• I've been working lovingly on  my new painted/collage jewelry collection-shown below.  They are really unique, colorful, a little weird and I love making them. 
  I'm participating in a Natural Living Expo on Saturday October 12th in the Pontchartrain Center just outside of New Orleans.  There will be an artists loft, where I will show my paintings, painted matchboxes and other found objects as well as my new jewelry....
  Looking forward to it with excitement (and a little anxiety!)
  Whole Food Market is interested in carrying my paper jewelry for the coming holiday season~
