Back from First Vacation of the Summer...

...and while vacation is great--it's so hard to be away from the wire and stones. I did try to dream up new designs while lounging on the beach and am getting started as soon as the suitcases are unpacked. The colors by the ocean and organic shapes are certainly a pervasive theme with my work, so an oceanside vacation provides plenty of inspiration.

Some juicy rings to look at...

Growing Vines

Flowers, gardens and all things organic are a constant theme with me and jewelry ideas that reflect these themes zip through my mind at a quick clip. Someday I'll be diligent about making sketches... These vine earrings with various colors of freshwater pearls and turquoise are the latest. Necklaces and infinite variations in color and gold to follow.
