Where did the weekend go?! It went into making these two baubles: one cicada pendant and one glass cabochon blossom ring. My curiosity to play with the color blue has been satisfied! #sciart #handmadejewelry #cicadas

We still have leftover reception cards from our 2005 wedding. The paper is way too luxurious to toss, so I’m using them for sketches…Hoping to incorporate a little more of my illustration in my jewelry designs. #makecicadatime #illustration #jewelry #handmadejewelry #sciart

With Valentine’s Day approaching, I’ve had hearts on my mind, and just happened to finish this patient education poster on congenital heart defects. So many hearts! #sciart #scicomm #medicalillustration

Here come some in progress shots of my anatomical scrap hearts for trinket boxes, pendants and pins. Hope to have as many of these done soon, These are each one of a kind, handmade from vintage and upcycled materials! 1 box is in the @vesaliustrust valentine auction! #sciart #medart

A hole in my ❤️
My ❤️ is full
Legos, sterling, sand casting

Here’s what I have been working on after hours - another moth in a new collection I call Nocturnal Spring. This one is made of stainless steel with sterling silver and set with a 4mm rose cut labradorite. #sciart #makecicadatime

Taking a super fun sand casting class at the @baltimorejewelrycenter this weekend #makecicadatime
