glass crystals /////////////

I just got back from another stay at Penland where I started making my own crystal forms out of glass. Looking forward to where this is taking my "clusters".

It feels like so long since I have made a post over here. I have been debating whether I should keep this blog going... it's just so much easier (and fun) to instagram, although blog posts with larger photos can be nice too. Always trying to find a balance...

CHI - TOWN

Urban Revisions will be traveling to Chicago this weekend!

This will be my 4th Renegade Craft Fair this summer. It's the best!

Trunk Show!

In just a few weeks!

 I'll be heading up to Richmond to join these talented ladies for a trunk show at Quirk Gallery.

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...
