Ophelia’s Jewelry
Silver wire-wrapped jewelry with gemstone and glass beads
July 19
I'm a children's librarian in a small town, a job which I adore. In my spare time, I love to make silver wire wrap jewelry. Making these pieces of jewelry is almost like meditation for me, and I hope that calm, mellow feeling gets passed on to the wearer! Ophelia's Jewelry is named for our beloved late tortie cat, though she was so goofy we usually called her just "Ophy."

Rainbow Kids Tie Dye
Clothing as unique and special as the person who wears it
August 30
Working in my home studio I create vibrant and colorful hand dyed cotton clothing using fiber reactive dyes. I fold each piece of clothing and then apply liquid dye that is made by mixing the powdered dye with water from my well. How I fold and apply the dye creates each design. After waiting 24 hours to allow the dye to bond to the fabric, I remove the rubber bands and triple wash each piece to remove excess dye. No two pieces are exactly alike!
