Sneak Peek at My New Line

I have been working the last few months on developing my new line for the year. I always work on it during the winter months and unveil it at the Libertyville Art Festival the end of the summer. I will be doing a Trunk Show at Olivia's this Saturday and decided to bring it out early this year. With a push, I was able to get a lot of the pieces made. I still have to go on my big bead buy, so I had to work with what I had and what I could order online. A little tougher then going to the show, but I really liked the results and it forced me to use up some things I already had, imagine that!

So I thought I would give you a glimpse of what the line looks like. This line is a compilation of everything I have done from the beginning of my jewelry career, 17 yrs. ago until now. It combines beading, metal work, vintage jewelry & buttons, mixed media and influences from every class I have taken, every book I have read, current fashion trends along with many long hours of figuring out how to create components to make these images in my head a reality.
So here it is~





My trunk show will be Saturday from 11-5 at Olivia's in Long Grove~across from the Village Tavern
The Long Grove Chocolate Festival is also this weekend, if you get a chance come on out:)
