1 charm down, [MANY] more to go!! I’m almost ready for the holidays! #shopsmall #holidayheap #charmcity #handmade #charmcollector #cicada #makecicadatime ...

Lots of wings in the works!! Here’s what almost 4 pairs of Art Deco cicada wings look like. Wouldn’t this make a nice brooch? Maybe for the future. Gotta get these beauties patinated and plated! #makecicadatime #holidayheapsneakpeeks #holidayheap #cicadawings #cicada #earrings ...

Well… I didn’t get these done in time for Halloween, but at least I have them made for the next time Ms. Frizzle makes an appearance! And they match my red shoes!👠 Saturn earrings made from blown glass beads and hammered brass. #makecicadatime #saturn #saturnearrings #msfrizzlestyle ...

Hami not only likes to steal necklaces off my workbench, but he also loves his new bling! New ID tag in case he’s ever an escape artist! #cattags #makecicadatime #custompettag #petjewelry ...

I made custom name tags for my kittens 🐈‍⬛ #makecicadatime #pettags #nametags #kitten ...

#happyfriday the weekend is here! What are your plans? I know mine. Can you guess? If you think cicadas are in the equation, you are excelling already! Keep your eyes peeled for the next cicada inspired baubles I am working on. #makecicadatime #cicada #cicadajewelry #insectjewelry #insectart #handmade ...

I think of all the pieces that I created this weekend, this ring is probably my favorite. It was made with brass and silver, and then I silver plated it with fine silver. I see my wing bangle being done the same way in the future. I can’t wait to show you all the things that I’m going to have for holiday sales! #makecicadatime #solver #handmade #jewellery #jewelry ...

This just in: I’ve been accepted to the December @greatergoodsmarket_ for the holidays!!! It’s going to be a busy weekend! I’ve been in production mode for the gift giving season! Stay tuned and for more info on my show schedule, you can always see where I’ll be via my website! 💕 #makecicadatime #handmade #holidaymarket #baltimorecraft ...

Hamish discovered my wreath 🤣. I’ve been meaning to hang it up on our front door but it’s been on the floor in our hallway since last year. Well, enjoy this cute little rascal! #makecicadatime #cats #kittens #happynewyears ...

L’shana tova! These are two custom pairs of Tallis clips that I’ve had on my bench for a while. This is a special commission for one of my friends who lost hers years ago. This is my own design of a dove morphed into the shape of a Magen David. Though the world has been very chaotic, in my own personal life it has been a very good year. I am so grateful every day for the incredible opportunities and goodness I have experienced in 2025 and 5785. Here’s hoping that Goodness comes with this new time ahead of us. #lshanahtovah #jewishnewyear #tallis #peacedoves #jewishstar #handmade #handmadejewelry ...

My work bench is about to become a busy space!! #makecicadatime ...

I came, I saw, I applied… and I got accepted!!! I am SO EXCITED!!! For the first time ever, I’m going to be at the @charmcitycraftmafia Holiday Heap!!! (cue celebratory loud noises!!!) I am so excited to be a part of this unique market this winter. This has been one of my absolute favorite places to visit during the holiday season. I have been admiring the artists there for nearly two decades. Hard to believe that I will have the chance to be on the other side of the table this time around!!! I hope you will come see me and 40+ unique artists and small businesses who will be selling some of the greatest treasures on earth. Mark your calendars for December 13, 2025!!!! #makecicadatime #holidaymarket #jewelry #handmade ...

Say hello to my little moth friend, Elisabet! She’s got a teal coat, gold accents and a gorgeous rhodolite rose cut garnet on her back. More moths friends are coming this Fall! #makecicadatime ...

Taking a retrospective view of how far I w come with my work. I have so many new ideas to get started on, but it’s kind of eye opening to see what my work looks like compared to a decade ago! I’ve learned so many new techniques that I’m sure I’ll be able to use in new ways than I would have back then! Stay tuned for a new collection I’m calling Japanese Summer as well as additions to Nocturnal Spring and Art Deco collections! #makecicadatime #jewelry #handmade #jewelrycollectors ...

I realize that I never posted this custom piece process. Here is a unique little blossom that I created for a friend‘s daughter because she was graduating from high school this past spring. It started with a tiny little sketch in my notebook based on her personal style. I then created a layered blossom using sterling silver. I embellished the center with a granulated bezel setting that features her birthstone, the opal. I love her layered necklaces! #makecicadatime #opals #handmade #Jewelry #graduation ...

This is sketchbook no.4 for JUST JEWELRY and I think I may be ready for no.5. These sketchbooks have been with me since the very beginning and are chock full of notes from classes and workshops, sketches of ideas, doodles of color combos, experiments and the results of each… basically anything I have learned, been inspired by and want to remember. I constantly refer back to them, even though many of my notes are decades old. It’s so fun to look back at these. I know, I need to post photos of their guts too! That’s coming next…

Lots of Nocturnal Spring charms and earrings incoming! These have become a great staple for many people’s collections. I’ll be making a few new ones that can be worn as charms or pendants as well.#makecicadatime #charms #pendant #earrings #handmade #jewelry ...

Lots of baubles in stock! This is just a tiny sample. All at various price points for various special occasions. #makecicadatime #baubles #jewelry #handmade ...

I don’t think I have named this moth yet ( and I have 4 of them!) but she is embellished with a sterling silver bezel set rose cut labradorite stone on her back. Still thinking of names so if you have any suggestions, write them in the comments! #makecicadatime #moth #mothgirl #lunamoth #pendant #handmade #jewelry ...

Here is my mini booth display. It expands with other table choices, but this one is as narrow as it gets with a 5 foot wide footprint. I’m excited about the upgrades Ive made, including an expandable riser display and my new banner which I designed and sewed. If you’re meticulous about your look, then you gotta go custom. The detachable pole also goes wider and is an easy and affordable online purchase. Let me know what you think? #makecicadatime #markets #jewelry #jewelrydisplays ...

It’s my eye as a lover’s eye. So technically… I guess I am staring at you, while you are a staring at me… this little painting of my eye is something I made as a life-sized eye study in grad school. Here it is shrunken down into a mini self portrait. About the size of a dime. Watercolor, brass, silver, glass and pearls. #makecicadatime #pearls #loverseye #loverseyes #selfportrait #pendant #handmade #handpainted ...

I am just in love with this wallpaper pattern. It’s jewelry made for your walls!

Say hello to my little winged gal pal, Coral. She’s in the shop and part of my Nocturnal Spring collection. Blue topaz rose cut stone set in sterling silver. Hand painted powdercoat. #makecicadatime #moth #mothgirl ...

OMG. 😱 I found this while running errands today. It’s a spice organizer and it expands!!! It’s bamboo so it matches my other display stands! I see it. I like it. I want it. Yes I do! #makecicadatime #spicerack #jewelry #marketdisplay ...

More Nocturnal Spring moths are being added to the collection starting this Fall! Many of my first moths are gone, and Glinda is temporarily out of the shop and is on display in the Vitrine Exhibition at the @baltimorejewelrycenter . So now I’m working on more earrings, pendants and pins. More to come! #makecicadatime #moth #lunamoth #mothjewelry #insect #insectjewelry #mothgirl #handmade #jewelry ...

More table shots for upcoming markets. Remember these white Eleplant figurines!? I started with 1 dozen minis and now I only have 2 remaining. Thinking about making a new batch, but perhaps with some color or pattern on them. Curious to know if there are particular hues or motifs people would like to see?
