never settle for boredom.
s I love to come up with new pieces to add
to my Simple Truths line. I try to stick to
items that I would like to use and not so
focused on following trends, but sometimes I get lucky, like with my new ‘Wanderlust’ series. These tribal-influenced
pieces are perfect for the gypsy soul and
I love the bright pops of color that make
o me feel happy! They feel very retro but
s also very now.
u- In 2012 I started offering the Simple
Truths Sampler Club. This subscription
service is limited to only 20 participants
per month and can be purchased in 3-,
6-, 9- or 12-months. Because the participants are few, I get to know them like
treasured friends. In 2013, I decided to
stretch myself and vowed that I would
use the Art Bead Scene art as my inspiration. I think that I have created some of
the best Simple Truths from limiting myself to this art. I also challenged myself
to find new-to-me methods of working
with polymer clay, from creating canes,
making reliefs, using gold leaf or carving my own texture plates. I am working
right now on both the July Sampler
and I am very excited to be bringing this one to life!
stamp on everything you do, that is what
gives a piece the heart. I would love to
make all my components (clasps, chain,
etc) by hand, but that is not realistic for
me at this time and not necessary for me
to believe that it is handmade. If it is a
design that truly comes from the heart
you will know it when you see it!
