à deux ailes

One cool thing about delving into the world of design is all the cool people you meet along the way. I met Lois of "à deux ailes" on myspace of all places! Lois is from France, but speaks great English. She friended me on myspace & we started chatting on myspace regularly. She tells me about the breaking into the jewelry design scene in France & I tell her about how it is in the States. We even did a jewelry exchange.! I sent her a Double Slink lariat (seen below)



& she sent me one something like this:



Lois & I have been friends now for several months rooting on one another from across the pond!
You can see more of Lois' work at http://www.adeuxailes.com/.



Here is Lois again...isn't she beautiful?!

Until next time...

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I plan to write about my adventures in the world of crafting, designing, and all the lovely things that come with it. I am an independent jewelry designer from Maryland, about 45 min. northwest of DC & 45 min. west of Baltimore.


I create hand hammered jewelry from sterling silver & gold filled metals, like these gold filled earrings on my model Lilly.





I also make vintage inspired jewelry from vintage finds, like this necklace made from a vintage Japanese charm.

Check back often for updates on my business and my quest to find the best indie designers out there to share with you!

TTFN (Ta Ta For Now)!
