Studio Update

Last weekend I traveled down to Southern Illinois with my mom to pick up a few things from my Grandparent's home (the grandad that died back in June).  There are of course so many things that I wanted for sentimental reasons.  I got five flower and vegetable paintings on wood that my grandmother  had gotten at various art festivals in the 70s.  I also got this beautiful antique handcrafted bookcase.

Yes, I've already got more books and bits in it now.


In the studio, I've been working on a line of silver and gold leaf jewelry.  I'll show you the 18k jewelry next week, when it's properly photographed.  Here is a sampling of the silver jewelry.

Gorgeous silver leaves! And love the bookshelf too. I have my great grandmother's piano. Just a small momento. : )
