New Challenges

Jewelry work continues there are always pearls to knot and gems to string. In addition to the jewelry I have some new projects!
This summer I started collaborating with another local designer sewing tote bags and selling them at the local farmer's market. Together we are Studio Two Design.














We are using fun vibrant and water resistant Mexican oilcloth, lovely rich upholstery fabrics and hearty practical outdoor fabrics - all beautiful and useful. All bags have a saying or fortune on the outside -some sweet, some sassy, all fun.
We also have small zippered bags - great as a small purse to slip in a jacket pocket, a cosmetics bag or a pouch to hold special treasures.







Great catnip mice and dog bandannas are coming soon for you favorite furry friends.

Prices from $30 to $300 depending on size and materials. Requires 2 - 3 weeks for completion.
