Multi-Color Amber Filigree Bangle

This sterling silver filigree bangle bracelet is enhanced with multi-colored amber stones centered across the top. The lemon yellow, honey brown, and forest green amber stones appear in a mix of square and diamond shapes and feature the natural inclusions common to this organic substance. The slender bangle wraps the wrist with an attractive Greek key pattern and fastens with a lobster-claw clasp. Detail

Sterling Silver and Multi-Color Amber Triangle Bracelet

This contemporary sterling silver bracelet features triangular links detailed with round cabochons of multi-colored amber, in yellow, green, and golden brown shades. The 7-inch bracelet closes with a simple and sturdy lobster-claw clasp. Alluring amber is the fossilized resin of ancient pine trees. Organic inclusions in this naturally lightweight substance make each specimen unique. Detail

Sterling Silver and Caribbean Amber Free-Shaped Pendant

The subtle, elusive green of Caribbean amber draws the eye in this modern free-form pendant. The luminous amber stone is mounted in a contemporary bezel setting of polished sterling silver with a copper-tone accent. It presents on an 18-inch sterling silver rolo link chain. Detail

Sterling Silver and Honey Amber Drop Earrings

These elegant teardrop dangle earrings showcase golden honey amber in a designer setting of polished sterling silver. Set on sterling silver posts with friction backings, they are a radiant accent for everyday. Beautiful amber is the fossilized resin of ancient pine trees. Naturally lightweight, with an attractive glow and interesting inclusions, this organic substance lends itself perfectly to jewelry design. Detail

Thanks!

Less is more...

The lovely Kelsey brought me her mom's wedding dress to see what I could do. It had (of course) a high Victorian neckline and long prairie sleeves, but also a heavy overskirt in yards and yards of synthetic stretch knit. An ominous tag inside the dress informed us that it was "highly flammable when washed" (!). This project was truly a process of subtraction, editing away the neck and sleeves, re-appliquéing some of the lace around a new scoop neckline and along the shoulders. To refashion the skirt, I made a new skirt layer out of ivory silk organza, which preserves some of the dress's original drama but at one tenth the weight. The synthetic stretch knit was permanently retired--hopefully to the same place where pet rocks, shag carpet and The Hustle went.

Playtime Tag! Feeling fun & groovy

I was tagged today by A Bun Can Dance and it is a challenge and fun, so here goes

My Favorite Picture

Me and Twinkle, I was so happy and on cloud nine, she was so perfect! :)

My Favorite Poem

I WANDER'D lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:Ten thousand saw I at a glance,Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thoughtWhat wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;And then my heart with pleasure fills,And dances with the daffodils.

By William Wordsworth
