DECK THE HALLS AT GALLERY NORTH

It's hard to believe the holiday season is upon us already. Gallery North once again is displaying small, original works by local talent. I’m proud to have a pair of my handmade earring included in this festive show.

Mark and I will be at the reception on November 14th. It’s a fun way to start the season and see some really lovely crafts and fine are. Hope you’ll stop by if you're in the area.

WELCOME 2023 and HAPPY NEW YEAR

Mark and I want to wish the best to you, your friends and family for a happy and healthy new year.

PS. For the next month or so we’ll be traveling into NYC. I’m studying metal arts at the Jewelry Arts Inc. I look forward to sharing my adventures, creations and mishaps with you here on my blog.

Let’s make 2023 a good one!

Warm wishes,

Joanne

In addition to Deck the Halls, Gallery North has a Holiday Gift Bazaar. I hope to attend as a shopping at this exciting event. See below for details of this second event.

In addition to Deck the Halls at Gallery North, I’ll have a table filled with my handmade jewelry at the Rocky Point Holiday Bazar. This fair is sponsored by the Rocky Point PTA. The date is December 3rd, from 9am to 3pm, at the Rocky Point Middle School.

BANGLE BRACELETS

To make high quality sterling silver jewelry you need high quality metal smithing tools. Pictured here is one of my favorite tools, a Bill Fretz chasing hammer. I put to use making the silver bangle bracelet sitting on top of it.
