Girl with a pearl earring.

These pearl earrings were made for a friends wedding this August. She wanted simple, classic pearl studs for her bridesmaids, I just just so but made them a little more interesting.

Handmade sterling silver earrings with 5mm white Akoya pearls set off center in the circle.

(this is just me trying them on..)

Here is one of the bridesmaids.

I am not making any excuses...

Okay, I am not making any excuses for myself. I know it has been a very time long since I have last blogged. This has been a summer of road trips and many mini-vacations. Now I am semi-re-employed and have got to make a schedule to post photos of new pretties and everyday inspirations. This blog is just going to contain fun photos of my absentees and a simple a apology......

Hilton Head: Annual Moeller (a.k.a Grizwald) Family Vacation

Camp Hilton Head.


In Savannah for my Goddaughter Bella's 1st Birthday and July 4th celebrations!


Sister Road Trip!
Very end of South Beach Miami- Niki Beach

View from Charlene's house in South Beach. Amazing

Super short visit to see Derek in Mexico.
We did some hiking and (sort-of) climbing.

Our room at the pousada Potreo Chico it is a great climbing place. Not the we climb, at least YET... if you climb and are up for a trip to Mexico the website is www.elpotrerochico.com.

Simple and sweet. There were lime, avocado, and orange trees all over the property and there was an amazing pool with an QUITE a view.

When Derek got back we went to Ginnie Springs and did a small camping and diving trip with just the two of us. It was our first time diving on our own so it took some fumbling and lots of adjusting but we seceded!

Now I am back in Athens and jewelry and art post will be coming soon...

love and laughter,

Ten beautiful maids

Well I am very disappointed in myself because I totally forgot to take a photo of the actual bridesmaids wearing the earrings. They looked amazing and everyone loved them. I am hoping I can find a photo from the brides photographer when she get hers photos. These are the photos I had taken prior to giving to them to the bride. At any rate they were a hit!

Calder inspired jewelry

Here is some jewelry that I have designed after one of my favorite artist, Alexander Calder. I am sure I have probably mentioned his name before. I have always had an a obsession with swirls, drawing them all over the front of notebooks and doodling them will chatting on the phone. I will defiantly be venturing into this more. This is just the beginning. All of these were made by shaping, forming, bending, hammering and polishing different sizes of silver wire.

These are earring jackets. You can wear them with the studs that I made or put them with any stud earrings you have...pearls or diamonds work too. I love mine with my diamond studs.

I think they would be gorgeous in yellow gold

New Painting

I meet a really sweet and talented painter at the craft show. She fell in love with my button necklaces and I loved her paintings, particularly the one below. So we decided to do a swap! I wanted to share this talented girl with you all.

Her name in Celan Hardman.

Check out her website she is amazing!

I am a sucker for fish and water painting, being a Pisces.

I also love mixed media art as well. It is 20x16, now I just need a beautiful frame.

I love how she incorporated these maps in the sky.

Here she used silk in the waves.

Picture Day

So I have been taking picture for two days now. It always seems to be a race with the sun, I don't have a light box or a fancy camera (older cannon power shot). I am really wanting a new camera, but mine will have to do until it dies.

These bracelets are made from leather scraps from Masada leather in downtown Athens.

This one my favorite.

More photos to come.....

Energy flows where attention goes...

Quote my sister Jenna gave me to reflect on. She is a very a strong and determined woman. I was feeling the need to maintain the positive energy flow.

"I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious and happy. Energy flows where attention goes."
