I like animals, nature, art, music, books, coffee, democracy. Left Instagram because someone has to.

I reshare a lot of art because it’s fun.

I make things with metal in my free time.

Our signs, made by my husband. We had to rush because I had a ton of work to do this morning. We stopped at Auld Fella afterward for some lunch and a cocktail.
Cardboard sign stating “ No Kings” with an illustration of a gold crown and a red ❌ through it. A delicious cocktail called “The Cure” at our favorite Irish pub in the neighborhood.

Been a while since I sat down at the bench. I left a bunch of half finished projects. I got the weekend off so I’m finishing up this ring that will feature a quartz crystal stone with hematite inclusions. Zoom in to check it out. It looks like confetti.

I love rosarita for its color, and the fact that’s it’s a repurposed byproduct. It’s created in the gold smelting process. The first pendant sold today, but the second one is up in my shop.

The last few years I’ve been into starburst motifs in my designs. ⭐️🤩✨

A round-cut orange rosarita stone with streaks of red. Bezel set in a sterling silver pendant. The stone is surrounded by a starburst. It has a wire flourish at the top where the chain connects.

We met up with a friend and decided to draw whatever statues we could find at LACMA today. There was a show called Realms of the Dharma and then minimal amounts of their permanent collection on view.
Drawing of a three headed deity that was carved from wood. The top drawing was of a Buddha carved from stone. The bottom drawing was of a small stone head that I think represented Buddha. This is a drawing of a beautiful bronze statue that had a lot of small gems on it. This is from a room dedicated to the work of Pablo Picasso.
