Studio Journal: Updates, Insights, and Tales from My Life
Step into my Studio Journal, where glitter meets grit and every day brings a new adventure in jewelry-making. From behind-the-scenes chaos to little sparks of inspiration (and the occasional cat cameo), this is where I share the stories, insights, and mishaps that make life as an artist anything but ordinary.
Behind the Bloom: Carving the Wild Bloom Necklace
Watch the Wild Bloom Necklace go from a raw slab of laminated glass to a fully carved, hand-set piece. Every ridge and curve you see is cut and sanded by hand while submerged in water with nothing but the idea, a sketch, and a marker line to guide me. It's messy, it's slow, and it's my favorite part of the job.
Meet My Team: The Real Studio Staff
As many of you know, I’ve been on a mission to whip my website into true e-commerce shape. I sprinted like mad to get most of my to-do list finished before my Black Friday sale—and thanks to your support, it was my most successful yet! That success has given me even more motivation to keep revamping things. Shockingly, the task turned out to be much bigger than I expected, and I’m now fully accepting that this is a slow-and-steady, overtime kind of project. I’m committed to making my website genuinely shoppable: better product descriptions, better photos, and more of them—especially showing how pieces look on the neck, hand, wrist, and on real people.
