Necklaces

A few of my necklaces.
A mix of modern glass beads, lava beads, my handmade paper beads, and upcycled vintage beads.


I usually prefer to make my own focal beads but I couldn't resist these handcrafted, fair trade, fish beads from Indonesia.  I mixed them with wood, glass, brass and a few of my handmade paper beads.


Don't be square, try some of my handmade clay triangles for a one of a kind necklace.

The Blues



Handmade by me from watercolor paper.  These measure about 2" long from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the earring.  I hand-paint each piece and seal it to make it water resistant. You won't believe how light these are.   Average price point is $16 a pair.

My jewelry may be purchased at Herron and Wills in Paris, Tennessee or online in my Etsy shop.

All Things Paper Jewelry Artisan Round Up

Special thanks to Ann Martin of "All Things Paper" for including me in her Paper Jewelry Artisan Round Up.  I think I'm about the 4th artist going down the page.  All Things Paper is one of my favorite websites and is full of beautiful things made from paper - including Ann's beautiful jewelry and artwork.  It's really quite a compliment to be included with these other artists and I hope you will visit Ann's website.

New Venue For My Jewelry - Herron & Wills Co.




Just in time for your Valentine's Day shopping - my jewelry can now be found at Herron & Wills Co. on court square in downtown Paris, Tennessee.

Herron & Wills Co. is "a unique boutique with a style of its own, just like the clientele they serve."  I think it will be just the place for my unique, one of a kind jewelry.   I hope you'll visit there soon.

In The Works ...

This is what I'm working on today.   Orange, red and yellow have become one of my favorite color combinations. (In Pantone speak this would be Fiesta and Buttercup.)

I'm putting lots of love into this necklace.  A few of my handmade paper and clay jewels, a little bit of wood and glass on strands of hemp.  Little bits and pieces I've stashed over the past year.


Check back in a few days to see the finished piece.

My Art On Display At Lee School Academy For The Arts








The Tennessee River Fine Arts League, of which I am a member, provides the art work that lines the halls of the historic Lee School Academy For The Arts in Paris, Tennessee.  Occasionally, the school will have a different display, but for the most part the art is created by members of TRFAL.  The exhibit changes quarterly.  The current display will be up until mid March.  Hope you will stop by and enjoy the art!

My Art On Display At Merison's

In addition to carrying fine furniture, appliances and home decor, Merison's Furniture, located at 202 Memorial Drive in Paris, Tennessee, also carries paintings, prints, fiber arts, and pottery by a select few local artists.  I am very happy and proud to be among those select few.

Although Paris/Henry County has a thriving arts and crafts community, there are very few places for artists to display their wares - which makes Merison's all the more special.  This is something they do just to help the local art community.  So the next time you're looking for unique original art or crafts that are locally made give Merison's a try.

I usually rotate my art there every three months.  This is what I have on display now.







Thank you Merison's!
