First Ever Blog Posting!

Well hello there! I'm not quite sure how you've managed to stumble across this humble little blog-o-mine, but thanks for checking it out! I'm not quite used to these blogamabob thingamadoodles, so please bear with me here. I've created this in an attempt to share my life, artwork, ideas, and jewelry designs with the world. If you like what you see, you can visit my Etsy shop by using the EtsyMini link at the bottom of the page!

I think I'll kick this blog off by showing the kids of things I make!

I love working with ink and watercolors! I often create my abstract ink drawings by simply spacing out and letting the lines fall where they may. I look to the people around me for inspiration.

The piece to the left is a 6 x 6 inch drawing that was inspired by a friend of mine who writes me letters. It's part of a larger series of 16 small drawings.

The photo to the bottom right is an example of the type of jewelry I design. I enjoy working with unconventional and recycled materials in my jewelry, and the necklace pendant to the right was created with "upcycled" paint swatches.

I never create the same piece of jewelry twice - each one of my pieces is absolutely one-of-a-kind! I adore bright colors and bold, graphic shapes, and many of my designs are inspired by hard-edge painters like Frank Stella and Ellsworth Kelly.

Well, I think that's all I have for now, but keep checking back for new posts, new designs, and new artwork! Who knows, maybe I'll even post some craft tutorials! Thanks for reading!
