Curtis and I have been working away in our studio getting ready for vendor night at Artfest.
We are so excited to be included as vendors at this inspiring venue of artists.  If you have a desire to travel to an art class venue you should check out Artfest (www.teeshamoore.com).  This will be our 7th year of attending.  We love Seattle and Pt. Townsend so Artfest is just the icing on the cake!

Earrings

Earrings - I like creating them, but it is sometimes very difficult to make items created by nature close enough to be called a pair.  BUT these were really good!

A new pair of earrings in the same idea vein as the pearl and disc necklace I posted before.  I really enjoy texturing the metal... making marks in it to create a more organic surface.

I created this pair of earrings from a long rectangle of sterling silver with fresh water pearls.  Sensing a theme here of silver and pearls?  I do love them!

Earrings made of distressed copper, enamel and
fresh water pearls with mixed metal beads.  The
enameling is a lot of fun.  I revisited enameling with
Richard Salley at Artfest last March.  I used to
enamel when I was in middle school. You never know when those early experiences will resurface.
I'm looking forward to my granddaughter becoming
old enough to play with all our art stuff!
