A little magic leaving the studio today. ✨🦄

This custom interchangeable spinner ring was built layer by layer from sterling silver with a mix of textures, bands, and two tiny unicorns wandering their way around the stack. I love how every custom ring ends up feeling like its own tiny world.

Hand forged, assembled, oxidized, and polished at the bench in my little corner of the universe. 🤍

Lots of taupe on Thursday over here in the studio. 🤎

A tiny flock of hand-forged sterling silver cord bracelets fresh off the bench — each one sawed, stamped, oxidized, polished, and knotted by hand. Little wearable stories for the collectors of symbols, quiet details, and everyday magic.

The best part is always the moment the spinner finally moves for the first time.

Bench is stocked, trays are full, and the lights are on ✨

I’ve got the studio set up for tonight’s Art for Mom sale—rings, stacks, little treasures you can actually pick up and try on (dangerous, I know).

Come wander the second floor resident artist market, say hi, and find something that feels like her… or accidentally yourself. I won’t tell.

Tonight 💫

Bring your good taste and maybe a friend who enables you 😂💕💥

Working on a small batch of earrings for tomorrow night’s open house ✨

Sterling silver frames with iolite, amethyst, and pink tourmaline… and I’m torn on the last detail.

Do you like them better with citrine or clear crystal? I love hearing your thoughts while I’m still at the bench.

If you’re around, it’s Juxtuesday tomorrow from 6–8 pm at Arts & Innovation Center. My studio will be open — feel free to stop in, say hi, and see what’s coming together in real time.

Per aspera.

A quiet reminder that the hard parts matter — that growth comes through effort, patience, and showing up even when it’s not easy.

This ring is for the days when you need to remember how far you’ve already come. ✨

Working on a custom stop-motion skeleton for

This is my very first attempt - it’s rough by choice. I didn’t want to spend time refining it until I know it will work— aluminum structure, urethane joints, brass and sterling silver bones, figuring it out as I go. Next up: adding magnets, then onto felting.

There’s something really satisfying about building the bones before the personality shows up. More experiments to come… 🐸✨

Serenity. Courage. Wisdom.
Some days we need one. Some days we need all three.

Which one are you leaning on today?
Drop a word below, or save this as a reminder to be gentle with yourself. 💛

These pieces were made slowly by hand, with the understanding that growth isn’t linear and strength looks different on everyone.

You’re doing the best you can — and that counts. ✨

Today’s agenda: set 40 crystals and make friends with my bench again. 💎😅
I’ll be right here most of the day, one tiny stone at a time. Send snacks. Or patience. Or both.

Back to it… ✨🔨
