For those of you that are Three Rivers Wildcat fans, purple & white fans, purple fans or paw print fans, we are listing our "Show Your Colors" line on our ETSY shop.

We have Lynda's beautiful lampwork beads along with my resined tissue paper and hand hammered metals to celebrate our school colors. Keeping true to art jewelry, each piece will be unique. Remember that we take custom orders!

Go Cats!!!!!!!!!!!!

These pieces have been accepted into Carnegie Center for the Arts Juried Show! ( Aaron, Nugget, Tom and Mark just came to the shop and it is SNOWING. What a wonderful day!)

The show information can be found on the Carnegie web-site, http://www.trcarnegie.com/?p=467

This annual show is important for West Michigan artists and the Three Rivers community. It is always an amazing venue of creativity and personalities. It is well worth your time.

Lynda is working on another new technique for her beads. Bet you just can't wait to see what she has came up with now! I need to get busy on refilling our galleries with Valentine inspired jewels. I have heard that Valentine's Day is the second highest holiday for purchases. Hope it goes better than Christmas!

Time to get Shelby from school. Enjoy.............

With the holidays behind us I am looking ahead to an exciting new year of creating more spectacular beads. With the little time allowed me during the madness I have developed a new style bead. I have always loved the relationship between glass and metals. The copper dish is set into the molten glass and the end caps are hand hammered.

Kim and I are getting our entries ready for the 2010 Regional Juried Arts Competition at the Carnegie Center for the Arts in Three Rivers, Michigan. Check back to learn about all of our entries.

Shelby has continued with her lampwork lessons and doing very well.
