I’ve been working hard this past week on some new pieces, both custom and for my ready to wear line. I’ll have some pictures of the custom piece for you next week, it’s coming along great, and it’ll really show you more about the process of how I make silver leaves. But this week I’ve been working on finishing up my new style of Apple Tree rings. They’re cast in fine silver, and come in both a high polish silver and in a black oxidized finish. I love the way these bands came out, there really comfy, and on the thinner side of the twig rings that I cast, only 3-5 mm wide. The textures are really well defined in the apple bark, much more so then the maple tree rings.
The other piece that I finished this week is a luxurious Art Deco style leaf pendant, that’s set with a 5mm faceted White Topaz. The pendant’s hanging from a really incredible matching Art Deco style chain. Like my other leaves, I cast this Sage leaf after growing it in the garden. I hand carved the setting for the stone and set in the hand-made bail. This is a really special looking piece, the veining of the sage leaf sparkles and so does the stone, the entire piece is just so amazingly reflective.

The
Trailer Birdhouse by KoolBIrd is made with new and repurposed wood. It’s clean lines and modern feel is sure to draw quite a few birds to your yard! I know that I would love a few of these stationed around my yard for my feathered friends to live in.
It may be winter, but it doesn’t feel like it here in South Carolina. With the temperatures fluctuating between the 30′s and the 70′s it’s been quite a warm winter so far. It makes shopping for holiday’s even harder, when all I want to do is work in my garden. I really can’t stop digging and planting out there. So this holiday season’s shopping picks are for the gardener in your life. The person who can’t stop digging at the soil, even when theres inches of snow covering it. Who looks through seed catalogs with that dreamy look in their eye, imagining their garden in summer.

This morning we had our first frost! It was icy and cool and the grass all looked like it was painted with sugar. I love icy mornings with a warm mug of tea and a good book.
