Spring Jewellery Launch...the Silver Rings

I'm really hoping for warmer weather, and bare summer shoulders.  I can't wait for long, lazy days, sangria on the patio and road trips.  But for now, I've been dreaming of Spring, and wanted to share my Spring launch with you.

I'll be rolling out the new work over the next few weeks, and I don't know about you, but one of the sure signs of Spring for me is when I can leave my gloves at home.  And those bare hands need some bold statement rings....Enjoy!

All are available in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/touchthedutch

A day in the studio.

It was a stunning day in the studio...light streaming through the windows after a long week of grey, overcast weather.

Busy working on a few things at once, which always seems to be a necessity....I'm getting work together for my solo exhibition in Regina, Saskatchewan, and working on production pieces for the upcoming holiday season.  

I've also included some shots of the original, traction freight, turn of the century elevator in the studio, perfect for lugging heavy tanks, or awkward deliveries up instead of hauling things up the stairs.  It has the same original wooden gate that it had at the turn of the century, and it works on a system of unsophisticated weights and tension, and is easy to operate. 

The gate only opens when you align the hardwood floor of the elevator with the floor you want to come out on.  You also need to hold two buttons down (like a crane I used to operate as a summer student in a factory), to move the elevator up or down.
