Welcome to our EtsyMetal monthly Blog Carnival! Blog Carnival is about a group of our members sharing their experience on a common topic. THIS MONTH’S TOPIC: “WHY DO YOU MAKE JEWELRY?” I am discovering that the detailed answer to this question is always changing, but the generic answer has always been the same, because I like it. I genuinely enjoy the process, every step of the way. Each day I get to work on my craft brings new challenges and rewards. I love a good challenge and being self taught I have had to draw on many different sources to get […]more

Out of the Studio Aug. 25th – Oct. 7th
Summer is officially gone and fall is here. To celebrate and enjoy the precious few last warm days left I am going to be taking a little bit of time away from the studio to recharge and spend some time with my family and friends. This means that any orders received during this time will be worked on and shipped on the 10th of Oct. For any special orders there may be additional time needed to finish the piece. Please let me know if you need your order by a specific date so I can be sure that it will […]more
Marquette University Senior Appreciation Neclaces
This year I had a great opportunity to make necklaces for the Seniors of the Marquette University Women’s soccer team. It was so fun to design a piece for them. One of their core values is “family” and they definitely wanted that incorporated into the design. Each players number was added to a small round charm that was incorporated into the chain. Thanks guys & Go Marquette!
Utopia Fest 2012
As promised here are a few pics of the trip. Sorry for the delay. Things have been crazy busy around here and hopefully I will have big news to share with you soon! Utopia Fest is a small music festival in the middle of nowhere Texas. The first night was CRAZY! Apparently it never rains in Texas, but when it does… it really rains! Luckily it wasn’t cold. There was mud, we were dirty, wet and it was fantastic! You would think a torrential down pour would ruin an outdoor concert, but we rallied and had a fantastic time. Dr. Dog […]more
Back To School : Etsy Metal Blog Carnival
Welcome to our EtsyMetal monthly Blog Carnival! Blog Carnival is about a group of our members sharing their experience on a common topic. THIS MONTH’S TOPIC: “BACK TO SCHOOL?” Back to school means the beginning of fall, and one of my favorite times of year. (Starbucks Pumpkin Spice season!) I love driving up the canyon and watching the dogs run through the freshly fallen leaves. I was always one of those weird kids who loved going back to school and it is still the same today. I feel like I am always trying to learn new things, and especially recently I […]more
New Jewelry & some news
It has been a little while since the last update. A lot has been going on, both in my personal life and with Abella Blue. The biggest change affecting my business was that I was unfortunately part of a large scale layoff. So, for the time being I have the unique opportunity to work on my business full time. Also, if you have sent me correspondence in the past two weeks or so, it looks like the contact page was not working correctly. I am so sorry and it looks like everything is up and running correctly again. So if […]more
