Valentine's Day Earrings

- I generally paint my jewelry in a more contemporary design, but the tiny roses on this pair of earrings are different and I like them alot. The roses themselves are painted in tints of pink and magenta- the background a tint in a romantic low key yellow. And the "dangles" ( I haven't found a better word to describe them yet) are painted to match.

These earrings are a departure from my usual, and I think I can be inspired to paint more jewelry in a sort of Victorian inspired mode.

Jewelry about ART

Alot of my jewelry involves the subject of fine ART- artists you may know, classic artists whose work is seen in a different context pinned to your shirt or handing from your ears. Here's one that's actually a small painting of two people meeting in an art museum where theye are viewing Impressionist art.

In some of my pieces, the people will be painted along with the words in their conversations. The second pin shows Picasso's couple enjoying a Cezanne "Bathers" painting and commenting on it. By wearing this pin, we suppose you, too, would be expressing your enjoyment of "Bathers" and the Picasso couple.

This pin is a tribute to de Kooning

This blog will show some of the fun I have while creating
the jewelry pieces you see, which are all one of a kind.

I used to have a wonderful artist's rep who sold my jewelry to all kinds of boutiques, museum shops, and even department stores.

Times being what they are, she's got a full-time job now.


It's much easier for someone else to sell your hand made jewelry, believe me.
