cushions on pedestals!

Tisk tisk on me. It's been a couple of weeks since I've blogged. It gets kinda tough to keep up with the online stuff when life gets a little hectic... But, here I am making time for it.

Autumn has definitely arrived in Seattle. The leaves are all shades of red, yellow and orange. Above is a picture of the Japanese Maple tree on my porch. I love my little tree!

I've been doing a lot of making in preparation for everything that's about to happen.... I'm doing 3 craft shows for the holidays and I'm having my show at the Pratt gallery in March. So.... yeah, I've got a lot to prepare for.

Below are a bunch of sand cast pedestals I've been making for my jewelry.

I'm making cushions for the pedestals...

I'm still playing with the sizing and materials.

But I really like how precious they're turning out!

I've also been working on some new jewels for the show in March. I'm making a whole collection of "Crown Jewels" from the sea.

Well, thanks for reading! More to come next week... as long as my busy schedule doesn't swallow me up!
