Bird Bath


One of our children is an Aratinga Jenday Conure parrot named Sofie. She is almost a year old and is quite delightful. One of her favorite things is my water glass. She starts out taking a few sips, then pretty soon she is taking a full-fledged bath. Once she starts bathing, I just have to hold the glass away from things, cuz the spray is everywhere. Once she is drenched, she is quite happy.

Greetings from Colorado!


I have
been designing, handcrafting, and marketing my artisan jewelry for several years now. I find the process of bringing together complementary materials, colors, shapes, and textures into picturesque body ornaments both relaxing and inspiring.

I look forward to time in my work room surrounded by a sea of beads (or fabric, or paint, or paper, or ink, or…) and I also enjoy gardening in my wilderness, nestling in a cozy chair with a book, wandering the road to adventure, and messing up the kitchen while concocting tasty morsels. My space is clean, smoke free, and home to a chihuahua, a cat, and a parrot.

My one of a kind jewelry designs are currently available through online shops on Artfire, Etsy, and 1000 Markets. Please click on the links to the upper left and visit my stores.
