore crafting unique pieces for clients and their loved ones. Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, Mother’s and Father’s Days, or any special occasion—you name it.
I also craft pieces to honor loved ones, including pets. My process blends mementos, old photos, and found objects to create cherished treasures. It all begins with a photo or a story. Curious to know more? Inquire about starting the process.
