New Etsy Shop

I have opened a new shop called Folk Art Tree Fandangle dedicated to my jewelry. I have found I am really enjoying making wearable art with old buttuns, charms and beads mixed with new findings for fabulous adornments. So come check it out!

My Donation to the Ronald McDonald House Auction

On June 4, the Ronald McDonald House of Portland will be hosting its fourth annual Purses with Purpose, etc. ‘fun-raiser’ at the Woodlands Club in Falmouth. At this patio event, guests will bid on purses, jewelry and accessories donated by celebrities, designers, businesses and craftspeople in the much-anticipated silent auction; then guests will be invited to enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres and watch as the fashion show and live auction festivities continue. Admission to the event is by ticket only: $40 per person.

Uncommon Jewelry: Etsy Maine Team

The first installment featuring my etsy team members .....

A somewhat wayward artist, Sidney is trained in color theory, painting and art history but has always fostered a not so minor fascination with personal adornment. Her work is born from a love of unusual combinations and proportions, and each time she finishes something the outcome is utterly balanced and wearable. Each piece is named for a goddess, or a wonderful woman who has brought some small meaning to her life. She believes every woman is beautiful and deserves a little something to remind her of just how perfect she is. Her work is also sold at Abacus Gallery in Portland, Maine so if you're ever in the neighborhood stop on by.Visit her on Etsy at http://www.uncommonjewelry.etsy.com/ or www.myspace.com/uncommonjewelry to see more photos and past work.
