The View From One Of My Studio Windows

We've sure had our share of snow this year in Pennsylvania! I don't know what

it's like where you live, but believe me, we've seen enough of the white stuff

this year! Had more snow and lots of sleet last night and hoping that we don't

lose power! What's it like where you're at?

This is the view from one of my studio windows at the Banana Factory in Bethlehen, PA

What's it like outside where you are?

Inside My Studio: Filling The Walls

It has taken me a while to fill up my studio walls - displaying jewelry vertically

can be a challenge! I use both canvases and plates for most of my displays.

Peek Inside My Studio: Broken China Statement Necklace

Take a peek inside my studio...

I love Flow Blue china, and I love Art Nouveau, so I was thrilled when I came across 

a few of these age-damaged plates a few years ago. I knew they would be perfect to 

turn into some beautiful jewelry.

Because the floral motif pattern on this china dinner plate is large, I knew it would be 

best suited to be made into a larger piece of jewelry - so I made this large statement 

necklace. The shorter chain allows the necklace to sit right at the base of the throat, 

and it is an eye-catching piece for sure!

I had the three huge tear-shaped pearls set aside for a while, just waiting

 for the perfect design to come along. After I made the china part of this necklace I

 knew right away that this was going to be their home. I love the way it turned out!
