Hiatus

Wow...has it really been a year since my last post? How time flies.

Quick 2009 recap:

Traveled a ton this year...London...Amsterdam...Istanbul...each place was fantastic and I met so many wonderful people along the way. I am thankful that I was fortunate enough to be able to take these trips...more planned for 2010.

Each city and region I traveled to gave me a ton of ideas and I am now working to translate my favorite memories of people, places and things into new pieces of jewelry.

Production slowed as I transitioned into a new job that has been taking up most of my time. Things are calming down now that it is the holiday season and I have more time to devote to metal work. I am in the process of redesigning the website and I am hoping to have that complete by spring. Stay tuned...

Yesterday I hit a creative peak and spent all day making earrings. I made a quick trip to home depot and the art store to buy materials to make a light box to photograph the jewelry. After measuring, cutting and taping, I finally put it together and am ready to digitally capture the new pieces. I'll post them shortly. In the meantime, here are some pictures from places across the world...these make me smile every time I look at them.
