Finally some new metalworks

May10

Well there is one really good thing about the warm days we have had in the Pacific Northwest, besides that wonderful sun and heavenly warmth! It means I have been able to dip my toe into the Copper creation pool earlier than normal. Yes, I broke out the torch, set up the table and firing easel and went to town on these bits of copper… each one is only 6″x6″ but grouped they are wonderful, if I do say so myself… Only one is up in my shop so far, but the rest will be there soon… Here is a preview…

Apr10

I was perusing jewelry on Etsy as I am prone to do on a pretty regular basis. I love handmade, mine and that of others… I found so many yummy copper pieces that I just could not resist picking my favorites. So here is what I came up with, and I am so tempted by the copper flower earrings. In fact, I was tempted by many creations in her shop. Here is the collection, enjoy the beauties!!!

Coco Chanel Homage Collection

Feb18

It is really inspiring to think that Coco Chanel is impacting designers today, almost as much as she has in the past. As the founder of Chanel she was a fashion designer that made a profound impact on not only the fashion of her day, but for generations to come. Some her most famous contributions to fashion were the classic Chanel Suit, The Chanel bag, and costume jewelry fashioned after diamond and platinum creations. Probably the most well known is the “little black dress” which is considered a fashion essential to this day. I have culled Etsy to complete my homage to Chanel and have found jewelry a well as home decor. Her quotes are some of my personal favorites.
