On My Workbench


Here are some new pieces I am working on this week. I'm going to turn these into
some beautiful pendants and necklaces and hope to have them listed in my Etsy shop
within a few weeks just in time for the holidays!

The Alchemic Collection - New Mixed Metal Jewelry


Here's a peek at some new jewelry I've been working on, it's a mixed-metal
collection I've named The Alchemic Collection, due to the mix of materials
used (sterling silver, copper, and silver solder) and the unique look and feel of 
the pieces. I'm highly influenced by Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Mystical and Organic
styles, and with this collection my goal was to combine some combinations of 
those styles and create something a little different. It kind of keeps with the 
theme of "new vintage" - I combine elements of vintage designs, but 
give them a modern or contemporary twist. Check it out!








Ivy & blue-green Magnesite














Tree pendant with Turquoise Howlite




This wing pendant turned out to be my favorite, and I can't part with it!

Exciting Announcement: My New Art Studio At The Banana Factory


I'm thrilled to announce that I am a new resident artist at Bethlehem PA's Banana Factory!

Located in the south side of Bethlehem at 25 W 3rd St. in Bethlehem Pennsylvania, the
 Banana Factory Arts Center is a visual arts & education campus run by ArtsQuest that features over 30 resident artists who have studios in the building. The building is also
home to three award winning art galleries and features a ceramics studio, the ArtsQuest 
Glass Studio, and the Olympus Digital Imaging Center. Just minutes from Steel Stacks 
and Sands Casino, the Banana Factory is a true gem of Pennsylvania art and culture! 





And yes, it actually was once a banana distribution center, in case you were 
curious about the name...


Even more exciting: First Fridays at the Banana Factory

On the first Friday of every month from 6 pm to 9 pm the Banana Factory and South Bethlehem come alive for a community celebration where local merchants, galleries 
and restaurants open their doors to celebrate Bethlehem's awesome community. During
First Friday inside the Banana Factory, all of the resident artists open their doors to their 
studios to the public and you can stop in and say hello, as well as view and purchase 
wonderful artwork. This coming Friday (May 3, 2013) will be my very first First Friday
as an artist in residence at the Banana Factory, so if you are around town, stop in 
and say hi!


My New Studio - First Floor, room VA-A

Here's a sneak peek at my new space, which I am filling up as we speak!
I love the two large windows...and there's plenty of room for me to teach 
all kinds of workshops right in the studio, which is an added bonus!





I've already started moving in, though it is a little bare right now because I am in the 
process of packing up all of my tools and getting ready to ship them out to Cincinnati, 
Ohio for a week-long photo shoot for my new jewelry instruction book, but I will have the 
space filled up soon enough! I hope one day you will have a chance to stop in on a First 
Friday and say hello, or perhaps take a workshop!
