My GrandCats!

I'm posting photos of my "grandcats" (my daughter Jennifer's two Maine Coons)...Grandkids and Grandcats are staying with me temporarily as my daughter is off on military adventures for a few months. Jake (black & white) and Nala (tabby) weigh about 20+ lbs each...They are solid. Jake loves to slide forward and then push his hind legs out...his favorite way of relaxing!!

Steampunk Fever!

Just finished my Steampunk Silk pouch....I love the way it came out...lots of hardware! brass and steel washers studded with gray pearls dot the background... Steampunk goes uptown!

New Class Posted on Craft Edu

I just posted my second online class on CraftEdu.......It's a Freeform Multi Focal Pendant class...a lot of fun to create, because we can mix and match pieces till we have something that just feels right...then we design a pattern to frame them out with freeform beadwork! Fun fun fun!

Steampunk!

Here's one of my new Steampunk creations...using a vintage optical lens and other bits and pieces!

Playing with PMC!

I took a PMC on Paper class today with Tricia Simmons..Omgosh it was so much fun! I'm hooked!!! Here are my creations! The vase pendant on the left is about 3 1/2" long and the pea pod on the right is about 2 1/2" long...I frequently patina sterling with liver of sulfer but never get the vibrant colorful outcomes that my pmc has! I love it!
