I thought I'd post some pictures of some of my all time favorite pieces. The majority of these were sold at past shows but some are available at a local boutique, each design is one of a kind but you can always email me if you want to ask about a similar design for yourself.

I called this one "a June wedding perhaps?"

Went to lovely Rose as a engagement gift from her mother.

I also made her wedding jewelry

(below) from pieces found in her grandmother's jewelry box

The perfect Valentine, a golden Locket ring

These were made from some wacky mismatched earrings. Very Carmen Miranda!

I still have this one (as of now) A beautiful scrap angel brooch

My fish earrings have been very popular, you can buy similar ones

here---> Ohr Okeefe Museum Store

I call this brooch "notes from the lost and found"

I sold this one, called "Poseidon's best gal", through:

Bozarts Gallery in Water Valley

Studio Else & Paul Norway

2011-09-18T17:01:00.000-05:00

I found this beautiful pendant and had to share it with you. Studio Else in Paul was founded in 1959 by a husband and wife team. They were way ahead of their time in the Modernist movement. My piece is a huge Sterling abstract (star?)

wearable sculpture.

You know you want one!

It's in the Details

I am fascinated by mosaics and the tiny details of everyday things. I think I found some inspirations in my own back yard this afternoon.

And perhaps it was the seeing of these everyday mix of color and texture all mashed together that came to inspire this:

one for me

This sweet little brooch is a old piece from Italy which were popular souvenirs in the 30's 40's & 50's.

and one for you

30 or so years ago some sweet little old lady saw into the future and there I was. How else can one explain the desire to create this little trinket. Courtesy of my favorite local "junk lady" She laughed as I added it to my stack of goodies...

All about Vintage in Bohemia

2010-05-19T12:32:00.001-05:00

I create these pieces from scraps of old broken jewelry and carefully selected pieces from bead shops (like my pal Melanie's Shop: The Bead Shoppe ) Each piece I make is a one of a kind work of art. I began this project in February of 2010 with the creation this fun little angel brooch.

I had my first official showing of my new project in March of 2010 with the Maker's Market in Oxford MS.

I was pleasantly surprised buy the reaction of browsers, buyers and the other artists. Since that first show I have participated in several more Maker's Market as well as the Oxford Artist's Guild Spring Show, Crosstie Arts and Jazz in Cleveland MS and Main Street Festival in Water Valley, MS. I have a upcoming show with Maker's Market on June 5th and the Art B Que in Atlanta's Avondale Estates Suburb.

Here are a few examples pieces currently available:
