The Art Fair Season has officially begun!

What better day to have a spring craft fair than the day before Mother’s Day. A perfect combination of the sea breezes, and panic mixed with guilt! One small mention of Mother’s Day brings grown men to your booth to seek out the perfect piece of jewelry to assuage the guilt that comes from years [

Rubber Tires – The New Silver?

A few weekends ago, I snapped this pic of an unusual pin worn by a lovely woman in a bright yellow jacket. The pin, it turns out, was made from the remains of an innertube! A little paint, and a few beads later, and this beautiful bird emerged. With silver prices due to rise to [...]

Art is Where You Find It

Found this across from the Weaver’s Way Co-op in Philadelphia. Not a trellis, not a ladder, and serving no use other than to make someone smile.

The Project Empress is back – almost!

To those of you who know me, you know that “Project Queen” is not exactly my correct title. I prefer to be referred to as “Her Royal Highness, the Project Empress”. Since early January, we have been busy renovating our kitchen, removing walls, installing a fireplace and looking out at Burton’s Po

My Precious…

How many of my jewelry folk out there have quietly been stockpiling pieces of Holly Gage’s titanium over the years. I know, I know, she is an amazing jewelry artist (http://www.hollygage.com/) ; but when she whips out those trays of tiny, practically luminescent pieces of metal, no one can resist d
