I am getting ready for a trunk show…

the first weekend in May at Vintage Inspired in Burlington, Vermont (details to follow).  I’m trying to decided exactly what I want to create…bracelets, pendants, jewelry holders, small (affordable) paintings or perhaps even something that hasn’t revealed itself yet.

I found this Jill Heller piece in a magazine at the gym.

What luck, huh?  So cool.

I think this will provide some serious inspiration.

reworking discarded pieces

Today in the studio I needed a board of a certain size and I didn’t want to run out to the hunt for one.  I started digging around and realized that I could easily part with this piece from 2008 that I never really liked anyway.  The new piece isn’t finished yet, but I worked with the shape and carving that already existed in the board.  Oh, I do love a makeover.  Hopefully I can show you the finished piece tomorrow.
