opals & starfish & moons

During my time at Penland, I :

 - finally! learned to properly encase opals and started adding them to all my pieces.
(there are 6 total in the ring close up)

- became obsessed with making clustered starfish for three days straight.
 (I have a plan for all these babes!)

- felt so powerful by the Blue Moon - and in an attempt to make bracelets,
discovered the perfect shape which I plan to extend on soon.

Back in the home studio feels amazing.
I am so excited to expand on Urban Revisions but also considering new work that's more personal to me.
There's a balance there that I need to find.

/// PENLAND ///

My recent two week stay at Penland has honestly changed my life.
I could go on and on for hours but instead I'll just say that this place let's you discover a creative energy that you may not (I didn't) even know exists. I am so incredibly thankful for this opportunity and the things I have learned from Jennifer Umphress and Jessica Landau. Already brainstorming my return...

california, on my mind.

 Home from the left coast and thinking about turning back around. 
LA and SF Renegades were so much fun.
 Met so many wonderful makers, explored so many amazing places in between!
