first day

Tuesday was my girl's first day of kindergaten! She walked up the steps all by herself. She is a bold little girl! I was very proud of her.

crackle pendants

These are the crackle pendants. I indicated 40mm & 50mm with pencil lines so you have a good idea of the size.
Some of the glazes crackled much more then others. It is difficult to tell in the photos how much crackle some have.

These are crackle glaze pendants I have been working on.

Latest Work

These are my latest pendants. I call them "Spirit Houses"
These were inspired by a friends trip to Thailand. Where spirit houses are placed in public and private spaces as places for spirits to dwell.
I have made a miniaturized interoperation for personal adornment to honor the spirit that dwells in all of us.
Each one is individually made of stoneware assembled using pearls, or semi precious stones.
They are priced starting at $25

Please make sure to give them lots of water and NEVER leave them in a car.
