YOJ11-10 Wave Bracelet
Wave Bracelet (2011) Sterling silver Formed, fused L 17.5 cm x W 1.1 cm (variable) I’m still behind with posting, and I’m remembering that it was at about this point last year that I gave up on the YOJ because other parts of my life were overwhelming me. I’ve been doing interviews for the...
Tutorial – Art Nouveau Bangle
I’m pleased to announce that my newest tutorial, Art Nouveau Bangle, is now available! This bangle features lovely flowing curves and Celtic elements that were common in the Art Nouveau period. The project was a big hit with my students at the Haliburton School of the Arts! Once you have the basic technique down, you...
YOJ09-34 Stocking up for Christmas
The week 34 project isn’t a specific piece of jewellery, per se, more like a bunch of things I made in preparation for Christmas sales on my Etsy shop. Not really much more to say than that. Oh, and if you’re interested in purchasing my jewellery, click this link.

YOJ09-27 Art Nouveau Cab Bangle
Art Nouveau Cab Bangle (2009) Sterling silver, bloodstone L 21.5 cm x W 2.5 cm Constructed, cold joined Although it’s supposed to be a calming stone, I’ve always found bloodstone to have a kind of overpowering “in-your-face” energy that’s difficult to deal with. For the last few weeks, though, I’ve been wearing it while working...
YOJ09-11 Snowflake Obsidian Bangle
This has been such a physically brutal week for me, it’s a wonder I have any energy at all to post anything. I finally finished and submitted the viking knit piece I’ve been working on for the past two months. I haven’t been so stressed out about getting a piece done in ages. I developed...
YOJ09-09 Felt Bangle
Felt Bangle (2009) Wool 7 cm i.d. Wet felted This is not the project I wanted to post this week, but the one I’ve been playing with most of this evening is being very stubborn. I’m still struggling with finishing it. I bought a bunch of wool roving yesterday, and spent part of this afternoon...
Secret Santa 2008 – Sneak Peak :-)
I’m participating in the Secret Santa on CWJ again this year, and as usual, I’m choosing to work outside my comfort zone. Back in the summer when I was teaching at Haliburton, one of the projects we did was a “freeform” bangle. Now, anyone who knows me and has any familiarity with my past work,...
