Holiday Wonders Jewelry Show takes place at Silk Road Connection, 11am – 6pm Friday December 8.
It’s happening in part because of my commitment to produce a box a day last month. You can read about the Bead Mosaic Boxes in this earlier post. In the process I honed my creative ideas and began to work at a new and higher level.

In an amazing discovery, my jewelry gained inspiration from the work I was doing in other media.
Dreaming of vacation in the tropics in 2018? Take the sea with you in a whimsical art glass display with a seahorse focal.

If you’re a little more reserved, consider a tailored choker such as this one of faceted glass and jasper.

Those who’ve seen my work understand my love for vintage African trade beads and other vintage elements.

Of course, there’s always room for Bling. It is the Holidays after all. See my bling story in lavender or in faceted glass.
