Giveaway - Belle Armoire Jewelry Autumn 2015

The Belle Armoire Jewelry Autumn 2015 issue

I'm excited that my Roman Relic necklace

Belle Armoire Jewelry does stunning photography work!

(All of the photos in this post are scanned from this issue.

They look even more beautiful in the magazine!)

As a contributing artist in this issue, the wonderful people from Belle Armoire Jewelry are providing me 

with a copy of this issue to give to one of you! 

I'll give you more info on how to win this special gift below,

but first I want to show you some of the

fabulous work that this issue showcases.

I'm in love with these pendants

by Sophia Hu

And talk about the perfect mix of rustic and beauty!

Linda Bucci's cuff is amazing!

I'm fascinated with the process of enameling with words

that Laura Guenther shares!

Staci L. Smith teaches how to create beautiful pendants
by encasing stones with wire.

(I'm thinking this process could also be used with found seashells or beach glass
to create a favorite vacation memory pendant.)

You won't want to miss this amazing technique called faux embossing that my good friend, Cat Kerr shares!

These are just a few of my favorites but the
Belle Armoire Jewelry Autumn 2015 issue has so many more
techiques and incredible pieces of jewelry that
I know you'll want to see!

On The Road Again!

Those of you who check in on my blog every once in a while might remember this mixed media necklace I created last year called

 ROAD TRIP

I created it from - what would be considered - unusual jewelry components. You can find out what those components are

and the process behind the creative journey here.

I'm thrilled to say that somewhere along the roadside

this unique piece was picked up and hitched a ride into the 

Summer Issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry.

This issue is packed full of interesting jewelry articles including one by my good friend, Cat Kerr. Cat and her sister collaborated together to create a heartfelt necklace called

"A Sister's Bond"

Button Up - my article in Belle Armoire Jewelry

Look what I found in my mailbox a few days ago.

The Spring 2012 issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry which hits the newsstands today. It's just as beautiful and inspiring as ever!

The featured artist in this issue is Deryn Mentock. One of her gorgeous pieces graces the cover and inside is a wonderful article showcasing more of her lovely designs. Also included in this issue are some fascinating soldered heart box pendants by Diana Frey.

I'm thrilled to join company with them
and the other talented artists in this issue!

The article featuring my designs is called

Button Up

Each piece pairs vintage buttons with metal clay
to create a unique pendant or pair of earrings.

The inspiration for these pieces came to me one day as I was sorting through some vintage buttons from my mom's old sewing stash.

I love that each piece has a little
reminder of my mom included in it!
