here are some more of the latest....



I have a creative burst happening!! Here is some new work that I have made..Each piece addresses a specific need, answering a specific question. You'll have to see what they are addressing later as they are being submitted for publication.. As they take wings and fly away they deliver the blessings they are meant to. You just get a sneak peek...

Wrought Metal





I am working on some new additions to my line....I love old rusty, torn ,tattered, and used items. I was drawn to the old spanish ironwork as it weathers and becomes oxidized. Thsi of course drew me a conversation with metal. I am trying to erplicate these iron desings in silver...Here are my first attempts..Got any ideas of some irnwork you would like translated into silver? XOX Marie

I have been meaning to write this post for ohh so long...Inspirations..What inspires us. So many things inspire me from the rusty to the well worn, antiques, hunting treasures, sunrises, rainbows, bird song...artists like Alexander Calder, jewelers like Amy Hanna, Alexandra Goddard, and books like Cold Connections, Rejuvenated Jewels, Latin American decorative arts, Mexico, France, Spain and Argentina...Oh so much of the world umfurls to awaken our sense of creativity...Thanks to everything that inspires me...What inspires you?
