Although not quite as productive as I’d like, today has been a great day! I made it into The Baltimore Sun’s fashion section this morning. You can see a scan of it here.

If that wasn’t cool enough, my copy of Craft Corps arrived in the mail today too!
Craft Corps is officially due to be released on May 10th, but they seem to be available on Amazon now. …

I break a lot of plates. A lot. I really wish that I kept track from the beginning, but who knew that this would be my full time job a few years ago? I sure didn’t. I tell you this because I have a confession. I get tired of breaking plates sometimes. It’s true. (remember my brief thing with doll arms?)
Enter: porcelain thimbles!
I love them. They are so much like plates in that you never know what bizarre image you will find on them. I have found cool advertising images …

Hello World! I Just wanted to check in for a moment and let you know what I have been up to. My next show is not until Artscape next month, so I am spending time filling wholesale orders, finishing up some wedding sets and trying to get a bit more creative with my jewelry. The piece to the left will be in a show in November at Baltimore Clayworks along with 12 other pieces. I am having fun experimenting a bit and getting out of my little pendant making box. I …

The new issue of Maryland Life is out and features a little story about my plate breaking craziness! I did the interview back in November, and had no idea it was out until I started getting emails about my red hair. I don’t think it looks THAT red.

Thanks Maryland Life!
