The blogosphere is amazing. In yesterday’s post, I joked that my next career should be “paper doll.” That career is now underway thanks to the gorgeous and artistic Megan Mae of Megan Mae Daily.

I’m constantly working on new jewelry. I have three 18K gold pieces in the works, as well as one silver ring. I also have wax models made for two other 18K gold pieces and I’ve got ideas for dozens of other designs that I’ll do when I can afford them. Getting started on a new…
A Portrait of the Jeweler as a Tudor Queen

The Pig Has Landed
Fernando von Bakonstein has safely returned to his Illinois home. Don’t forget to stay tuned to the International House of Blogcakes for future iHog adventures. To reminisce about the pig’s visit with me, click here. Here’s one last iHog photo. Someone came to my blog by searching for “jewelry-sniffing dog.” I was sure they really…
Fairy Feet and Other Photos
As I walked by the Prada store today I noticed some interesting shoes in the window. Fairy feet! I hope the dye doesn’t bleed like it does on the Fairy Bag or people will be very unhappy. Elsewhere today, I saw these flowers in a window box. Spring has sprung And gorgeous blogger/client Alice Olive…
