Ring and Necklace Preview


I am not messing around: this is a serious influx of serious gems and metalwork.
I have never been more in love with a collection of hours and sweat spent making.
The new space did it: I blame a friendly ghost and seeing into the rafters.

The gifts of the coming autumn have been many. I slowed down some.
I cleaned up some bad habits I'd indulged in for too long.
I got really clear about what mattered.

I have so much to show you, I think you can feel this good place in the work,
it resonates.

Ping!!!

Surrounded by all of the beauty a smaller California country town affords,
egged on by a large and unpretentious workspace
I hammered and sweated and soldered and set happily.

I really look forward to offering this work up to the world 


tomorrow at 5 PM Pacific time.

It's all gorgeous, Allison. And- I want you to know that I wear the ring you made me almost every day & the necklace when I need an extra boost of love. Both are extremely special to me.
