I know we need the rain, but I'll be so happy to see the sun again this weekend -- and just in time for the Chevy Chase/Washington DC Fine Art Festival!  This is one of my favorite shows -- it's next to the Friendship Heights metro station by Bloomingdale's, only a mile from my home!  It's Saturday and Sunday 10 to 5, hope to see you there!  At this show I will be showing my jewelry, but not my glass art,  For both my jewelry and glass art, come to the Tephra ICA Arts Festival May 20-21st, in Reston Town Center.

Behind the Bench

I love all my children -- but honestly, I have favorites.   I enjoy making earrings, but they have to be matching (or at least close). They also can't be too heavy.  With rings, I have to worry about the size of my customers' fingers. 

With pendants, on the other hand, I can go crazy with design.  Weight isn't too much of an issue, and I can make the chain attach in all kind of ways.  I love the freedom to come up with new ideas.  Not that they always work, but my mistakes are at least instructive!
