New Learning to Fly Series

LTF_cloudpicLast August, a couple who started as clients and soon became very close friends, flew my husband Matt and I to their home in Delaware on their private Navajo plane.  Outside the window I could see the clear, gorgeous sky and beautiful clouds.  I took some pictures (see left for a sample) of the clouds from the plane’s window, because I was immediately inspired to use the cloud texture as an etched surface design for silver vessels.

The first two pieces in my new Learning to Fly series are two vases.  Each vase has a hand drawn cloud design that was etched into the surface with nitric acid to create the cloud like texture.  To view, look under my website Portfolio in the Vase category.

This is just the beginning of an exciting new series!  Soon to come objects include silver dishes, a silver perfume bottle, and more!

New Calla Lily Series

CL2My latest silver jewelry series was based on the Calla Lily flower, which was one of the flowers I selected for my wedding decor.  Recently Lynn Butler of Little Blue Dish did a feature on my wedding and while going through images to provide her with, I was inspired by the gorgeous shape and curve of the flower.  The first three pieces include earrings and two pendants.  View the series in my Portfolio or purchase directly from my online store!
