Drawings

One of the nicest things about my recent show

was I was able to exhibit my drawings.

Everyone gave me such great feed back and that

inspires me to get back to the drawing board!

I decided to hang them up in my store for a while.

Drawing is one of my favorite things to do. It is so loose and free.

I always try to make time to draw, sketch or doodle.

Someday I'll have a show in a room filled with lots of sketch books.

Shell Series

This new line was launched at lunch at

the River Tavern on Saturday.

A wonderful afternoon in a beautiful, intimate setting....

Great food, great company, lots of laughs, drawings, inspirations,

new work, ladies trying on new jewels, wine,

a memorable afternoon....

It was so much fun, we will do it again!

I promise to post some pictures up soon.

Thank you all for making it such a special afternoon.

I feel so lucky to be able to make jewelry

to pass it on to you to enjoy!

My Scarlett

It's hard to express how I feel today.
4 years ago at about 9am, out came Scarlett.
The most exciting, exhilirating and amazing moment.
That moment is turning into a lifetime.
We will have that connection for ever.

I love you so much Scarlett,
as we say,
from here to the moon and back!

Scarlett's Drawings

Mornin' at the Joplin's

Our friends visiting.

These 3 have been here for days.
Sometimes, we see dozens. The funniest thing
is when they walk up the driveway in a row.

Calder inspired

Remember my wire faces, I have to bring them back! They definitely make you laugh...

Hi!Here we go.... Yipeeeee!!!!

Let's do it again!

Don't you just love these old tin toys?!

Marsh Grass

I have always been inspired by nature.

Lately, I decided to use it more directly.

I made this necklace by pressing the

marsh grass right into the sterling.

Jewelry and Shadows

These photos were taken from an exhibit I had where I hung my

jewelry away from the wall and lit it, so the shadows would

dance as the pieces moved. As you can see, some of the

shadows are so delicate they look like line drawings.

Sunday Blues

Which one best describes how you feel today?

Blahh.....Ahhhhh.....Arrrrgh

Happy 40th Moe!

Dear Moe, I can't believe I've known you since

we were 15

and now we are 40!

I have to say, I've never seen you as happy as you are now.

May all of your wishes and dreams still keep coming true! Here is to all of the great times we have had together and

for all of the great times we will have together,

especially on this celebratory year!

Lots of Love, Dina
