Mother and Daughter Designing

Although too much time is spent in the office, managing the business, our favorite days are those when we can design together.  Alisha and I share workspace on an heirloom drop down desk and when we are not talking we listen to mystery audio books while we design. Alisha is talented and quick to learn and is making her mother proud!

Alisha is putting the final detail on a Sugar Glider Charm and I am in the early stages of sculpting a Squid Ear Cuff.  Both of these pieces will be available early this summer.

Octopus Tentacle Twist Ear Cuff

My new Octopus Tentacle Ear Cuff is now available in both solid sterling silver and antique bronze.  This was a challenging design to create with the many suction cups but I have had requests for a smaller octopus themed ear cuff.

Angel Kitty Ear Cuff Wax

The inspiration for this whimsical Angel Kitty Ear Cuff design fell from the heavens, quite by accident. Alisha was putting away an assorted pile of freshly polished ear cuffs and came into my studio laughing.  The Angel Heart Ear Cuff  and Cat Ear Climber Cuff were stuck together, the wings of the angel heart wrapping up around the cat like a pair of angel wings.  I’ve combined and modified these two ear cuff designs into a new and “Angelic” version of my Cat Ear Climber. The Angel Kitty Ear Cuff will be available in late April.

Fire Agate Turtle Wax

After a trip to India and the U.A.E. I’m finally getting traction on creating new jewelry designs.  This original wax carving is for a one of a kind, 18K gold, Turtle pendant, set with an 11 carat Arizona Fire Agate. Several years ago, I designed a Fire Agate Turtle Pendant but the shape and size of each stone determines the design so no two Fire Agate Turtle Pendants will be alike.  I expect this piece to be available towards the end of April.

This Rainforest Python Snake Pendant is my newest snake design. This is a photo of my original green wax carving. It hangs downward wrapping gracefully along the sterling silver chain. It’s pictured beside my popular Vine Snake Pendant to give a size comparison. The Python Snake Pendant is 2 1/4″ long and will be available for sale in sterling silver in mid April. Marty

Back from India and Dubai

I just returned back from a trip to India and Dubai.  I went with my 20 year old son John and we had a fabulous time.  I’m recharged and inspired and happy to be home with time ahead to create new designs.  By the end of next week I will post a blog of our trip to India and the UAE.  Marty

Time to travel

Marty between Rinca and Komodo islands

It’s time to travel again. My son, John, and I are traveling to India in January. Our itinerary will focus on the Rajasthan area where we will visit ancient desert forts, majestic palaces and meander souks and crowded bazaars.   I expect to be visually and inspired and to return refreshed and ready to create new designs.  Adventure awaits!
