Feathers in Stringing Magazine

I was excited to see one of my feathers featured in the Spring issue of Stinging Magazine. Be sure to pick up or download a copy to see the trendy necklace Stephanie LaRosa designed.

I love making these feathers - they hit on so many current trends: boho, tribal, chevron and geometric. They are multi-taskers! Not to mention they are fun to paint.

I offered these as a limited edition last fall and have just put a few more in my Etsy shop.

20,000 Leagues Collection

I was so excited to spot my 20,000 Leagues Urchin Toggle in the Vintaj's Mixed Metals book earlier this year.  If you haven't picked up this booklet I highly recommend it.  It's filled with innovative ways to combine Vintaj components, altered art techniques and jewelry designs with lots of art beads sprinkled throughout projects.  The Vintaj team is so stinking creative, I don't know how they constantly come up with new brilliant designs, but they amaze me every time.

I love this bracelet by Jessica Klaaren from Beadful Things Jewelry using one of my 20,000 Leagues Urchin Connectors.

The days are getting warmer and June is getting closer - are you feeling summer yet?
