Enameling
Art in the Village in Hubbard Woods
Come join me next weekend Hubbard Woods for their Art in the Village from 10-5 June 24th and 25th. I will have a selection of my handmade silver and enameled jewelry.
Deerfield Art Festival
The summer shows are starting up! I’ll be showing my enamel collection at the Deefield Art Festival on June 3rd and 4th. All winter I’ve been cooking up some beautiful enamel necklaces and earrings, that I think you’ll enjoy this summer.
I particularly like painting bugs and flowers. First I take a picture, saw, press, or cut a copper or silver form, use fine glass particles in a sifter to create a background on the back and front, then paint or draw the bug or flower in special enamel paint. Each step is fired before moving onto the next. After I complete the enameling process I create a silver setting for most of my creations. I do hope you’ll come and check them out!

Enameled pendant with hand fabricated sterling silver setting
We’ll have locally made handcrafted gifts by 3 friends, Christy Fliou, Sheila Schaeffer-Hirsh, and me. Sheila will have her beautify handmade books and jewelry, Christy has some amazing handcrafted aromatherapy gifts, and I will be bringing a selection of handmade jewelry. We are planning to have some delicious treats, and drinks as well. Even if you don’t need to shop, we are hoping you’ll stop by and say hi. This will be in the same location as my old massage business.
