Hello from Santa Fe! How’s by you?
Been a productive time in the studio, blurred a bit by a computer crash in mid-January. Communications went awry, but should be sorted out by now. Working in my studio has been very fulfilling: here-

Go here to buy one of these for yourself, or to browse other brooches and necklaces in my gallery shop.
A collector recently commented ‘Your pictures are fine, but these brooches are even more beautiful in person than I’d expected’. Another added ‘They’re so lightweight and delicate- they look much heavier: what a surprise!’

NOT that I have favorites, but these last two, my most recent, are particularly inspiring me.
However, SeaCliff 21, above, and SeaCliff 8 have a persistent hold over me as well. However, they sold quickly – in fact a collector bought SeaCliff 21 as I was finishing it, during her first visit to my studio. Persons of impeccable taste are drawn together, that must be it.

It’s been a satisfying week in the studio making postage stamp brooches. Each stamp inspires a conversation: each is a personality to befriend, a puzzle to bring into resolve, an equation with an answer that clicks into place. There’s a sweet spot for each one, and immersing in the creative dance to find that spot…
