My newest iteration of a Jeni classic; a double wing cicada bangle with silver plating matched with a pair of cicada wing earring jackets embellished with rose cut posts in sterling silver! Part of my Art Deco collection. #makecicadatime #artdeco #handmade #jewelry ...

Little moth drop with tulip cutout. Part of my charm collection. Working on new upcoming designs, so stay tuned! #makecicadatime #charmed #handmade #jewelry ...

Here comes one of my absolute favorite things; my newest orchid ring! These can be custom ordered to fit any size. This particular patina I think is my new favorite. #makecicadatime #blossom #handmade #orchid #jewelry ...

I think these just might be my favorite everyday pair of cicada earrings. These are white bronze that are silver plated with fine silver, with rose cut labradorite set in sterling silver bezels. Look for these and more new designs that are coming to the shop this fall. #makecicadatime #silver #handmade #jewelry ...

I don’t know what to name this moth yet, but it reminds me of a Garden Ghost. But this is my most recent moth pendant that also doubles as a pin. I was able to utilize both powdercoat and silver plating. The shard is from@a platter I accidentally shattered. If you have a good suggestion on what to name her, let me know! #makecicadatime #lunamoth #handmade #jewelry ...

I just wanted to share part of one of my most recent pieces (still unfinished… I didn’t have enough time) that I shared during my @amidotorg Presidential Address. This is the first time I’ve used the cicada as a metaphor rather than a topic of science and nature. I’ll be sure to publish my speech with the AMI so you can see the whole context. #makecicadatime #cicadas #illustration ...

I have been so busy with summer plans and projects that I haven’t been able to post much lately. I will be posting new designs very shortly because now I’m gearing up for holiday shows! So many new things that are going to be in my shop and at markets, but for now enjoy this first look at some button designs that I created for a conference. I’m going to be headed to this week! #makecicadatime #buttons #cicadas #insectlovers ...

These unique beauties went home with a special person who came to see me at the Columbia Art Fest. Even though it’s July, I’m now gearing up for the holiday season. Keep your eyes out for my next collection which has new beetles and moths as well as my classic favorites that use cicada and blossom motifs! #makecicadatime #handmade #jewelry #baltimoreartist ...

Steel beetle pendants are officially in the shop! I had one spring show over the weekend and now I have inventory to share with the rest of you! If you’ve been eyeing these for a while, I finally got them up online for anyone to purchase. They come into sizes: small and large. The one depicted in this post is the small size. The larger size is perhaps about 25% larger than the one you see here. They come in different shapes and every single one of them is one of a kind. Some are taller some are wider, but they all have winning personalities. Snag one today before they’re gone! #MakeCicadaTime #Handmade #Beetles #steel #Jewelry. ...

Here’s a fun memory that popped up in my photos today: the cicada jewelry cake! Made of entirely edible decorative elements. No real cicadas or jewelry are on this cake. So much fun to collaborate with one of my childhood pals @palomaefrondesign. It was a highlight at one of our @amidotorg conferences because I brought it to the salon opening and shared it with the Mentorship committee. #makecicadatime #cicada #cake #handmade ...

Newest ensemble of steel pieces! Silver prices are going down but still too high for my taste. I am really enjoying learning the ins and outs of steel as an affordable, durable and beautiful alternative! #makecicadatime #steeljewelry #handmade ...

Figuring out heat bluing with mild steel on my latest bracelet! What do you think? #makecicadatime #doublewing #cicada #bangle #handmade ...

I nearly sold out of my last batch of eleplants. So before this last lonely one is gone, I’m making a fresh herd for upcoming spring shows. Lots of new creatures to come!! #makecicadatime #elephants #miniature #planters #handmade ...

It’s a double decker kitty sandwich! How cute are these two? My constant studio companions 💕 #makecicadatime #studiopets #cats #jewelry ...

Just dishing. As per my usual protocol, I bring cicada templates anytime I accompany my daughter to the paint your own pottery shop. This one holds my jewels while I wash my face. #makecicadatime #handmade #jewelry #cicada ...

Here’s what happens when your new favorite necklace is next to your newest creation… I see dung beetles backing into porcelain shards. Coming soon! #makecicadatime #beetles #steel #jewelry #handmade ...

Say hi to my new tiny sidekick! This year’s collection is coming together with all sorts of beetles and bugs. Moths are still a staple, adding new ones daily. Patinas and color treatments are the next step!! #makecicadatime #beetles #handmade #jewelry #steel @baltimorejewelrycenter @_eearl ...

This is just the start of my newest designs! I haven’t added stones or color yet but I can’t wait to get going on multiples of these newest mini cicadas. What do you think so far? #makecicadatime #insectjewelry #handmade #earrings #silverjewelry ...

I don’t know what to call this, but it looks like a chunky chocolate ice cube. Now it needs a little display stand. If only I had a miniature cake plate? #makecicadatime #steel #steeljewelry #handmadejewelry ...

It’s snowy out there, but this little house is nice and toasty! Here is my finished project 1 for my Steel for Jewelry class @baltimorejewelrycenter #makecicadatime #steeljewelry #handmade @_eearl ...

Between other projects and fulfilling online orders, I am getting ready for the @baltimorejewelrycenter ‘s upcoming fundraising gala. Thankfully I already have some clothing from a past event I can wear. I won’t need to scramble in that department. As for the jewelry, I am going ALL OUT. Ornamenta 2026 happens to be themed after my birthstone, the ruby! I am constructing a one-of-a-kind personal ornamental item I intend to wear. Can you guess what this will become? Hint: it is cicada and ruby themed. Only my BJC peeps know for sure! Progress shots will be coming over the next 2 weeks. Stayyyyy tuned! #makecicadatime #cicada #eveningwear #handmade #jewelry ...

I’m really REALLLLLY missing the days when silver was $14 an ounce 😞 seriously. Never EVER ask me if my prices are fair. And it’s not just the cost of silver or even recycled materials. It’s time, creativity, attention to detail… ok I’m done being on my soap box. Back to hoarding my silver scrap and steel welding I go! #makecicadatime #silver #sterling #jewelry #jewelrybusiness @riogrande ...

From the bottom of my heart, Happy New Year! #makecicadatime #happynewyear #heart #anatomicalheart #philadelphia @franklininstitute @fairmanstudios ...
