Moab!
Teaching in Moab at the MARC was SOO much fun I am just going to let the pictures tell the story! The first day I taught two silversmithing classes and then I taught a three day cold connection class, fun stuff! Lots of great jewelry made and lots of fun ladies! I will be back…
Busy week!
Between finishing up the mural, Halloween and all the festivities, teaching at Urban Scrap Studio and teaching classes at Sundance I have had a lot of fun this week! I love Halloween and getting to be something else, changing colors, and this year I was a mime. Yes, I have gone from black to blue,…
Painting a mural!
When I got asked to submit a proposal to do the trauma room in the Infant Med Surg unit at the Primary Childrens Medical Center in Salt Lake I was pretty excited! This is something I have had on my vision board for a while that I wasn’t really sure how it was going to…
It’s a family affair!
Chris, her son Mike and his wife Jill came and made some awesome jewelry in my class a few days ago. Chris brought some beautiful stones and she made a beautiful pendant, Mike made a cool chunky textured ring with a stone and Jill made a nice turquoise pendant. Great family date! Getting down…
Ideas…
Ideas are a constant stream flowing into my life and when I am at the bookstore browsing magazines is when the stream turns into a river! I never take in a notebook or pencil even though I know inspiration is going to come so I have learned to just take photos with my phone and…
Friends!
Two of my BFF’s, Alison and Julie joined in on my class after we had had a fun weekend together. Julie has made many things with me in the past and I wanted to show off this amazing stone she made into a nice cuff. I think it is a crazy lace agate and I…
Happy Birthday to me!
There has been one thing on my bucket list/ vision board for longer than I want to admit and I finally decided to do it! Climbing Timpanogus, one of the highest peaks and the most majestic mountains we have here, sounded like the perfect way to celebrate the beginning of my 37th year! My oldest…
Another Photo Shoot…
I feel like I have been in front of the camera a lot lately and this time I have some great shots to show for it! My beautiful friend Dawni did a great job of making me look fabulous! I have so many favorites which doesn’t happen very often, I highly recommend her! Watch for some…
Pottery Jewelry!
Michelle and Judy from Lake Superior, Minn. brought in some cool pottery pieces that they had bought in their travels that they wanted to make into jewelry. They had to adjust the angles of the sides a little so that we could set them into bezels and I think they turned out pretty cool! They…
What’s On My Bench
I love making custom orders especially when people bring in items that are sentimental to them! Tammy from Tampa, Fl had these great pieces of sea glass that she wanted made into a matching set. We talked about the design and I really like the result!
Talented Hat Artist In My Studio!
I had the pleasure of working in my studio at Sundance with Terry Graziano, a very talented and beautiful artist from Chicago. When she gave me her business card with a fabulous photo of her in one of her hats I had to go to the computer immediately! When I pulled up her portfolio I…
Birthday Surprise…
My cool friend Wendy’s girlfriend Olivia contacted me about making a ring with puzzle pieces on it. I am always game to try something new so she came over and talked about the options and decided it should be done lost wax casting style. Olivia got to work carving the wax and it looked great!…
SOLD!
Mr. Robert Redford turned 75 on the 20th which brought a Colorado artist to Sundance to celebrate! Mary Baum bought my largest and most favorite cuff so far to wear to his birthday party. It was my masterpiece that I made to wear to my last gallery show at the Covey Center for the Arts…
The Sound of Music
We had my favorite musical at Sundance this summer and I volunteered to be an ambassador to work the play. I had a lot of fun and was a little sad when it was over. My favorite night was when the weather took a turn for the worse but it was almost like it was…

Spent the day in the studio with the ladies that are filming my video’s for me, they are awesome! Got my Silversmithing video recorded and some tips and tricks. Watch for their release soon! Here is the band in progress, guess I should have taken some other photos, hindsight!
