New Jewelry...

As promised, some pics of new jewelry I'll be showing this weekend at Holiday Delmar Open Studios...

{sterling silver Loretta Fontaine Jewelry Mabel necklace with Plum Ballet Flower and natural turquoise}

 I hope someone is bold enough to like the combination of plum and turquoise! This necklace is reversible, here's the back:

 I designed the back vine and flower pattern - loosely based on a William Morris wallpaper.

{custom sterling silver Quatrefoil necklace with Stuyvesant Fern and natural turquoise}

 Another necklace using some natural turquoise - what a wonderful faceted bead to work with!

 A new necklace with a favorite image - how can you not love Roses? Also reversible:

Don't forget you can order custom pieces for the holidays! Here's a piece made with a client's photo. Don't you adore this dog? His name is Domino.

Can't wait to see everyone this weekend at the sale!

Baking Goodies and Treats...

{goodies pics from last year - I did the cake, Liz did the rest...}

The smells of a chocolate cake are filling my house. Like last year, I'll add an orange glaze on top.

Please come by our Open Studios with an appetite this Saturday and Sunday!

In Print: Holiday Delmar Open Studios in the Spotlight Newspaper

{great photo of Liz!}

Thank you, Jackie Domin, for the GREAT article on Delmar Holiday Open Studios that appeared in The Spotlight Newspaper yesterday.

The article "From Architect To Artist" is in the "Entertainment In The Spotlight" section on page 24. 

Have you read it? What do you think?

Thank you again, Spotlight News!

Open House this weekend

I'm busy baking cookies and snacks for the open house.
Yesterday I got a request from someone who wants to come but will
be away on the weekend. We arranged for her to come for an early
viewing while I'm setting up on Friday evening. She said "I'll be
sorry to be missing the good food!" That made me feel good!
The food is a festive part of the weekend and nice to know that
people enjoy my baking which I feel is related to the pottery process.
" roll it and roll it and mark it with a "V" and put it in the oven..."
So come sample some goodies while you view Loretta's gorgeous jewelry and my
latest pots hot from the kiln.
Here is some of the current work:

One Week Away

Just one week to the show...
