Sometimes life happens and when it does, it can drag you down or set you on a new path of creativity. Such is the case of Califia, a stay at home mom who had put her creativity on the back burner until a leg injury left her searching for something to do! Right after hurting […]

Melina is a woman that has worked with her hands her entire life. As the youngest child in the family in Bosnia and Herzegovina, she was a third hand for everyone […]
The Autumnal Equinox has just occurred and the fall season has officially begun. With the advent of this season my creative muse has taken on a new vigor.

It all started when I took a lapidary class in high school and I designed my own pieces and the teacher told me I had a talent for this…. fast forward (a bunch)… about a year ago I started to make jewelry again and rediscovered that I enjoy the process. My first piece I completed was a dragon claw I made of smoky quartz and sterling silver. The response I got from that piece was very gratifying and I was off and running. Now I make a variety of different styles and kinds of jewelry and I am working on a sculpture. I hope to have this completed for a show in August. I currently have a piece of jewelry on display in the Select Art Gallery in North Bend Oregon.
