A Dryad’s Dream

Winter’s here and tree spirits are slumbering. Here is a quick peek at a dryad as she sleeps in her Maple leaf.

Spirit of the Oak

Nature’s beauty! I am really enjoying using gemstones for healing and well being with my leaf spirits lately, and although this could be worn as a pendant, I have transformed this lovely imprint of a Burr Oak, also called Mossycup Oak, as an ornament. Fashion forward fairies or renn folk could do double duty and [...]

Bling! Bling!

I love jewelry and I love sculpting, and both can be expensive at times.   I am also a “casualty” of the current economic crisis in our country that has left me unemployed.  Panicked?  I was for a few weeks till I got it together and decided to suck it up and create my own [...]

Waning Days of Summer

Hello my friends!  The spring/summer has come and gone and I’ve been a very bad blogger, so forgive me dear readers for my extended absence, but now I am back. I’ve been busy with family, spending time outdoors,  working on new pieces, and experimenting with polymer clay techniques.  Ah, the sweet joy of success…and of [...]

Sylvan Sprite Earrings

Sylvan sprite’s will love to add these to their wardrobe this Spring! A recent foray into the forest produced some gorgeous imprints of Silver Maple leaves from which these luminous earrings were created. Hand sculpted leaves of Kato clay cured, hand buffed, antiqued, and accented with mica powders. The earring wires are fancy copper and [...]

Spring Fairy Necklace

I love pastel colors and the weighty feel of certain gemstones. So, while digging around in my box of goodies pulled out these amazing adventurine nuggets that I’ve been saving for a rainy day. On a recent trip to one of my favorite findings manufacturers, Wolfe E Myrow, I also grabbed some gorgeous fire polished [...]

Lovely Way to Start the Day!

What a lovely way to start the day than seeing one of my pieces featured on my friend, Silke Janas-Schloesser’s blog. Silke recently purchased one of my Nature Spirit pendants which was a real honor as I have been a fan of hers for a long time. For those of you unfamiliar with Silke, you [...]
