Fall is in the air…

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.

Handmade Sterling & Restored Vintage Sterling & Natural Gemstones

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!

Two Fundraisers on the Same Day (and only one of me!)

I have never in my years as an artist double-booked myself at shows.

Saturday, April 2, presented me with 2 opportunities to sell my work. Since both are fundraisers, I wanted to support both schools.

My wonderful daughter & her daughter stepped in to lend a hand! They will be “woman-ing” my table at one show while I work the other!

Cleveland Hill High School, 105 Maple Road, Cheektowaga, NY 9-1

Sweet Home High School, 1901 Sweet Home Road, Amherst, NY 9-3

The weather prediction is sunny and mid 40’s- a good day to support local high school fundraisers! Thank You!

Although this and many other wonderful summer shows are cancelled this year, I hope to be exhibiting my work later this year. In the meantime, be well and enjoy the summer!
