My Artistic Heart

A Gilded Life is having a wonderful giveaway, a cuff bracelet made by the one and only Pamela Huntington, it is absolutely gorgeous!  I would love to win it and wear it.  It would be such an honor.  Fingers crossed!!!  Go to A Gilded Life and check it out so maybe you can win the bracelet

I am back from The Art-Is-You Retreat in Ct. and it was wonderful.  It was great seeing old friends and making new ones.  The vending went well on Saturday morning.  Everyone was in a frenzy to shop since they had classes to go to.   My wonderful hubby helped me with the vending.  I took some awesome classes, one with Kecia and Jane where I made a faux mercury glass house (I will post pictures) and a class with Andrea DeMeng where I made this awesome collage.  What fun. Now there is more exciting news!  On December 16th, I will be vending at FIT in Manhattan.  I now have to get back to work and make more jewelry for that show.  If you are in the area, head on down, there will be some great vendors there.  I am going to be with Tery Favo and Isolina Perez and Tery will be selling her gorgeous jewelry as well. Hope to see you there!

Here we are in October already!  The only problem is that today will be 84 degrees!  Where is Fall?  One of my favorite seasons!  I have been working on my jewelry for the Art Trunk Show at Art-Is-You in CT which is only a few days away.  This year I have made many different items than I usually do.  I hope a lot of people show up as the artists for this show work very hard at their muse and put everything they have into it. I am excited to say that in December, I will be vending at FIT in NYC.  I have always wanted to sell in Manhattan and I finally got the chance.  Here are some pics of my jewelry.  These are just some samples of what I have been making.  Stay tuned for more news from AIY in CT!

Wow it has been a while since I have posted anything.  I have been feverishly at work making jewelry for Art-Is-You in CT in October.  Time is really flying and I have so much to do.  I came up with an idea that if someone were making a journal, why not put a piece of jewelry on the cover?  It really glams it up!  Check it out.  Mine is almost done!  More to come later.............

Well, as promised, here is a tiny sneak preview of what I will be selling at AIY in October.  They are works in progress, but coming along nicely.  Hope to see you there!

I have been feverishly working on my Steampunk jewelry to sell at the Trunk Show in CT this October.  I have made some very interesting items, such as necklaces that can be worn as belts, Steampunk items with a Victorian edge to them.  Some Items are quite large, if you like that type of jewelry and some are regular size.  I love making hearts and using Ice Resin with them.  I started working with Ice Resin a while ago and I am now addicted!  I will post some pictures to give you a preview shortly.
