a collaboration

I wasn't at home when I received my complimentary issue of 

Belle Armoire Jewelry.   

I was happily touring around California, and the magazine was at home in my mailbox. 

I kept thinking about it, as I had become so anxious to see how an article 

I'd had a hand in putting together, 

along with a few close friends, had turned out.

 Cindy, Diana, Julie, Maire, Molly, Riki and I

would finally get to see an article we'd been working on since last October.  

I was thrilled to have these wonderful ladies & artists, 

come along with me on a fun little project I called

With One Finding.

I don't want to give away too much of the article, 

but here are the pieces my fellow artists designed for the challenge, 

all beginning with one specific finding.  

In this case, a vintage inspired piece of brass filigree called "marianne" from 

Brass Bouquet.

It is a great piece.

Julie Pishny

Maire Dodd

(Her piece was actually mislabeled in the magazine as being Riki's... 

so sorry for that MJ)

Molly Alexander

Riki Schumacher

"The Girls"

is mine.

You can also see each of these beautiful pieces on my flicker page here.

This was such a fun collaboration.  

Again, thank you ladies.

You were just the best to work with!!
