I’m so glad we didn’t end up with the 6″ of snow that was forecast earlier this week today! Saturdays are my day in the studio, and I was pretty bummed about missing that time. Instead of 6″ of early March snow, we ended up with nothing. Well, nothing but cold. Perfect day for hangingContinue reading “Saturday routine”

What a weekend!
I’ve been in the Hot Shops Art Center for almost three years now. Every December and May, the Art Center hosts an Open House. This spring, the center’s managers decided to push our open house back one week so it didn’t have competition with another big event in Omaha (Berkshire Hathaway’s Annual Shareholders meeting). IContinue reading “What a weekend!”
Personal Touch
For years, I’ve put tags on my sterling silver necklaces and bracelets. The tags are tiny, and actually serve a functional purpose – the wearer can use them to help hold the end of the piece that needs to go in the clasp, making it easier to put on a bracelet or necklace. They alsoContinue reading “Personal Touch”
Scraps to Treasure
Just a short post today – I worked on a custom request last week, and while I can’t show that project yet, I took a quick video to show how I take little cuttings of silver and turn them into something usable. Those little scraps? They are the ends of some silver rings that IContinue reading “Scraps to Treasure”
Ridonculous.
I know, it’s not a real word. But it fits. I had this vision when I was walking earlier this week. I’d seen some stone cairns in a stream at the park I like to walk at, and I thought they would make awesome pendants. I didn’t get a picture of those actual cairns, butContinue reading “Ridonculous.”
Spring & Summer Shows!
This spring and summer are shaping up to be a busy one for art shows…. April 23-24 is the Hot Shops (where my studio is located) semi-annual Open House. The Spring Open House is 2 weeks earlier this year to avoid conflict with the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting. Lots of free parking. Be sureContinue reading “Spring & Summer Shows!”
From bad to great in one day…
I went into my studio today expecting great things. While I’d taken some projects home last week and had gotten some new supplies in the mail, I hadn’t had time to work on anything. So I anticipated getting in early today, sorting out my new order, and settling in with a couple of new projects.Continue reading “From bad to great in one day…”
Home again, home again
Last weekend’s show in Grand Forks, North Dakota – Grand Cities Art Fest – was GREAT. Got to see some old friends, made some new friends, and best of all, hubby and I got to visit with my mom & dad and my son who were all on hand for the show! I was reallyContinue reading “Home again, home again”
Getting there…
So, the thrift shop buys I showed you a couple of days ago? They’re now some super cool displays. Once I get all set up this weekend, I’ll show you the final versions in my booth, but for now, I’ll show you a couple that I’ve finished up. Business card holder – the little woodenContinue reading “Getting there…”
