I’ve been busy creating Sterling silver pieces using garden leaves, maple seeds, and acorns. Also, I have spent time curating & restoring vintage Sterling silver pieces, many with natural gemstones. Among my favorite are those designed by Barse. Melanie Barse started her company in the 80s using natural gemstones including shades of turquoise, blue agate, sponge coral, carnelian and more. Her casted silver and bronze jewelry are produced in a factory in Thailand.

Aside from my obsession with vintage Sterling silver, I am enjoying outdoor raku pottery firing. My naked (no glaze) raku pots are extremely fun to make- love their contrasting black & white!
