OSPREY'S DOMINION LI ARTSHOW

Hello friends. I hope your summer is going well. Lately the garden is such a strong pull that I’m not at my jewelry bench too much. There are however, a few things I’m working on for the LI Artshow at Osprey’s Dominion, on Saturday, July 16th. I’m sharing a behind the scenes look at a few pieces in progress that will be at my table.

I’m very excited to participate as a vendor in this fun and diverse event. Gene Casey and the Lone Sharks are the featured band that day so there will be plenty of dancing going on. One fond memory from last year was seeing the osprey circle over head above the vineyard. It was beautiful.

Here’s a link to the Osprey’s Dominion. Check out other exciting things they have to offer that day and during the year, as well as directions. https://ospreysdominion.com Please note that the LI Artshow isn’t listed on their calendar of events. Kindly see my June 17th blog post for more information.

MANDALA EARRINGS

The unprecedented times of the Covid-19 pandemic are fraught with stress, worry and misinformation. To manage social distancing I’m staying in touch with friends virtually. Thank goodness for Zoom. I’m also helping at the hospital where I work, taking care of family  and challenging myself to learn new things.

During lockdown I’m trying to make lemonaid out of lemons. In an online class given by the talented metalsmith, Leslie Kail Villarreal, I learned to make the gorgeous, light weight mandala earring I’m wearing. They are a different design direction from my geometric signature collection of jewelry but that’s OK. I was challenged and distracted from the constant stream of bad pandemic new.

Thanks Leslie, for keeping metal smiths such as myself working and learning during these challenging time.
