about the artist

Being a teacher married to a golf pro, my summer holidays always took me to the links. With plenty of down time, I would sit on the patio of the clubhouse making earrings and necklaces... (read more)

Experiment. Sometimes when I have time to work on new designs, I also play with designs that I don’t know where they are going to go or exactly how they will turn out in the end. Also, I give myself freedom to make designs that aren’t restricted to my usual boundaries...for example, scalability or price point. I made this ring last week and set the stone today. It will probably just be for me but it is nice to practice different things than the usual and stretch the boundaries.

WIP
The early days of new designs are fun but also daunting. I wish I could be more like my kids who draw something or make something and are so proud to show it off. For me, I tend to want to hide designs that are in the early phases. I am happy to show them to my husband with excitement but much trepidation comes when sharing them with others. But I am trying to get better at this as the process is important to share. A design often goes through many stages before the final product arrives. What works, what doesn’t, how to attach bails or ring shanks, what to include in the design, what not...is simple better or more detail...what will I enjoy making when I have to make a hundred of them etc. But I am trying to get better with sharing and being okay with the imperfect. These little guys are about to get oxidized and sent into the tumbler...we will see how they come out and what needs to be changed. Happy new year...don’t be afraid to take risks and try new things. We are in it together.

What a year. I am so grateful. 🥂🥳

A labour of love. This Christmas when you buy hand

A labour of love. This Christmas when you buy handmade gifts, know that the person who made it has poured their heart and soul into it. We have analyzed and evaluated every possible thing to be considered in the design, process, packaging and presentation of that item. And when you purchased it, a little piece of our heart left with it. At this time, most local makers are feeling tired and spent. We have worked so hard to give you what is so important to us and your joy in it is our joy. Thank you for supporting local makers this Christmas. We are all so grateful. I’ve tagged just a few of those I have in my home and many who I’m thankful to call friends. Check them out!
Also, I’m set up @makeitshow along with hundreds of makers until Sunday at 5!

Still hoping to pick up that perfect gift for Christmas? There might still be time! Though I’ve put a notice up on my site that I can’t guarantee arrival for Christmas anymore, there are options for express shipping or local pickup (coupon code “LOCALPICKUP” to save shipping cost and arrange to swing by and pick it up). Just check in with me before ordering if you need it for Christmas and I’m happy to arrange something with you.
And if you are in the lower mainland, swing by the @makeitshow to find hundreds of wonderful, hand crafted and locally made items perfect for gifting.

I’m all set up and ready to go for @makeitshow in Vancouver the next 5 days. It’s going to be a long one but I’m really looking forward to it and my Mom has come along with me...I’m so thankful for all of her help with my shop this busy Christmas season! Treating ourselves to brunch and pedicures before the busy weekend ahead.

West coast living. We spent this past weekend in the prairies for my father in law’s birthday and I loved it. My son was devastated that there wasn’t any snow but I loved the warmer than normal temperatures we had. But wherever we travel, I am always glad to come back to this Island we get to call home. 📷: @meganedelmanphotography 💍: glimpse wave necklace, disc mountain and trees necklace.
