What Is That and What Do You Do With It?


I decided to periodically share with you some of the tools and equipment I use.  This is one of my favorite pieces of equipment that I use everyday.  It's the mighty flex shaft.  It's one of those multi-use pieces of equipment.  It can drill, polish, cut metal, hammer, make a sandwich...

A Sign of Peace


There are days I go into my studio, tinker around and end up making something for myself. With all of the turmoil in the news, we all could use a little peace of mind.  So I made a peace sign necklace.  Peace starts from within.

Welcome To My Madness


I spent most of the day sitting at my bench working.  I thought I'd share my "madness" with you.   This is where everything comes to life.  I'm working on a new collection right now that I'll be sharing with you soon.  As you can see from looking at my bench, I'm a little bit of a tool junkie.  I'll be sharing my tools with you periodically.

Book Cover


I was wandering through a bookstore with my daughter this weekend, when she spotted the book "1000 Bags, Tags & Labels - Distinctive Designs for Every Industry" buy Kiki Eldridge.  The book features my "bags, tags & labels" on the front cover.  I worked with Maureen Erbe of Erbe Design and Pam Esposito in creating the designs.

Indie Parade - A cool shopping blog


I'm always looking for new marketing ideas and submitted a few photos to a wonderful shopping blog site called Indie Parade.  I was excited to see my "Sterling Silver Flower Necklace" featured on the front page today. It's a fun site filled with many talented designers.  Check it out at www.indieparade.com
